VOD playback, ad insertion, DRM, and real-time WebRTC services.

adjustments, and corrective actions, following established operational procedures, including
executing mitigations and emergency changes during live incidents when customer impact
requires immediate action.
• Lead or actively contribute to live incident bridges involving customers, internal teams, and
partners.
• Provide clear, timely communication during incidents, including status updates and customer-
facing explanations.

• Use IaC as the primary mechanism for safe, auditable, and repeatable operational changes
• Collaborate with Engineering and DevOps to improve deployment reliability and operational
safety
• Validate and execute infrastructure or configuration changes through codified workflows
AI-Driven Operations & Automation.
• Leverage AI tools and automation to enhance operational efficiency and incident response.
Contribute to and use:

• AI-assisted incident triage and classification

• AI-based pattern detection across incidents
• Intelligent alert correlation and noise reduction

Use AI to:

• Generate or improve incident communications
• Accelerate troubleshooting workflows
• Identify recurring patterns and systemic issues

Pre-Event Planning & Operational Readiness
• Participate in pre-event readiness planning for critical customer events
Validate system readiness through:

• Runbook checks
• Monitoring coverage validation
• Risk identification and mitigation planning

• Define and rehearse incident response strategies for high-risk scenarios
• Collaborate with customers and internal teams to ensure smooth event execution
On-Call & 24/7 Operations
• Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation, including nights, weekends, and holidays, as part of a
global support model
• Ensure smooth handovers between shifts and regions
• Respond to critical alerts within defined SLAs for stream health, player errors, and delivery
infrastructure.
Root Cause & Continuous Improvement
• Perform or contribute to root cause analysis (RCA) for production incidents
• Document findings, corrective actions, and preventive measures
• Identify recurring issues and work with Engineering and Product teams to eliminate them
permanently
• Contribute to and improve runbooks, operational playbooks, and knowledge bases for all
OptiView products (Player, ads, live and real time streaming)
Collaboration & Engineering Feedback Loop
• Work closely with Engineering teams to escalate defects, validate fixes, and support production
deployments
• Provide feedback on system observability, tooling gaps, and operational risks
• Act as the operational voice during post-incident reviews

customer issues end-to-end.
