Senior Software Development Engineer, Backend

Fox Corporation is home to industry-leading brands including FOX News Media, FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment, FOX Television Stations, Tubi Media Group, and FOX One, our recently launched direct-to-consumer (DTC) platform.

Across our portfolio, we build and operate large-scale digital platforms that serve millions of users globally. Our teams combine innovative technology, deep data insights, and world-class content to deliver highly personalized, reliable, and scalable consumer experiences across web, mobile, and connected TV platforms.

As a Software Engineer in the Backend/API team, you will be responsible for building and operating scalable, resilient backend systems that power multiple consumer-facing platforms. You will work on high-throughput, low-latency services and APIs that are critical to core product experiences.

This role requires engineers who take end-to-end ownership - from understanding the problem and designing systems to implementing, deploying, and operating them in production. We are looking for strong backend engineers who can work independently, make sound technical decisions, and deliver reliable systems without the need for constant hand-holding.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.

4-6 years of experience building backend software systems in production environments.

Strong programming skills in one or more backend languages, preferably Golang or Java.

Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and their application in backend and distributed systems.

Experience designing and building distributed systems with a focus on scalability, availability, and reliability.

Hands-on experience working with cloud-based systems (e.g., AWS or equivalent).

Experience working with databases and data stores (relational and/or NoSQL) and an understanding of data modeling and performance trade-offs.

Practical understanding of modern AI systems, including large language models (LLMs), and how to integrate AI capabilities into backend software.

Familiarity with using AI to build, enhance, or operate software systems (e.g., LLM-based APIs, prompt-driven workflows, automation, developer productivity).

Ability to work independently, take ownership, and deliver systems end-to-end with minimal guidance.
