Broadcast Engineer Jobs in Arizona (NOW HIRING)

Fox Corporation is seeking a Director, Software Engineering & Media Automation to join our Direct to Consumer Platforms team. Our platform is the foundation of all Fox brands and their digital Web/Mobile/OTT properties - powering marquee events like the Super Bowl, World Series, FIFA Men's World Cup, national elections, and breaking news.

This is a leadership role at the intersection of AI, media technology, and platform engineering. You will build and lead a team that designs agentic AI systems, spec-driven automation architectures, and next-generation developer tooling for broadcast, streaming, and media asset management. You will shape how Fox's engineering organization harnesses AI - not just as a productivity aid, but as a core capability that transforms how media software is built, tested, and operated.

• Architect and build spec-driven automation frameworks tailored to media workflows - including MAM, content ingest, transcoding pipelines, broadcast operations, and live streaming infrastructure.
• Define and own AI software engineering roadmap for media and broadcast automation, evolving the organization's capabilities from AI-assisted development toward fully autonomous, agent-driven workflows.
• Evaluate and adopt emerging AI tools, models, and frameworks (e.g., Claude, OpenAI, open-source agents) and drive their integration into real-world media production and delivery systems.
• Collaborate with product, editorial, and broadcast operations teams to identify high-value automation opportunities and translate them into scalable AI-powered services.

• Lead, grow, and directly manage a team of engineers across multiple career levels - setting clear expectations, conducting regular 1:1s, managing performance, hiring and org design decisions.
• Build a high-performing team culture that balances technical excellence with speed, experimentation, and psychological safety.
• Serve as a technical bar-raiser for the broader organization - participating in design reviews, architecture refinements, and senior engineering interviews.
• Mentor engineers at all levels, helping them grow into senior and staff-level roles through structured feedback, sponsorship, and development planning.

• Design and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines to accelerate software delivery, reduce build times, and increase deployment reliability across Fox's media platform portfolio.
• Own the administration, governance, and roadmap for enterprise source control and build systems (e.g., GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Actions, GitHub Packages).
• Champion and integrate AI-powered developer tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) into engineering workflows to enhance velocity, code quality, and security.
• Partner with QA and engineering teams to build and refine test automation frameworks for media, broadcast, and streaming services.
• Implement and enforce security best practices across CI/CD pipelines, including secret management, dependency scanning, and software supply chain integrity.

• Proven track record leading and managing engineering teams of 4+ people, including hiring, performance management, and career development across multiple levels.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence technical direction and build alignment across engineering, product, and business leaders.
• Experience building and scaling teams in fast-moving, high-stakes environments (media, broadcast, live events, or adjacent industries a plus).
• Demonstrated ability to execute on a technical vision and managing the day-to-day realities of team delivery.

• Hands-on experience designing, building, or deploying systems with the use of AI agents, LLM-powered automation, or spec-driven workflow architectures.
• Deep familiarity with the modern AI tooling ecosystem - including LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI), agent frameworks, and AI-assisted developer tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex).
• A builder's mindset balanced with mature security judgment - knows where AI can and cannot be trusted in production workflows, understands the evolving attack surface it introduces, and is comfortable escalating to information security partners.
• Experience integrating AI capabilities into media technology contexts (MAM, transcoding, broadcast automation, streaming pipelines, or metadata enrichment) is a significant plus.

• Hands-on proficiency with AI development tooling and frameworks - including LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI) and AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot).
• Deep, hands-on expertise designing, securing, building, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps).
• Extensive experience with AWS architecture and services (IAM, EC2, ECS, Lambda, S3, CodeBuild/Pipeline).
• Hands-on proficiency building secure automation and tooling using JavaScript/TypeScript or equivalent languages.
• Experience working with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and Linux environments.
• Familiarity with media technology stacks: video streaming protocols (HLS, DASH), media asset management systems, broadcast infrastructure, or live event delivery platforms a plus.
