Overview of the Role:

Glance TV is reimagining television as an intelligent, interactive, and personalized platform at the intersection of AI, entertainment, advertising, and commerce. Its AI-powered platform turns connected TVs into experiences for content discovery, commerce, personalization, and engagement, and Glance is being integrated natively into connected-TV ecosystems, including Android/Google TV and Samsung’s Tizen OS.
