Software Engineer, Sign-Up Flow Optimization

We’ve got the brands, we’ve got the stars, we’ve got the power to achieve our mission to entertain the planet – now all we’re missing is YOU! Becoming a part of Paramount means joining a team of passionate people who not only recognize the power of content but also enjoy a touch of fun and uniqueness. Together, we co‑create moments that matter – both for our audiences and our employees – and aim to leave a positive mark on culture.

We are seeking a Software Engineer (IC2) to join the Sign‑Up Flow pod. Your mission is to implement and scale the ML systems that optimize how we personalize and optimize our P+ sign‑up flow and Pluto TV registration flows. You will own the development of specific features and components within our sign‑up/registration flow pipelines.

In this role, you will be expected to deliver autonomously on defined technical problems, ranging from bandit‑based reward signals to visual optimization of the sign‑up/registration flows. You will work in a high‑velocity environment where visual and attention optimization are the primary goals, requiring you to balance technical quality with delivery speed.

• Own the Visual Gateway:
  Deliver the features that establish how users sign‑up for and convert to paying users on our apps.
• Drive Systematic Quality:
  Improve the reliability and velocity of our experimentation systems, ensuring our visual tests are statistically sound and performant.
• Scale Discovery:
  Build the components that allow us to personalize the "look and feel" of the sign‑up/registration flows.

• Feature Ownership:
  Design and implement specific solutions for Multi‑Armed Bandit (MAB) systems in the sign‑up/registration flows.
• Independent Delivery:
  Own the end‑to‑end implementation of defined tasks, from data ingestion to production deployment, with moderate autonomy.
• System Optimization:
  Proactively identify and fix bottlenecks in team systems to improve quality, reliability, or engineering velocity.
• Collaborative Quality:
  Participate actively in design and code reviews, providing constructive feedback and ensuring high technical standards within your scope.
• Data‑Driven Execution:
  Set up and monitor online experiments (A/B tests and bandit rollouts) to measure the impact of presentation features on user engagement.

• 3+ years of experience in backend software engineering or distributed systems.
• Strong proficiency in Python and experience building and scaling production APIs.
• Experience with asynchronous messaging, queues, and background workers.
• Solid knowledge of SQL and data modeling for high‑volume metadata systems.
• Proven ability to own features autonomously and deliver clean, maintainable code.

• Familiarity with Cloud Architecture (GCP preferred) and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).
• Experience or strong interest in Video/Media Processing (encoding, FFmpeg, or metadata standards).
• Basic knowledge of ML Integration and how to serve model outputs via APIs.
• Experience working with Agentic workflows or complex service orchestration.

• Deliver Independently:
  Successfully design and launch a new orchestration component that improves the reliability of the sign‑up flow pod.
• Consistent Delivery:
  Maintain a high velocity of feature ship‑dates with minimal post‑launch escalations.
• Improve Team Systems:
  Implement a measurable improvement to the pod’s experimentation or deployment workflow.
• Technical Growth:
  Demonstrate the ability to oversee increasingly ambiguous problems within the Presentation domain without step‑by‑step guidance.
