OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

Fox Corporation

Under the FOX banner, we produce and distribute content through some of the world’s leading and most valued brands, including: FOX News Media, FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment, FOX Television Stations and Tubi Media Group. We empower a diverse range of creators to imagine and develop culturally significant content, while building an organization that thrives on creative ideas, operational expertise and strategic thinking.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Supercast powers premium subscriptions for the world’s top podcasts and creators. We help creators like Huberman Lab, This American Life, Peter Attia, and My Favorite Murder build direct relationships with their audiences and generate recurring revenue through exclusive content and community.

Following our recent acquisition by Red Seat Ventures (a Fox Corp. company), Supercast is entering a new phase of product investment and expansion. Building on our success with podcast subscriptions, we’re evaluating a broader toolkit for podcast-first creators, as well as new ways for creators to engage and monetize their audiences.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking to expand our team with a Senior Software Engineer, reporting to the VP of Engineering, to help shape this next chapter. You’ll work closely with Product and Design teams to build the experiences used by thousands of creators and hundreds of thousands of paying subscribers. Your work will define how creators launch, grow, and run subscription businesses on Supercast and how fans discover and engage with the content they love.

We believe the next generation of media companies will be creator-led, and our mission is to build the operating system for creator-led media businesses.

A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop solutions at all levels of the Supercast stack. You don't need to be an expert everywhere, but you should be comfortable creating a view and implementing controllers and models.

• Manage tasks and help mentor and coach intermediate and Junior Software Developers.

• Collaborate with other departments and customers to define requirements for projects, set success criteria, and conduct A/B tests and other experiments to discover the best way to build new features.

• Design user experiences using a design framework - we don’t expect you to be a designer, but you should be comfortable with writing your own copy and mapping out user flows. We have a design framework that you can apply to your solutions.

• Work with your team on defining and meeting adoption and success criteria, and keeping with your project until you hit them.

Tech Stack

• Ruby on Rails

• Hotwire (Stimulus, Turbo)

• Rspec for testing

• Hotwire Native for iOS and Android applications.

• AWS EC2 via Cloud66

• AWS RDS Postgres

• AWS Elasti Cache Redis

• Bunny.net

• Notion for collaboration and planning

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• You’re more interested in building complete experiences than working strictly in the backend, and you seek out roles where you interact with other departments and customers regularly.

• 5+ years of experience working as a software engineer, ideally in a startup or small team environment.

• Experience at all levels of a typical web stack - notably Javascript and front end skills, Ruby on Rails, and relational databases (we use Postgres, but any SQL-based database is great!)

• Experience with Hotwire and View Components

• You use AI thoughtfully in your development workflow - we’re not looking for AI slop, but you can use AI as a tool to maximize your productivity.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE WORKING AT SUPERCAST

• You’ll be directly shaping how podcast creators build sustainable businesses with their audiences, working directly with some of the most influential voices in podcasting.

• Following our acquisition by Red Seat Ventures (a Fox Corp. company), we’re investing heavily in product and expanding the platform to support the next generation of creator tools.

• You’ll join a tight-knit, ambitious team building what we believe will become the operating system for podcast-first creator businesses.

• Good ideas get shipped quickly. You’ll have real ownership over what gets built.

• We’re a remote-first company with most team members across North America (your primary work window should be Pacific

• Eastern Time).To be updated
