We are building a next-generation digital ecosystem that brings together television, radio, streaming, apps, and data-driven personalization into a unified experience that informs, educates, and inspires our diverse communities. We are seeking a curious, self-possessed developer who thrives at the intersection of design, development, and problem solving.

• Create lightweight applications and services (Node.js, Python, or similar) that integrate with our existing digital ecosystem.

Data & Analytics Integration

• Assist in building automated data pipelines from multiple sources into BigQuery.
• Collaborate with data analyst to create real-time analytics solutions that improve decision-making across the organization.
• Act as a thought partner in exploring new territories (apps, OTT, etc.), helping manage contractors and vendors to deliver outstanding user experiences.
• Participate in brainstorming, prototyping, and iterative refinement of ideas across digital platforms.
• Provide ongoing support and troubleshooting to remove day-to-day dev work from leadership's plate.

Minimum Qualifications of Position

• 2-4 years of professional web development / UX experience.

• Ability to learn and adapt quickly across new tools, APIs, and frameworks.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to question assumptions with confidence.
• A collaborative mindset with excellent communication skills.
• Experience with implementing user-centered design.

Preferred Qualifications of Position

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (GCP and / or AWS).
• Experience designing and maintaining content taxonomies, metadata schemas, or information architectures for multi-site digital properties; familiarity with modeling content types in headless CMSes (Builder.io, Contentful, Sanity, etc.) and mapping metadata to analytics (BigQuery, GA4) is strongly preferred.
• Exposure to serverless functions, APIs, or microservices.
• Experience with Python or Node.js for backend scripting, pipelines, or automation.
• Knowledge of data analytics workflows (BigQuery, Looker, etc.).
• Understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG) and performance optimization.
