Description

About JWX (former JWP Connatix): JWX’s mission is to provide technology that empowers media businesses to connect their content with consumers across every platform. We help publishers transform content into multi-format experiences, reach audiences wherever attention moves, and strengthen monetization in a fragmented landscape. As part of the broader ecosystem, JWX also supports streaming companies and advertisers with solutions built for how modern media is distributed and consumed. Our video players are embedded directly on publisher sites, including Accuweather, Axel Springer, Dotdash Meredith, McClatchy, Penske Media Co., and more. We work with leading brands and agencies including American Express, Citi, Dentsu, Mars, UM, and more helping them target ads against our publishers’ video content. We power streaming for over 2,000 blue-chip media companies, including 80% of the top 25 Comscore US publishers. As the largest independent global video network across CTV and OLV, we reach over 1B unique users and deliver 30B+ combined video plays and ad impressions every month. The Platform Engineering Team: Platform Engineering at JWX builds the internal platforms, golden pathways, and self-service capabilities that let product engineering teams build and ship code safely and quickly. We’re a globally distributed group of engineers working across multiple countries, partnering closely with teams across the company to improve reliability, scalability, and developer productivity. The Opportunity: We’re looking for a strong software engineer to join Platform Engineering and help us build and maintain a code-first Internal Developer Platform. Our platform supports infrastructure used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide and delivers petabytes of content daily—so the systems you build will have real, visible impact at global scale. This is a role for someone who wants to build products for engineers: APIs, tools, automation, libraries, and workflows that make the “right way” the easiest way. As a Platform Engineer, you will: Build developer platforms as products: design, implement, and maintain internal services, tools, and workflows that enable engineering teams to deliver software safely and consistently. Take a code-first approach to infrastructure: develop and evolve infrastructure automation and deployment systems (think: CI/CD building blocks, deployment orchestration, environment provisioning, platform APIs/CLIs). Build and operate cloud and Kubernetes platform capabilities with an emphasis on automation, repeatability, and guardrails Measure and improve reliability through instrumentation, observability, and platform-level standards. Partner with engineering teams to understand friction points, then turn those needs into reusable platform capabilities. Participate in planning, code reviews, architectural discussions, and mentorship in a collaborative, high-autonomy team. Join an occasional after-hours support rotation (approximately once every 7 weeks). What we’re looking for: Proven software engineering experience and proficiency in one or more of: Python, Go, Java, Rust, and/or .NET(including debugging and optimizing production code). Experience implementing and supporting large, internet-facing distributed systems, ideally in Kubernetes environments Experience operating and debugging cloud-based stacks (AWS preferred; other major clouds also relevant). Strong fundamentals in infrastructure-as-code and automated configuration/automation (e.g., Terraform/CloudFormation and related tooling). A track record of building maintainable, stable, scalable systems and treating internal tooling like real software products. Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset—able to drive technical discussions across teams. Bonus points: Experience building “platform primitives” (self-service workflows, templates, golden paths, internal portals/CLIs, policy/guardrails). Familiarity with networking concepts (routing, firewalls, VPNs). Experience with SQL/NoSQL/big data systems. Open-source contributions or maintaining your own projects. B.S. in a computer-related field. Check out our website and social channels: JWX LinkedIn Instagram X We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, and/or disability status.
