Job description

AMC Networks needs a Civil Engineer in WA who can argue passionately about gRPC, then commit to whatever the team decides. The appeal is layered — $98,000 - $136,000, a temporary rhythm, technology ownership, and an AMC Networks crew that backs bold calls.

Key Responsibilities

• Apply Laravel and Swift to solve fun-loving engineering challenges
• Scale AMC Networks's Git services from Renton pilot to WA-wide rollout
• Refine and maintain microservices that support AMC Networks customers in Renton, WA
• Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale
• Ship the data-honest Team Leadership features that move AMC Networks's technology roadmap forward
• Ship Swift experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks

What You'll Bring

• The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
• Flexibility to adapt your approach as business needs evolve
• 5 years that taught you which corners can be cut
• The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
• Clarity of thought that shows up in tidy documentation
• Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal oversight
• Demonstrated capacity to mentor or support mid-level teammates

AMC Networks exists for one stubborn reason: the technology tools everyone settled for were never good enough, so we rebuilt them from Renton, WA. We believe great Kafka work comes from people who feel safe to experiment and occasionally fail.

We hand you $98,000 - $136,000, a growth plan, a mentor, and benefits, then let you flex your week to fit Renton the way you like.

This role is in active recruitment, with a target start date just ahead.
