  • 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, identifying and resolving issues impacting quality and reliability.
  • Respond to incidents, perform structured troubleshooting, and contribute to root cause analysis and corrective actions.
  • Collaborate with engineering, operations, and network teams to resolve issues impacting media workflows and system performance.

Cross-Team Collaboration

  • Partner with broadcast operations, IP/network engineering, cloud infrastructure, and product teams to support and improve media workflows.
  • Participate in system testing, QA validation, and deployment of media platform changes.
  • Work with vendors and partners to troubleshoot issues, validate integrations, and enhance platform capabilities.

Compliance & Quality
