Your New Role
CNN is seeking a Sr. Software Engineer to serve as a technical authority for CNN’s Multiplatform SDK ecosystem — the shared foundation powering application capabilities across CNN’s digital products. You will define and execute the architecture for reusable SDKs and telemetry systems that enable consistent, reliable, and scalable data collection across web, mobile, and connected TV platforms.
Your work will power audience analytics, personalization, advertising, and business intelligence for millions of users daily across CNN.com, the CNN mobile app, and connected TV experiences. You will design and maintain highly performing SDKs that standardize event collection, abstract platform complexity, and ensure high-quality data flows into CNN’s broader data platform. You will drive architecture decisions, establish engineering standards, and mentor engineers across the organization. If you thrive on building highly reusable systems, solving cross-platform engineering challenges, and creating reliable telemetry infrastructure at scale — this is the role.

Contribute to the evolution of event schemas, instrumentation standards, and SDK capabilities to improve data quality and consistency across platforms
Participate in technical design discussions and contribute to architectural decisions for client-side telemetry and platform integrations
Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance while contributing to a strong engineering culture
Drive best practices around code quality, testing, documentation, observability, and maintainability
Support CI/CD workflows, release management, and versioning strategies for shared multiplatform libraries

Strong understanding of event-driven architectures, client-side telemetry pipelines, batching, retries, offline persistence, and reliable event delivery patterns
Experience integrating with analytics systems, identity services, consent/privacy frameworks, feature flags, or advertising technologies
Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing strategies, release workflows, and observability tooling
Preferred
Experience building analytics or telemetry SDKs across web, iOS, Android, and/or connected TV platforms
Experience with streaming and event-driven architectures such as Kafka, Kinesis, or similar event ingestion system
