#WeAreParamount on a mission to unleash the power of content... you in?
We've got the brands, we've got the stars, we've got thepowerto achieve our mission to entertain the planet - now all we're missing is... YOU! Becoming a part of Paramount means joining a team of passionate people who not only recognize the power of content but also enjoy a touch of fun and uniqueness. Together, we co-create moments that matter - both for our audiences and our employees - and aim to leave a positive mark on culture.
Summary
We're looking for a Lead Software Engineer who has genuinely changed how they work because of AI - someone for whom Claude, Cursor, and coding agents aren't novelties but a fundamentally different way of thinking about software development. You will build and enhance the services for our Enterprise Platform. This includes our centralized management tool, middleware, and backend services. These services oversee data access, event management, authentication, and integration with external systems.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll architect and ship software, raise the bar through code review and mentorship, and help the team transition fast without sacrificing reliability. You'll also be expected to leverage AI tooling (Claude, Cursor, etc.) as a natural part of your workflow and build AI-driven features using platforms like Vertex (Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform) and Databricks Genie. You'll write code, make architectural calls, guide a distributed team through code reviews and technical direction, and own what you ship end to end.
What You'll Do:
This is a critical role with a wide range of responsibilities, including:
Design, implement, and deploy AI-driven applications. Use Vertex AI (Gemini) and Databricks Genie. Treat output verification and failure handling as important engineering tasks. They are not just afterthoughts. Design, implement and deploy scalable and secure Golang and Node.js services Design and maintain data intensive high throughput gRPC and RESTful APIs Design APIs for event-driven systems, integrating with Kafka, Pub/Sub, or similar messaging platforms Design, build, and maintain high-performance, scalable APIs. Create front-end systems to support content, personalization, and collaboration experiences. This will help with real-time decision-making and quick responses. Define and implement API standards and best practices, including versioning, contract design, and backward compatibility Collaborate with frontend, backend, data, and platform teams to ensure clean, reliable system integrations Evolve existing content management and metadata APIs to support dynamic, personalized experiences Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and release processes to ensure safe and proficient deployments Participate in architecture discussions, RFCs, and cross-team technical initiatives Lead code reviews that go beyond style - catching subtle errors, missed edge cases, and performance traps that automated tools do not surface Mentor engineers and promote best practices in API design and system development Required Qualities / Experience:
We believe the right individual will have the following skills and experience in order to be successful in this role:
BS degree or higher in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field required 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 2+ years in a technical lead or senior engineering role 3+ years of experience developing application services using Golang, Node, and front-end frameworks/libraries like React 3+ years of experience with cloud platforms (AWS or GCP) and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes) 3+ years of experience with Linux systems or shell scripting 3+ years of experience with writing and using APIs to consume data and push data to MongoDB 3+ years of experience building highly scalable, performant and responsive web applications 2+ years of daily hands-on AI-assisted development using Claude, Cursor, or similar development tools Solid experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and data modeling Solid knowledge of event-driven architectures (Kafka, Pub/Sub, Kinesis) and asynchronous API patterns Solid skills in API design, including knowledge of REST and GraphQL. Experience with contract-first development and OpenAPI/Swagger is required, along with insight into versioning strategies. Experience designing APIs for high-scale, low-latency systems Experience integrating APIs with data pipelines, content systems, and real-time services Solid experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and API validation strategies Exemplary communication skills and ability to drive technical alignment across teams Experience integrating with external systems across a distributed enterprise environment Experience working within a globally distributed team Desired Qualities / Experience:
Experience designing agentic or multi-step AI workflows - going beyond single-model calls to context-aware, multi-stage systems on platforms such as Vertex AI or Databricks Genie Knowledge with 3rd party authorization and authentication APIs and software VOD Streaming experience Experience with multi-region or multi-tenant architectures Infrastructure as code and deployment tooling (Helm, ArgoCD, Terraform) Comfortable working with observability and monitoring platforms (Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, or similar) Experience with Redis (caching, RediSearch) and NoSQL data stores Knowledge of OAuth2/OIDC authentication and authorization patterns Experience building reliable, well-tested systems at scale - including integration testing with TestContainers and E2E testing with Playwright or similar
