Job description

Join our engineering team in Daly City and help us scale systems that handle traffic from across CA and beyond. The offer reads simply — internship, $120,000 - $169,000, 4 years, and a mid-level role where ownership is not a perk but the point.

Key Responsibilities

• Prototype proof-of-concept solutions for emerging technology requirements
• Untangle the Active Listening dependency knots that have slowed Daly City releases for months
• Chase down the Feature Engineering integration that silently drops ViacomCBS events at midnight
• Reach into legacy Apache Spark modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
• Build the A/B Testing tooling that makes every other Daly City engineer faster
• Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles
• Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end
• Walk technology stakeholders through Active Listening tradeoffs in language ViacomCBS execs grasp

What You'll Bring

• An instinct for prioritization when everything is labeled urgent
• A team player who lifts up colleagues and shares credit
• Hands-on technology experience that holds up to follow-up questions
• A CA sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market
• Familiarity with the rhythms of an empathy-led internship team

You won't find ViacomCBS on every billboard, but inside technology circles across CA, this refreshingly-candid team is well known. At ViacomCBS you can challenge your skip-level's plan and still get a thank-you for it.

The headline reads $120,000 - $169,000; the fine print is all upside, mentorship, benefits, and freedom to grow your RAG.

This minute, the AI Engineer chair sits empty and the search is on.
