About the role

We're hiring a Live Ops Associate to support premium subscription operations, with a primary focus on building, launching, and managing subscription channels and live experiences.

The estimated annual base salary for this position is between $80,000 and $90,000 with additional equity.

  • Partner with senior engineers and cross-functional teams on high-severity issues, balancing mitigation and root-cause analysis
  • Deliver timely reports with key metrics, incidents, mitigations, and follow-ups
  • Contribute to tooling improvements; assist in testing and adoption of automation that increases operational efficiency
  • Manage customer notifications and workflow coordination to meet service-level agreements
  • Assist in training and onboarding of new Live Event staff as the team scales
We're excited if you have
  • 4+ years in the digital media space, ideally across partners of different sizes
  • 4+ years in live online video operations with fundamentals in signal acquisition (transport streams, satellite downlink and fiber) and live workflows using SCTE markers
  • Experience managing Linear Programming schedules and Linear/Broadcast EPG
  • Experience monitoring and troubleshooting CDN-related issues
  • Familiarity with metadata concepts and feed formats such as XML and JSON
  • Advanced Excel skills and experience working in custom CMS tools
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to identify, prioritize, and track critical paths to resolution
  • Cross-functional collaboration experience with technical and business stakeholders
  • Structured, self-organized approach to problem solving
  • Knowledge of OTT and live streaming platforms and technology
  • Bachelor's degree in an Engineering, or related discipline
  • Ownership mindset, collaborative working style, and ability to flex to nights/weekends as needed
Nice to Have
  • A strong understanding of DAI/ SSAI / SCTE35 / SCTE224 Tech is a plus.
  • Experience working with cloud based live streaming technologies is a plus.
  • Understanding of DRM and other content protections schemes is a plus
  • Experience with live events such as premier sporting events, fashion shows and music concerts
