Software Engineer, App Developer - Mobile​/Web, Full Stack Developer

Major League Baseball is looking for a Software Engineer to join a cross-platform engineering group that ships the Mobile MLB App and MLB.TV Connected TV experience, with a focus on streaming and subscriptions. The role involves working in small, outcome-driven squads that rotate focus based on business priorities, where success means shipping reliable, high-quality user experiences while maintaining platform parity with other CTV stacks and aligning with a shared design system.

The engineer will collaborate closely with product, design, QA, and partner teams across the organisation.

• 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 behaviour 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 the 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

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong experience building and shipping iOS applications in production (Swift; UIKit and/or SwiftUI)
• Solid understanding of mobile architecture, networking, state management, and 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

• 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
• Experience strategically applying AI tools for high-impact engineering tasks, such as generating unit tests, documentation, and managing technical debt/refactoring

• Boulder, Colorado office
• New York City office

• $120,000 - $155,000 Base salary, plus bonus; actual compensation contingent upon work experience, education, skills, and other factors MLB considers relevant

• Competitive benefits package
• Company 401K contribution
• Paid time off and holidays
• Paid parental leave
• Access to free tickets to baseball games and MLB.TV
• Discounts at the MLB Store
• Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)
• Onsite/online training and development programs
• Tuition reimbursement
• Disability benefits (short term and long term)
• Life and accidental death insurance
• Pet insurance

Employees who are most successful at MLB take initiative, identify problems and provide solutions, and always put the Team first.
