Crunchyroll

Crunchyroll is the world's most popular anime brand. We’re an international business focused on creating both online and offline experiences for anime fans, through content (licensed, co-produced, and originals), merchandise, events, gaming, news, and more. 

About the Team

Our fans don't just watch anime - they celebrate it, debate it, and analyze it; the conclusion of an episode isn’t an end but rather the beginning of a week-long obsession. We’re building experiences that allow our fans to share their energy and passion in ways that makes the video experience better for everyone.

As a member of the Consumer Experience product team, you'll be responsible for crafting a product vision for on-platform social and community features, and for evangelizing your vision within the organization to make it happen. You'll work across our Product and Engineering organizations to craft, define and execute on those features with the goal of making the Crunchyroll video experience increasingly social for our viewers.
