How you'll make an impact:

The Media Metadata Systems team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help design, implement and support systems that deliver content from its origination to its delivery to the SiriusXM satellite, SiriusXM streaming and Pandora platforms.

The Media Metadata Systems team is responsible for developing systems that interface with several broadcast audio systems that are both custom-built and supplied by 3rd party vendors. The team works with architects and operators to determine where gaps in the system are and what tools and systems need to be built to fill in those gaps. As part of the team, you would contribute your opinions on what and how to build these solutions.

As these systems get built and deployed, you will continue to work closely with the operators of these systems to provide support, help identify issues and respond to requests for new features.

The systems that the Media Metadata Systems team builds exist both on-premise in our broadcast data centers, and in the cloud. The ability to work productively in both areas is crucial to the role.

The systems developed by the Media Metadata team are part of the initial stages of the pipeline that feeds content and data produced by our content team out to our customers via satellite or internet delivery. Developing and supporting our systems has a significant impact on the SiriusXM and Pandora product offerings. Just about every piece of content passes through the team's systems on its journey to our customers.

What you'll do
  • Work as part of a team with years of experience in developing audio and broadcast systems
  • Innovate to build solutions that will form the backbone of our products
  • Collaborate with engineers and operators from across several different organizations
  • Provide a fresh perspective on complex problems
  • Author and provide feedback on technical proposals and root cause analyses.
  • Contribute to architecture and code reviews with your colleagues
  • Work with leaders and project managers to provide estimates on development work

What you'll need:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software, or comparable field of study, and/or equivalent work experience
  • 5-7 years of professional experience
  • Experience with Datadog
  • Familiarity with automated testing tools & processes
  • Experience with Kubernetes & Docker
  • Experience with AWS in a production setting, preferably having leveraged offerings for compute, databases, storage, containers, and serverless technologies, including:
  • LocalStack
  • CloudWatch
  • Cloud Development Framework
  • Experience with designing and operating highly available, resilient systems
  • Experience in developing API design, system design, and object-oriented design.
  • Experience with the software development lifecycle, including the use of source control, CI/CD, and various testing approaches.
  • Experience with Javascript and node.js
  • Willingness to take ownership of new projects and drive them to completion.
  • Ability to build technical and functional documentation for tasks, ensuring it is always up to date and comprehensible to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Persistent sense of curiosity to understand why something is and needs to be.
  • Accountability and a sense of extreme ownership that doesn't end after the system is deployed to production
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Must have legal right to work in the U.S.
