About the role
Samba is a media intelligence company. We know what the world is watching, reading, and thinking about — in real time, at scale, across every screen. Our data exists with the consent of over a billion people, organized into the most complete picture of consumer attention ever built. The biggest brands in the world use that picture to make smarter decisions. We think it’s the most interesting data asset on the planet, because it’s the most culturally relevant.
You'd join Embedded Platform, the team inside Samba's TV engineering org that turns Samba's ACR technology - audio, video, and TV signal capture - into something that actually runs on hardware.
That means writing to spec, working directly with OEM and SOC engineering teams, and validating what partners ship back before Samba can use any of it. This is about as upstream as it gets: if the signal doesn't get captured off the device, there's no TV data downstream, and TV data is the base layer Samba's whole business is built on. Beyond the core ACR work, the team also powers mobile apps that use TV viewership data and an edge AI feature that recognizes video game titles and shoppable items showing up on screen.
Q4 brings a new OEM project live - Sony's audio ACR work and the Titan OS integration are both active right now. Whether that runs in parallel with everything else already on the team's plate, or reshuffles who's working on what, depends on who's in this seat.
