This is a hands-on coding role with end-to-end responsibility for frontend experiences, backend services, APIs, AI integrations, data access, cloud deployment, and production support.\nThe ideal candidate is product-minded and forward deployed. This person works directly with business users, turns ambiguous needs into working software, prototypes quickly, and then hardens successful concepts into secure, reliable, maintainable applications that deliver measurable business outcomes. This is a software development position, not an infrastructure administration, data science, or machine-learning model development role.\nHere's what you'll do:\nFull Stack AI Product Development\nDesign, code, test, deploy, and operate complete AI-enabled applications, including responsive user experiences, backend services, APIs, data access, and AI orchestration.\nBuild intuitive conversational and workflow-based interfaces that help business users understand, refine, and act on AI-generated insights.\nSet up, configure, and extend AI cowork environments that allow business users to collaborate with AI agents, enterprise knowledge, approved tools, and shared workflow context.\nOwn features end to end and produce maintainable, well-tested code suitable for enterprise production environments.\nApply sound software design, accessibility, performance, security, and usability practices across the application stack.\nApplied AI Engineering\nBuild applications using LLMs, RAG, structured generation, tool calling, agents, semantic search, summarization, classification, and intelligent workflow automation.\nDesign prompts, context assembly, model routing, validation, guardrails, fallbacks, and human review for reliable business use.\nCreate evaluation datasets and automated tests for accuracy, groundedness, user value, safety, regression, latency, and cost.\nSelect the simplest effective approach, including deterministic software or traditional analytics when an LLM is not appropriate.\nForward-Deployed Delivery\nPartner directly with Ad Sales, Operations, Product, Data, and Engineering teams to observe workflows and identify high-value opportunities.\nTranslate incomplete requirements into prototypes, test them with users, and iterate rapidly based on evidence and feedback.\nConnect technical choices to outcomes such as productivity, decision speed, quality, revenue protection, or reduced operational effort.\nSupport onboarding, adoption, documentation, training, and continuous improvement after launch.\nBackend, Data & Enterprise Integration\nDevelop scalable backend services using modern API, microservice, asynchronous processing, and event-driven patterns.\nIntegrate applications with enterprise APIs, advertising platforms, Snowflake and other data stores, identity providers, content systems, and workflow tools.\nBuild secure tool interfaces with clear contracts, authorization, validation, observability, and error handling.\nImplement caching, state management, retrieval, and data access patterns that improve quality, performance, and cost.\nProduction Engineering & Quality\nImplement CI/CD, infrastructure as code, automated testing, feature controls, monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting, and runbooks.\nDiagnose issues across browsers, frontend applications, APIs, models, retrieval, data, cloud services, and external integrations.\nApply security, privacy, responsible AI, and data-governance requirements throughout design and delivery.\nContribute reusable components, development standards, and engineering accelerators.\nHere's what you'll need:\nExperience & Education\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.\n5+ years of professional software engineering experience with substantial hands-on full stack development across frontend and backend systems.\nProven experience delivering customer-facing or internal enterprise applications from concept through production operation.\nPractical experience integrating foundation models, agents, retrieval services, and intelligent automation into production software beyond isolated demos or notebooks.\nFrontend Engineering\nStrong experience with TypeScript or JavaScript and a modern UI framework such as React or Next.js.\nExperience building accessible, responsive applications with clear state management, component design, testing, and API integration.\nAbility to create polished business workflows, not only chat interfaces.\nBackend & Cloud Engineering\nStrong proficiency in Python and frameworks such as FastAPI; experience with Node.js, Java, Go, or C# is also valuable.\nExperience designing REST or GraphQL APIs, service integrations, relational and NoSQL data stores, asynchronous processing, and distributed applications.\nHands-on experience with cloud services, containers or serverless deployment, authentication and authorization, CI/CD, testing, and observability.\nApplied AI Skills\nExperience with foundation-model APIs or managed AI platforms and frameworks such as Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, Snowflake Cortex, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, or comparable technologies.\nWorking knowledge of RAG, embeddings, vector search, tool calling, agents, context engineering, structured output, prompt management, evaluation, and guardrails.\nProficiency both using and setting up AI cowork environments for business users, including workspace configuration, role-based access, agent and tool integration, shared context, reusable workflows, and user onboarding.\nAbility to troubleshoot quality issues across prompts, context, tools, data, models, latency, and application behavior.\nCollaboration & Communication\nAbility to work directly with business users, demonstrate frequently, receive feedback constructively, and turn learning into better software.\nStrong written and verbal communication with the ability to explain decisions and tradeoffs clearly.\nHigh ownership, practical judgment, curiosity, and a bias toward delivering usable outcomes.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience in advertising, media, AdTech, MarTech, campaign operations, analytics, or other data-intensive business environments.\nExperience building workflow, analytics, decision-support, conversational BI, or operational automation products.\nExperience with AWS, Snowflake, Kubernetes, vector databases, feature flags, experimentation frameworks, and enterprise design systems.\nExperience contributing to shared platforms, component libraries, developer tooling, or reusable AI application patterns.\nPortfolio or concrete examples demonstrating ownership of frontend and backend production code. Experience limited primarily to prompt engineering, model experimentation, notebooks, analytics, or ML pipeline development does not meet the requirements of this role.\nMay require a background check due to job duties requiring routine access to DIRECTV and DIRECTV customer’s proprietary data. Qualified applicants with arrest and conviction will be considered for employment in accordance with local ordinances and state law.\nThis role requires, but is not limited to, approximately 10% travel.\nThis is a New York City, NY, based position that works both in-office (2 days/week) and remotely. #LI-Remote\nA career with us comes with big rewards:\nDIRECTV's compensation structure is designed to be market-competitive and fully supports efforts to attract and retain employees.
