Broadcast Media IP Engineer
Job DescriptionThe 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 ResponsibilitiesCloud & Broadcast Media OperationsContribute 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.---System Implementation & MaintenanceDeploy, configure, and support video processing systems—including encoders, transcoders, and processing services—across cloud and hybrid environments (e.g., AWS Media Services, FFmpeg, Elemental, Harmonic, CommScope).Ensure reliable, low-latency transport of video streams across IP-based contribution and distribution networks over fiber, cloud, and IP infrastructure.Support integration between cloud-native media workflows and traditional broadcast systems, enabling interoperability across hybrid environments.Leverage APIs, messaging frameworks, and automation tools to improve workflow efficiency, repeatability, and operational scalability.Contribute to automation and metadata-driven workflows supporting media lifecycle and system orchestration.Follow architectural standards and partner with senior engineers to improve system scalability, resiliency, and performance.---Monitoring, Transport & TroubleshootingMonitor system health, availability, and performance across on-site, cloud, and IP-based broadcast environments.Ensure signal integrity, timing accuracy, and consistent quality of service across IP transport and playout paths.Support real-time media transport workflows and adaptive streaming processes where applicable.Assist in managing encryption and content protection mechanisms across IP-based systems.Monitor transport streams, synchronization, and metadata, ide...
