Junior Python Developer Jobs in Henderson, NV (NOW HIRING)

Software Engineering in a Live Broadcast Environment (On-Site)

Roberts Communications Network (RCN) develops technology that supports the global horse racing industry. Our systems support live video streaming, broadcast production, and other mission-critical operations connecting racetracks and media platforms worldwide.

From our state-of-the-art broadcast facility in Henderson, Nevada, we build and operate software used in environments where timing, reliability, and accuracy matter. This is a full-time, in-person position at our Henderson facility.

Every day presents different technical challenges. You may be integrating systems with racetracks around the world, modernizing existing applications, developing tools that help monitor and control the flow of live video, or building new internal and external tools used by our employees, customers, and industry partners.

We are looking for a Software Engineer who enjoys solving challenging engineering problems—not simply implementing tickets. You will help modernize existing systems while developing new applications, services, and tools that support live broadcast operations and technology used throughout the horse racing industry.

About the Role

RCN is seeking a versatile Software Engineer who can combine hands-on technical execution with thoughtful technical leadership.

In this role, you will write clean, production-ready code while helping shape technical direction, define system architecture, and improve our internal development workflows. You will own features from concept through deployment, work with cross-functional stakeholders to clarify requirements, and make practical technical decisions that support both immediate needs and long-term business objectives.

This is an opportunity to build software that interacts with real-world systems and operates under live, time-sensitive conditions.

What You’ll Do

Build and deliver: Design, develop, test, and maintain high-quality, scalable, and secure applications and services.

Architect and design: Contribute to system architecture, API design, database schemas, and technical decisions that support future growth.

Own initiatives: Lead medium-to-large features from concept through deployment while helping keep milestones and deliverables on track.

Solve complex problems: Diagnose issues across applications, infrastructure, databases, integrations, and production environments.

Mentor and collaborate: Conduct constructive code reviews and help junior and mid-level engineers grow through technical guidance and pair programming.

Improve workflows: Enhance CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, deployment processes, monitoring, and technical documentation.

Work across teams: Collaborate with software development, broadcast operations, streaming, engineering, networking, and other business groups.

What We’re Looking For

Experience: At least four years of professional software development experience.

Core technical stack: Strong proficiency in at least one of the following backend languages or frameworks:

Python and Django

Rust

PHP and Laravel

C# and .NET

.NET ecosystem familiarity: Experience with Entity Framework, Windows Forms, .NET Framework Web Forms, MVC, MAUI, Razor, or Blazor is a plus.

Database management: Solid experience working with relational and non-relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and Redis.

Containerization and tooling: Hands-on experience managing development or production environments using Docker or Kubernetes.

Application lifecycle: Experience designing, developing, testing, deploying, and supporting production applications.

Pragmatic problem-solving: Ability to debug complex system issues across the stack and optimize performance without over-engineering.

Technical decision-making: Ability to evaluate requirements and make practical trade-offs based on technical, operational, and business needs.

Communication: Clear verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts and trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.

Bonus Points

You enjoy developing unique or unconventional solutions to complex problems.

You have experience with video broadcasting, live streaming, telecommunications, wagering systems, or other media technology environments.

You have worked with real-time data, live-event systems, or other applications where uptime and timing are critical.

You have experience developing applications for connected TV platforms and devices, such as Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Roku.

You participate in open-source projects or have built internal development and operational tools.

You have experience managing cloud infrastructure using AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or automated deployment frameworks.

Excellent Benefits

Prescription plan.

Life insurance.

Employer-paid long-term disability insurance.

401(k) plan with an employer match of $0.25 for every dollar contributed, up to 4% of gross pay.
