ABOUT THE ROLE
The Broadcast Reliability Engineer helps build and operate the intelligent monitoring and automation platforms that power one of the nation's premier broadcasters. As part of our Broadcast Reliability team, you'll develop software, automate workflows, and leverage AI‑driven monitoring to help ensure FOX content is delivered reliably across linear broadcast, Video on Demand (VOD), streaming, and emerging media platforms.

At FOX, you will have full permission to bring your best tech game to invent and build technology that delivers a high‑quality viewer experience to millions across FOX networks, digital platforms, mobile applications, websites, and licensing partnerships.

This position supports a 24/7 broadcast operation. While the role is primarily scheduled during daytime hours, flexibility to provide evening or overnight coverage for live events and critical operational activities is expected as needed.
