We empower a diverse range of creators to imagine and develop culturally significant content, while building an organization that thrives on creative ideas, operational expertise and strategic thinking.ABOUT THE ROLEOur Senior Media Platform Engineer role will build and operate the workflow orchestration and integration layer that powers FOX’s internal software-defined media services and AI-enabled workflows. This position focuses on developing the “glue” between platforms—workflow engines, microservices, APIs, data stores, and observability—so FOX can reliably deploy, scale, and support AI-assisted media capabilities across production and distribution environments.This role works closely with multiple engineering teams and operational stakeholders to translate user needs into repeatable, governed workflows (POC pilot production) using modern software engineering practices and cloud-native delivery patterns. You will help FOX standardize how workflows are defined, validated, released, and monitored—especially for high-value AI use cases such as transcription, dubbing, highlights, video/audio analysis, and generative media services.ABOUT YOUYou are excited by new technology and its potential to change how things are doneYou LOVE getting stuff done, not just talking about it!You take ownership in your products and their success in the companyYou enjoy building systems that other teams depend on, and you care about reliability and maintainabilityYou can translate ambiguous user needs into clear software requirements, APIs, and deliverable milestonesYou value automation, testing, and observability as first-class parts of engineeringYou like working across teams to evaluate options and deliver the best solution—not just “a” solutionA SNAPSHOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIESWorkflow Orchestration & Platform ServicesDesign and implement workflow orchestration for media and AI pipelines (job definitions, routing rules, scheduling constraints, approvals, retries, and error handling)Build and maintain platform services that standardize how workflows are executed and governed across environments (dev/test/prod)Develop reusable workflow templates, SDKs, and integration patterns that accelerate delivery and reduce one-off implementationsImplement policy and guardrails for workload isolation (e.g., real-time vs batch vs experimental) in partnership with platform/SRE teamsAI Model Selection, Training & Lifecycle EnablementPartner with AI/ML stakeholders to evaluate model options (build vs buy vs fine-tune), including selection criteria such as quality, latency, cost, and operational complexitySupport model implementation into production workflows, including packaging, versioning, deployment patterns, rollback strategies, and reproducibilityContribute to model lifecycle practices such as dataset/labeling requirements, evaluation/benchmarking metrics, A/B testing approaches, and periodic model refresh processesHelp operationalize model governance: traceability of model versions, model performance monitoring in production, and release notes tied to workflow versionsQuality Gates, Validation & Operational ReadinessImplement workflow-level validation and acceptance checks (input validation, output verification, automated quality gates) to ensure reliable, repeatable outcomesDefine “production-ready” criteria for workflows (telemetry, error handling, documentation, runbooks, support handoffs) and enforce them through automationPartner with operations and reliability teams to ensure workflows can be supported in a 24/7 environment, with clear escalation paths and on-call expectations where appropriateSoftware Development, CI/CD & ObservabilityBuild production-grade services with strong engineering discipline: code reviews, automated testing, secure coding practices, and documentationImplement and improve CI/CD pipelines for workflow services (build, test, deploy, promote, rollback) in partnership with platform teamsEnsure services are observable and supportable (structured logs, metrics, tracing, dashboards, and operational runbooks)Perform root cause analysis and automate repetitive operational tasks to reduce toil and improve reliabilityCollaboration & Client Outcomes (Internal + External)Work across engineering teams and stakeholders (Broadcast, Video, Monitoring & Control, Networking, Media Infrastructure) to define requirements, evaluate alternatives, and deliver the best solution for FOX workflowsTranslate user and operator requirements into clear user stories and acceptance criteria (“As a user, I need…”)Support internal clients (MCR/operations, production engineering, distribution teams) and, when applicable, improve FOX’s ability to support external partners through better reliability, visibility, automation, and repeatable delivery patternsWHAT YOU WILL NEED5+ years professional software engineering experience building and operating production services (APIs, microservices, distributed systems)Strong experience with cloud-native development practices: containers, service orchestration concepts, and CI/CD deliverySolid programming ability in one or more common backend languages (e.g., Python, Go, Java, TypeScript) and comfort building RESTful APIs and integrationsExperience integrating with data systems (SQL/NoSQL), message/event systems, and modern authentication/authorization patternsExperience evaluating and integrating practical AI/ML capabilities into production systems, including automation, intelligent monitoring, workflow optimization, or developer toolingStrong troubleshooting mindset: ability to debug production issues and implement durable fixesStrong communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally with technical and non-technical stakeholdersNICE TO HAVE, BUT NOT A DEAL BREAKERExperience with workflow orchestration tools or event-driven architecturesFamiliarity with observability tooling and SRE-style operational practices (SLIs/SLOs, alerting, postmortems)Understanding of modern AI technologies such as LLM APIs, vector databases, and inference services, with the ability to apply them pragmatically in scalable, reliable environmentsExperience integrating AI/ML inference services, MLOps patterns, or contributing to model evaluation/fine-tuning workflowsFamiliarity with Kubernetes/OpenShift operations and infrastructure-as-code conceptsExposure to live media/broadcast concepts (helpful, but not required—we can teach)Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent practical experience in Engineering, IT, Computer Science or related technical field#Ll-CC1#DTCWe are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants
