This role emphasizes end-to-end software engineering, from architecture and APIs to front-end delivery and real-time broadcast graphics, serving live and data-intensive workflows that support content creation at scale.

The role spans real-time broadcast graphics, data synchronization across platforms, and applied AI. You will help solve creative production problems for artworks and graphics teams, and build and design systems that streamline newsroom and artworks workflows, carrying ideas from rapid prototype to supported, operational systems.

Responsibilities

Application and Systems Development

• Architect, build, and deploy full stack applications supporting live production and content workflows.
• Partner with Newsroom, product and creative teams to understand production pain points, and design systems that solve newsroom and creative production workflow problems.
• Build self-service tools that automate repetitive creative production tasks, such as templated graphics generation, at scale.
• Deliver modular, scalable, and high-availability systems integrating editorial and technical platforms.
• Develop APIs, orchestration logic, and middleware connecting front-end interfaces to enterprise systems.
• Design serverless and event-driven services that generate rendered assets and templated graphics on demand.

• Normalize, transform, and synchronize data across broadcast, streaming, and digital platforms.
• Integrate with internal and third-party APIs to unify access to content and operational datasets.
• Build integrations across REST, GraphQL, and WebSockets, passing information between systems in real time to keep content and operational data in sync.
• Power data-driven templates with managed sync services so live graphics stay in sync with source data.

AI Integration

• Partner with AI research teams and technology vendors to prototype and deploy frontier AI capabilities.
• Operationalize generative and multimodal models that enhance creative workflows and production efficiency.
• Deploy pre-trained ML models in production pipelines, for example automated image processing.
• Build agentic workflows that let AI assist or drive control room operations.
• Embed AI-driven automation into existing editorial, graphics, and control applications.
