This position focuses on developing the "glue" between platforms-workflow engines, microservices, APIs, data stores, and observability-so FOX can reliably deploy, scale, and support AI-assisted media capabilities across production and distribution environments. This role works closely with multiple engineering teams and operational stakeholders to translate user needs into repeatable, governed workflows (POC pilot production) using modern software engineering practices and cloud-native delivery patterns. You will help FOX standardize how workflows are defined, validated, released, and monitored-especially for high-value AI use cases such as transcription, dubbing, highlights, video/audio analysis, and generative media services., Workflow Orchestration & Platform Services * Design and implement workflow orchestration for media and AI pipelines (job definitions, routing rules, scheduling constraints, approvals, retries, and error handling) * Build and maintain platform services that standardize how workflows are executed and governed across environments (dev/test/prod) * Develop reusable workflow templates, SDKs, and integration patterns that accelerate delivery and reduce one-off implementations * Implement policy and guardrails for workload isolation (e.g., real-time vs batch vs experimental) in partnership with platform/SRE teams AI Model Selection, Training & Lifecycle Enablement * Partner with AI/ML stakeholders to evaluate model options (build vs buy vs fine-tune), including selection criteria such as quality, latency, cost, and operational complexity * Support model implementation into production workflows, including packaging, versioning, deployment patterns, rollback strategies, and reproducibility * Contribute to model lifecycle practices such as dataset/labeling requirements, evaluation/benchmarking metrics, A/B testing approaches, and periodic model refresh processes * Help operationalize model governance: traceability of model versions, model performance monitoring in production, and release notes tied to workflow versions Quality Gates, Validation & Operational Readiness * Implement workflow-level validation and acceptance checks (input validation, output verification, automated quality gates) to ensure reliable, repeatable outcomes * Define "production-ready" criteria for workflows (telemetry, error handling, documentation, runbooks, support handoffs) and enforce them through automation * Partner with operations and reliability teams to ensure workflows can be supported in a 24/7 environment, with clear escalation paths and on-call expectations where appropriate Software Development, CI/CD & Observability * Build production-grade services with strong engineering discipline: code reviews, automated testing, secure coding practices, and documentation * Implement and improve CI/CD pipelines for workflow services (build, test, deploy, promote, rollback) in partnership with platform teams * Ensure services are observable and supportable (structured logs, metrics, tracing, dashboards, and operational runbooks) * Perform root cause analysis and automate repetitive operational tasks to reduce toil and improve reliability Collaboration & Client Outcomes (Internal + External) * Work across engineering teams and stakeholders (Broadcast, Video, Monitoring & Control, Networking, Media Infrastructure) to define requirements, evaluate alternatives, and deliver the best solution for FOX workflows * Translate user and operator requirements into clear user stories and acceptance criteria ("As a user, I need...") * Support internal clients (MCR/operations, production engineering, distribution teams) and, when applicable, improve FOX's ability to support external partners through better reliability, visibility, automation, and repeatable delivery patterns ## Related Videos -
