Burst investors Sinclair Broadcast Group (the largest owner of TV stations in the US) and Horizon Media (controls $6B in advertising) are poised to position Burst as must-have technology across the broadcast TV and digital video ecosystems.

Burst has a flat team structure, and a relaxed, collaborative, friendly culture that nevertheless does not compromise on passion, work ethic or challenge. We like to take on hard problems, and solve them together. We like specialists who can also be generalists, meaning people who are really good at one or two advanced skills, and have a strong desire and ability to learn many others.
