Job Description

It takes powerful technology to connect our brands and partners with an audience of 1 billion. Nearly half of Verizon Media employees are building the code and platforms that help us achieve that. Whether you're looking to write mobile app code, engineer the servers behind our massive ad tech stacks, or develop algorithms to help us process 4 trillion data points a day, what you do here will have a huge impact on our business-and the world. Want in? As Verizon's media unit, our brands like Yahoo, TechCrunch and HuffPost help people stay informed and entertained, communicate and transact, while creating new ways for advertisers and partners to connect. With technologies like XR, AI, machine-learning, and 5G, we're transforming media for tomorrow, too. We're creators and coders, dreamers and doers creating what's next in content, advertising and technology.

A Little About Us

Verizon Media is a global media and technology company with offices in over 27 countries and a goal of 2 billion consumers by 2020. Our brands include Yahoo, AOL, HuffPost, and Tumblr with Yahoo! being number one in News, Sports and Finance. We're looking for someone to join us on the Publishing and Shared Tech team where we build the tools that enable our brands to deliver engaging content to consumers across 175 countries.

A Little About The Job

You'll be on a geographically distributed team which integrates with other teams across the company. You'll be working to rebuild our older Java application onto a new internal platform built on top of Jersey and hosted on Kubernetes. The product is the back end API for Verizon Media's editorial content curation tool. We build the integration points that allow editors to edit articles, create slideshows, upload videos, send push notifications, and much more. When editorial teams want to build a new mobile app, our product is the go to tool for creating content. We're looking for an engineer who wants to help rebuild our API.

We expect you to bring great written and verbal communication skills and we will provide the technology to keep you connected to the rest of the team. Your typical day will involve collaboratively documenting task requirements, writing code and opening pull requests, getting on video conference calls to participate in team code reviews and informational meetings, and releasing shiny new features into production.
