About the Role
NBC News is seeking a Full Stack Developer for its Innovation team to build core applications for next-generation production, automation, and AI-driven storytelling. This role involves end-to-end software engineering, from architecture and APIs to front-end delivery and real-time broadcast graphics, supporting live and data-intensive workflows for content creation at scale.
Responsibilities
- 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.
- Build responsive HTML-based broadcast graphics as reusable components for live television and streaming output.
- Integrate graphics templates with real-time rendering engines and drive multiple output streams from a single control source.
- Develop control applications that let editorial and production teams assemble shows and drive data-driven graphics.
- Contribute to repeatable, standards-based graphics products that scale across news and elections programming.
- Design and implement data pipelines for real-time and scheduled ingestion (financial, editorial, election).
- 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.
- 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.
- Develop intuitive, performant front-end interfaces using React, Vue, or Angular, including shared internal component libraries.
- Build reliable back-end systems in Node.js, Python, or Java, using modern API and data standards.
- Implement real-time streaming architectures and event-driven design for live and asynchronous operations.
- Work closely with editorial, design, and engineering teams to deliver cross-platform production tools.
- Communicate clearly with stakeholders of all technical levels, translating between editorial needs and engineering realities.
- Lead rapid prototyping cycles exploring new technologies and creative workflows.
- Drive operationalization of successful prototypes into robust, supported production systems.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience delivering enterprise-scale full stack applications.
- Advanced skills in front-end frameworks (React, Angular, Vue) and back-end development (Node.js, Python, Java).
- Strong knowledge of API design (REST and GraphQL), streaming data systems, and cloud architectures.
- Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP, including serverless patterns and containerized deployment using Docker and Kubernetes.
- Familiarity with AI/ML frameworks and experience integrating model-based systems into production workflows.
- External candidates may be required to attend an in-person interview with an NBCUniversal employee at one of our locations prior to a hiring decision.
