As a Senior Software Developer, CNN Connected TV Devices, you will lead technical efforts to build out world-class connected TV streaming video applications across an ever-growing number of devices and platforms, in order to bring CNN to our users! In this role, you’ll make significant contributions to major features and product initiatives for our connected TV applications. Your main focus will be on shipping: everything from brand new features, to platform ports, to bug fixes.

You’ll be making significant individual contributions in this role, but this goes beyond just cranking out code to ship. You’ll also help your team improve over time by contributing to high quality software engineering practices - continuous integration, effective test coverage, automated testing, positive and constructive code reviews, and low friction development environments. Finally, as a senior engineer, you’ll model and evangelize a positive, inclusive, and constructive way of working for your team.
