About The Role

CNN is seeking a Software Engineer II to join our Registration and Subscriptions team. This is an exciting opportunity for a developer who is passionate about building high-quality digital products that deliver both business value and exceptional user experiences.

Your ability to be flexible and traverse the full stack will be an asset to us as we evaluate the tradeoffs inherent in software engineering and experimentation.

We hold the ability to choose (or invent) the right tool for the job in high regard and consider it a critical part of our success.
