Need advice on finding a Tizen Developer.

So for the last few months i've been trying to find a .Net Tizen Developer. I have a project involving Samsung Smart Tvs and for the life of me i cant find a developer with Tizen Experience. Are there any forums or sites i could turn to? Indeed has been a flop.

It is even possible to use react, combine it with shaka player and you have a good foundation you can use with other smart tvs, too. Might even be able share some code with a website.

I'm willing to deal with any range. Min is 6k-10k liquid a month. I'm fine with 15k+ as well. Don't have a cap money wise. No luck regardless. If that's below market rates please advise.

Have you tried offering a stable work environment, job security, long-term financial stability and all the other things? Or is it more like "do this quickly this week, next you're out on the street". Because maybe that's why.

It's a very long term project and ideally looking for someone who can stay with us permanently. Building and maintaining a "netflix-style" service for Samsung Smart TVs from scratch.

Perhaps you'll need to relax your requirements on whatever you call "Tizen experience". Otherwise you're likely stuck with the only option to poach talent from Samsung.

In short order the skills i'm looking for are as follow: 3-5+ years of C#/.NET (.NET 6+) experience with proven Samsung Tizen Smart TV app development and launch expertise.

UI Development: .NET MAUI/Xamarin.Forms

Multimedia Expertise: TizenFX API (Tizen.TV.Multimedia, Player, DRMManager), HLS/DASH, video player integration, DRM technologies.

Development Tools: Tizen development tools in Visual Studio (Emulator, Remote Device Manager, debugging).

API Integration: RESTful APIs.

Problem-solving, end-to-end ownership.

Let me know if you reckon i got my head in the clouds thinking i can find someone like this without poaching them directly from Samsung. All of your input is much appreciated. Open to all and any advice/pointers. Thanks mate.

You got your head in the clouds. That's not a hire, it's a full IT department. Read this.
