As an individual contributor, you will design, develop, and build data service products that support multiple FOX business units.

• Deploy and manage cloud infrastructure in AWS, including EKS (Kubernetes), Lambda, DynamoDB, Redis, and Postgres

• Implement and enhance CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Terraform

• Improve system reliability through enhanced test coverage, observability, and alerting

• Collaborate cross-functionally with product and engineering teams to refine requirements and deliver iteratively

• Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, and team ceremonies

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• 2+ years of experience building and maintaining production backend services (Go preferred; Python a plus)

• Familiarity with the .NET development environment, including C#, F#, and NuGet

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, fast-paced environment

• Regular, on-site attendance at the workplace a minimum of 3 days per week is an essential function of the position. Selected candidate must be able to reliably meet this requirement.

• Experience supporting large-scale media, streaming, or real-time data platforms

• Familiarity with infrastructure as code best practices
