WeAreParamount on a mission to unleash the power of content… you in?We’ve got the brands, we’ve got the stars, we’ve got the power to achieve our mission to entertain the planet - now all we’re missing is… YOU! Becoming a part of Paramount means joining a team of passionate people who not only recognize the power of content but also enjoy a touch of fun and uniqueness. Job Title:Senior Software Engineer, CMS Platform - Paramount Streaming Department: Technology & EngineeringLocation: Burbank, CA / New York, NYC / San Francisco- Onsite We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer, CMS to design and deliver scalable services at Paramount Streaming. You will become an expert in core components of our content management platform, lead small-to-medium projects, and mentor other engineers — shipping high-quality code across a polyglot stack powering Paramount+, Pluto TV, and CBS.com.

You're driven to improve code quality, developer experience, and team processes. Java/Spring Boot, Next.js/React, Python, Kafka/PubSub, and Solr search pipelines. Become an expert in one or more CMS platform components — and codify that expertise so AI agents can ramp on it (clear conventions, agent-readable docs). Lead small-to-medium projects from inception to delivery, including scoping and coordination. Identify and address complex technical issues — debugging, performance tuning, root-cause analysis. Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing — including AI-augmented workflows. Participate in on-call rotation, incident resolution, and RCAs. Help grow the team through interviewing and onboarding new members.

BS in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent applicable experience. 5+ years of professional software engineering experience. Strong experience with Java (17+) / Spring Boot and TypeScript / React / Next.js. Experience with Python, relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), and CI/CD pipelines. In-depth knowledge of algorithms, data structures, and software design patterns. Experience with message brokers (Kafka, GCP Pub/Sub) or cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes).

Familiarity with content management domains or media/streaming platforms. Experience with container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and DevOps practices. Experience with technical writing and design documentation.

AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, Gemini, Copilot) are table stakes — we provide licenses and expect daily fluency. Senior engineers here also help shape how the team uses these tools well: encoding conventions, setting review patterns for agent-generated code, and mentoring juniors on judgment. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other characteristic protected by law.
