About the role

We're looking for a curious, technically strong software engineer to join our Corporate Ventures and AI Operations team.
You care about the milliseconds between a user opening the app and finding something they love.
You think about what makes someone stay, subscribe, and come back tomorrow - and you write the code that makes that happen at scale.

Help build instrumentation and monitoring systems that track performance signals (load times, stream quality, error rates) to ensure users experience fast, flawless products across web, app, and live streams
Build tooling to help surface friction in the user journey, working with product and engineering to ship fixes
Support the experimentation infrastructure used to test retention-boosting product changes
Help build the data infrastructure (feature pipelines, training datasets, feedback loops) that keeps recommendation models fresh, accurate, and served in production with low latency
Partner with content and product teams to ship recommendation output into intuitive, performant user experiences
Build and maintain components of data pipelines and services that process large-scale ads, user event, and engagement data
Write clean, well-tested code (SQL, Python, PySpark, or similar) to transform raw data into reliable, analysis-ready datasets and APIs, with code review support from senior team members
Help build automated checks to monitor data quality and flag data integrity issues
Partner with platform and engineering teams to keep systems scalable, observable, and well-documented
Support the engineering behind the commission calculation system for the ad sales team, with a senior engineer owning overall design - focusing on accuracy, reliability, and auditability

Bachelor's or Master's degree (recent grad or up to ~2 years of experience) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field
Proficiency in at least one general-purpose programming language (Python, Java, Scala, or Go) and working knowledge of SQL
Coursework, academic projects, or internship experience involving data pipelines, backend services, or applied software systems

Exposure to distributed data processing concepts (Spark, Hive, or similar) is a plus, not required

Health, dental, and vision care for you and your family (100% coverage for employee)
Paid time off and paid holidays
FSA, HSA and commuter benefits programs
Depending on the position, the role may also be eligible for discretionary bonus and options.
We offer a competitive benefits package:
Pay may vary based on a number of factors including job-related skills, level, experience, geographic location and relevant education or training.
