Software Engineer II

About the role

We are looking for a Junior Software Engineer to join the teams that power our content metadata platform.

• The Ingestion team builds the pipeline that pulls content from partner sources and moves it through a multi-step workflow to present data in the VIZIO ecosystem — using message-driven services and workflow orchestration.
• The Aggregation team takes that data further: it resolves and reconciles identifiers across systems, translates partner feeds into a universal model, and aggregates content into the clean, unified metadata that downstream products depend on.

In this role you will contribute to both efforts, helping content flow reliably from raw partner feeds to trusted, production-ready data.

Responsibilities

• Work alongside experienced engineers on real, customer-facing services.
• Build and maintain REST APIs and background workers organized in a clean, layered architecture (API, business logic, and data access).
• Write unit tests for the code you ship.
• Help debug and improve the data pipelines that keep our catalog accurate.
• Learn how large systems are deployed and monitored in the cloud.
• Grow your skills through code review, pairing, and our "leave the code better than you found it" culture.

Requirements

Our platform is built primarily in C# on .NET, deployed as containerized microservices to AWS. You do not need experience with all of these things. We expect you to learn on the job — but familiarity with any of the following is a plus:

• C# 12 and .NET 8 (ASP.NET Core Web APIs and background workers)
• Layered service architecture and SDK clients
• Data access with Microsoft SQL Server, Aurora PostgreSQL, and Mongo
• Messaging and orchestration with MassTransit, RabbitMQ
• REST tooling: Swagger/OpenAPI, RestSharp
• Testing with xUnit, Moq

Qualifications

Outlined below are the required minimum qualifications for this position:

• Option 1: Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, computer information systems, software engineering, or related area.
• Option 2: 3 years’ experience in software engineering or related area.

Preferred qualifications:

• Background in creating inclusive digital experiences, demonstrating knowledge in implementing Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standards, assistive technologies, and integrating digital accessibility seamlessly.
• Knowledge of accessibility best practices and experience supporting an inclusive culture.

Benefits

• Health benefits: medical, vision, and dental coverage.
• Financial benefits: 401(k), stock purchase, and company-paid life insurance.
• Paid time off: PTO (including sick leave), parental leave, family care leave, bereavement, jury duty, and voting.
• Short-term and long-term disability.
• Company discounts.

• Adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement.
• Live Better U: Walmart-paid education benefit program for full-time and part-time associates, covering tuition, books, and fees for high school completion, bachelor's degrees, English Language Learning, and short-form certificates. Eligibility requirements apply.

The amount of PTO you receive depends on your job classification and length of employment and will meet or exceed the requirements of paid sick leave laws, where applicable.
