The Media Metadata Systems team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help design, implement and support systems that deliver content from its origination to its delivery to the SiriusXM satellite, SiriusXM streaming and Pandora platforms.
The Media Metadata Systems team is responsible for developing systems that interface with several broadcast audio systems that are both custom-built and supplied by 3rd party vendors.
