• Implement and maintain standards for software, system and environment architecture to meet enterprise level requirements for redundancy, security, and performance.
• Collaborate closely with meteorologists, weather producers, creative services, engineering, and newsroom teams to design and execute solutions.
• Troubleshoot, support, and resolve technical issues in fast-paced, deadline-driven, live broadcast settings, including breaking news and severe weather coverage.
• Provide technical training and support to colleagues using AR/VR tools in production environments across CBS Stations.
• Contribute to ongoing workflow, testing, and pipeline improvements
• Operate successfully in a deadline driven, live broadcast environment
• Participate in cross-team initiatives spanning News, Weather and Special Coverage

• Proficiency in Unreal Engine development, including Blueprinting familiarity with other AR/VR platforms and interfaces.
• Experience with motion tracking systems and virtual camera workflows.

• Knowledge of 3D modeling software suites, such as Blender and emerging applications.
• Working knowledge of IT Systems, Networking, and REST APIs
• Deep practical knowledge of SCRUM, AGILE and DRY Software Development principles
• Proficiency developing software in REACT, Golang, C++
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to collaborate across technical, creative, and editorial teams with evolving priorities.
• BA/BS degree or equivalent professional experience.
