Sr Software Engineer

Job Description

The Job

CNN is the world's most essential and engaging source of video and digital news,
and we're embarking on a crucial mission to grow the next generation news and
information consumer product. You'll be joining an empowered cross-functional
team building the trusted new digital products, platforms, and formats that put
CNN's talent, expertise, and content programming - and the directions it goes next
- directly in the hands of consumers. The Internet is changing the news and
information landscape, and we have an ambitious product roadmap grounded in
journalism and facts. Our team has a unique ability to marry content, design,
product, and technology to spark connection, fulfill utility, and build community.

You will be joining a new team building products and technology that will bring new
customers to CNN. We work closely with product managers, data scientists, and
product analysts to explore growth opportunities, generate hypotheses, and test
features. We experiment and test across many applications, including web, mobile,
and TV/OTT.
Our tech stack consists of AWS Services, Flink, JavaScript, Node, and Python. Our
data stack consists of Snowflake, Snowplow, dbt, MixPanel, Tableau, Optimizely,
Airflow, and AWS services. However, we will be flexible in our technology choices as
we leverage internal services, open-source software, and cloud services.

Your ability to be flexible and traverse the full stack will be an asset to us as we
evaluate the tradeoffs inherent in software engineering and experimentation. We
have fun with this everyday: balancing what our users are asking for, what our users
actually do, our current technical strengths, and what new technologies are
emerging and where we want to grow as a team. We hold the ability to choose (or
invent) the right tool for the job in high regard and consider it a critical part of our
success.

In this remote world, we value your ability to work independently and allocate time
sensibly while communicating with high emotional intelligence. We are enriched by
the diversity of approach and perspective across our team and are excited to deepen
our understanding with your contributions. The opportunity to put an amazing
consumer experience in the hands of a large audience motivates us to move quickly
and put our best work forward. If this resonates with you, we look forward to meeting
you!
