If that resonates, and you’re someone with integrity, commitment, and a strong drive to deliver great products, we’d love to hear from you.
We are reshaping live media production through innovative cloud and hybrid solutions designed for flexibility, scalability, and security. We’re seeking a Software Developer with experience in cloud-native development to join our growing team. In this role, you’ll help build the secure, scalable, and high-performance systems that power our next-generation products. It’s a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a collaborative, agile environment and embraces modern software engineering practices.
As one of the first engineers on our newly formed Cloud Platform team, you’ll help lay the technical foundation for Ross’s cloud-native future. This team is responsible for developing core shared services and infrastructure—including identity and access management (IAM), logging, monitoring, messaging, user management, and web delivery frameworks. The platform you help build will underpin our SaaS, BYOL, and managed offerings, enabling product teams across Ross to deliver robust, secure, and scalable applications on a unified platform.
Who you report to: Manager of Software Development, Cloud and DevOps.
What we offer
Ross offers competitive salaries and comprehensive health plans, as well as several perks to help you perform at your best. Some of these perks include flexible hours, generous paid time off, fitness/wellness allowance, employee share ownership program, development support and a ton of fun social activities and events! Best of all, you will be part of the Ross Video family, and we’ve got a pretty energizing environment here.
What the job is all about:
• Contribute to the design and implementation of cloud-native services and components with a focus on performance, security, resilience, and scalability.
• Assist in designing and implementing platform services, internal frameworks, and robust, well-documented APIs and microservices that support cross-product needs—such as identity and access management (IAM), observability, messaging, and web infrastructure—following established architectural patterns for both internal and external consumption.
• Apply secure development best practices, including awareness of Zero Trust principles, when building applications and system components.
• Write clean, maintainable, and testable code using software engineering best practices such as object-oriented design, design patterns, automated testing, and code reviews.
• Participate in developing prototypes, proofs of concept, and technology evaluations to support innovation and decision-making.
• Contribute to and maintain CI/CD pipelines supporting cloud-native application delivery.
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to deliver well-integrated, end-to-end solutions.
• Collaborate closely with senior engineers and mentors to grow technical skills and platform knowledge.
• Stay current with cloud-native technologies, tools, and practices; suggest relevant improvements to processes and infrastructure.
• Utilize modern debugging and profiling tools to diagnose and resolve performance or reliability issues.
• Participate in peer code reviews to maintain high standards for code quality and alignment with team goals.
• Share technical feedback and observations with the team to support effective planning and decision-making.
• Respond to and resolve internal issues related to software behavior, stability, or integration.
• Participate in onboarding activities and knowledge sharing to ensure effective collaboration.
• Participate actively in agile ceremonies and contribute to continuous improvement of team practices.
• Develop expertise in Ross Video products through hands-on engagement, documentation review, and collaboration with technical stakeholders.
Who you are:
• 1–5 years of experience in software development with exposure to cloud-native applications.
• Experience with most aspects of the software development lifecycle, including coding standards, source control, testing, and build processes.
• Exposure to cloud platforms or internal developer tools used in SaaS environments.
• Familiarity with shared service patterns and infrastructure supporting authentication, observability, and service-to-service communication.
• Experience designing and documenting software architectures using tools such as Lucidchart or similar diagramming platforms.
• Proficiency in one or more programming languages (e.g. Golang, Java, C#, Python, etc.)
• Working knowledge of object-oriented design, design patterns, and system architecture.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (preferably AWS).
• Strong debugging, performance optimization, and problem-solving skills.
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools and practices, infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform), and Kubernetes (e.g., Helm).
• Familiarity with source control and CI/CD platforms such as Git, GitLab, and Jenkins.
• Understanding or exposure to messaging systems such as Kafka and RabbitMQ.
• Experience with Redis, Elasticsearch, and document-based databases like MongoDB or CouchDB.
• Experience with secure software development and Zero Trust principles.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills in an agile team environment, with a team-first mindset.
Bonus points if you have the following:
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• AWS certifications or interest in pursuing cloud certifications, or equivalent hands-on or academic cloud experience.
• Familiarity with modern front-end frameworks such as React, with exposure to TypeScript and JavaScript.
• Exposure to high-availability SaaS architectures and production-grade systems.
• Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
• Experience with Kubernetes, Helm, and production-grade CI/CD pipelines.
• Comfortable working in both Windows and Linux environments.
• Background in media, entertainment, or broadcast industries.
