** Job Description
** The Broadcast Media IP Engineer is responsible for the implementation, operation, and optimization of IP-based media systems across cloud-native and traditional broadcast environments. This role focuses on real-time video workflows and supports the end-to-end lifecycle of live and linear content—from ingest and processing through transport and playout—ensuring reliable, low-latency, and high-quality execution.
As an experienced individual contributor, this role operates with moderate autonomy, contributing to the design, deployment, and continuous improvement of scalable, IP-centric media systems while collaborating with senior engineers and cross-functional teams.
** Key Responsibilities
**** Cloud & Broadcast Media Operations
*** Contribute to the design and implementation of scalable, high-performance media systems supporting live and linear workflows across on-site, cloud, and IP-based platforms.
* Operate and optimize cloud-based media services alongside broadcast playback infrastructure, automation systems, scheduling platforms, M&C, and metadata services.
* Own day-to-day ingest, encoding, processing, and transport workflows for live and linear content across IP-based environments.
* Support playout systems and automation infrastructure to ensure continuity, synchronization, and reliability of service.
* Apply established architectures and best practices across media ingest, processing, and transport workflows.
* Implement and tune encoding, processing, and transport configurations to improve system performance, latency, and reliability.
