Android/iOS Mobile Engineer - Grayjay

Grayjay is a source first and privacy first media application that lets users follow creators, not platforms. The app aggregates content from multiple video sources including YouTube, Rumble, Twitch, PeerTube, Odysee, and more, into a single unified experience. Grayjay gives users full control over their viewing experience.

The application features an extensible JavaScript plugin system that allows the community to create and maintain integrations with additional platforms. Core features include universal subscription feeds, multiplatform search, offline downloads, background playback, picture in picture, and casting support via FCast.
