OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

Fox Corporation

Under the FOX banner, we produce and distribute content through some of the world’s leading and most valued brands, including: FOX News Media, FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment, FOX Television Stations and Tubi Media Group. We empower a diverse range of creators to imagine and develop culturally significant content, while building an organization that thrives on creative ideas, operational expertise and strategic thinking.

JOB DESCRIPTION

We are seeking a Senior Backend Software Engineer to join the AdRise Data Management Platform (DMP) team. AdRise is a newly consolidated initiative between Tubi and Fox, designed to unify audience creation for ad bidding across platforms. As the connective tissue between brands, the AdRise DMP team is focused on building a data marketing platform that enables first-party audience creation, third-party data integrations, and scalable data pipelines.

In this role, you will architect and develop backend services on AWS, leveraging modern languages (Go, Java, Scala), Terraform CDK, and AWS Kinesis to build scalable and highly concurrent systems. You will also play a key role in maintaining and evolving our Infrastructure as Code (IaC) while designing robust solutions in a fast-evolving environment.

A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Architect and build backend services on AWS, focusing on high reliability, security, and scalability.

  • Develop services in Scala and support existing services written in Go and Rust.

  • Deploy and manage cloud-based infrastructure using Terraform or AWS CDK.

  • Work closely with data engineers and the Data Strategy team to design, develop, and optimize software systems that streamline data integration and enable insight into the big picture of our data ecosystem.

  • Integrate third-party data sources (e.g., Trade Desk) into the AdRise platform.

  • Optimize highly concurrent services to handle large-scale data processing.

  • Guide junior engineers through mentorship and conduct thorough code reviews.

  • Troubleshoot complex backend issues, ensuring efficiency and scalability across platforms.

  • Stay up to date with emerging cloud technologies and propose relevant improvements.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

  • Proven experience in backend development, particularly with highly concurrent services.

  • Expertise in AWS services (EC2, S3, DynamoDB, Lambda, CloudFormation).

  • Proficiency in JVM languages (Java, Scala, or Kotlin) and Go (secondary) for backend development.

  • Strong experience managing cloud infrastructure using Terraform or AWS CDK.

  • Familiarity with modern RESTful and gRPC API designs and implementations.

  • Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps best practices.

  • Ability to design solutions to ambiguous problems and collaborate on the product roadmap.

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work both independently and within a team.

NICE TO HAVE, BUT NOT A DEALBREAKER

  • Experience in advertising technology or familiarity with ad bidding platforms.

  • Background in third-party data integrations (e.g., Trade Desk, LiveRamp).

This role offers an opportunity to shape the future of audience data management at Fox and Tubi through cutting-edge cloud technologies. If you're excited about designing scalable backend systems in a fast-paced, evolving landscape—apply today!

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
