Major League Baseball is looking for a Software Engineer to join a
cross-platform engineering group that ships our Mobile MLB App and MLB.TV
Connected TV experience focused on Streaming and Subscriptions.
You will work in small, outcome-driven squads that rotate focus based on
business priorities. Success means shipping reliable, high-quality user
experiences while keeping platform parity with our other CTV stacks and aligning
with our shared design system with other feature delivery teams. You will
collaborate closely with product, design, QA, and partner teams across the
organization.
This position can be based out of our Boulder, Colorado or New York City office
locations. Please be sure to select the appropriate office for which you wish to
apply in the application.
Responsibilities
* Design, build, test, and ship features on multiple surfaces with emphasis on
media playback and subscription flows
* Partner with engineers on other platforms to deliver consistent behavior and
shared contracts (APIs, analytics, entitlements, UX rules)
* Contribute to code quality, observability, and release readiness (crash
reduction, performance, feature flags, rollback-friendly delivery)
* Participate in squad planning, estimation, and retrospectives; occasionally
serve as mission tech lead for a focused initiative
* Integrate with our design library and token-based UI patterns; raise gaps
early with design and platform owners
* Review code, mentor peers, and improve engineering practices within the team

error handling
* Experience collaborating in cross-functional teams (product, design, QA) with
clear ownership and communication
* Comfort working in fast release cycles with testing, monitoring, and
incremental rollout practices
* Pragmatic approach to tradeoffs: clarity, maintainability, and user impact
over perfection
Strongly preferred
* Experience with tvOS / Apple TV (focus engine, remote interactions, TV-safe
UX patterns)
* Background in video streaming (players, playback lifecycle, DRM-adjacent
workflows, QoE) and/or subscriptions (purchase, restore, entitlements,
paywalls)
* Familiarity with analytics instrumentation and experiment-friendly feature
delivery
* Experience adopting or contributing to a shared design system (components,
tokens, accessibility standards)
* Exposure to Android / Android TV / Fire TV or willingness to learn
cross-platform parity practices
* Strong focus on architectural intent, system design, and code verification
guardrails when overseeing AI-generated implementations

such as generating unit tests, documentation, and managing technical
debt/refactoring
