About the Role

The AI Systems group builds AI-powered applications and systems that solve real problems for CNN's audiences and internal teams. Your role as a Senior Software Engineer will involve designing, building, and operating AI-powered applications and the platform capabilities that support them, partnering with ML engineers, editorial and product stakeholders, and platform engineers to ship features that improve CNN's user experience and internal productivity.

Responsibilities

Author, test, review, and optimize production-quality code, following best practices for IaC, version control, and continuous delivery with minimal oversight
Be a subject matter expert in one or more AI Systems production systems, independently shipping high-quality features and helping others understand complex technical domains
Design components and systems architecture, driving technical decisions that create functional-level impact
Integrate ML models and foundation models into production applications with appropriate guardrails, monitoring, and evaluation
Solve business problems with simple and straightforward solutions, proactively defining problems and driving clarity for the team
Drive operational excellence — building highly available, low-latency, and efficient software while thinking long-term about code health, monitoring, alerting, and documentation
Partner with editorial, product, and ML stakeholders to translate requirements into reliable AI features
Communicate effectively across audiences — technical documentation, code reviews, design reviews, and interactions with stakeholders and adjacent teams
Embrace failure as a learning opportunity — use research and experimentation to choose solutions that meet company goals, moving autonomously from proof-of-concept to production

Requirements

5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical field (or 3+ years with a Master's degree)
Strong backend engineering experience with data-intensive applications at web scale
