Temporary Beast Code Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Studio Technology Engineer

MrBeast / Beast Industries    Greenville, NC (on-site)    Full-time  

IT Studio Production

ABOUT THE ROLE

MrBeast makes some of the most watched content on the planet, and almost none of it happens in a normal office. Our IT team supported close to 30 productions in the first half of 2026 alone: building networks on sets that didn't exist a week earlier, running livestreams with dozens of simultaneous feeds, shipping custom hardware and software to shoots, and keeping a fleet of hundreds of loaner devices moving in and out of the field.

This role sits at the center of that work. You're an experienced technologist who is genuinely comfortable on a production set, and you're the person who brings order to studio support: you take a producer's idea, figure out what it actually needs from a technology standpoint, scope it into a technical solution roadmap, and either build it yourself or coordinate the teammates who will. When cameras roll, the tech works because you were in the room early.

This is not a helpdesk position. We have a support desk that handles day-to-day tickets; you're the layer above it. You'll carry engineering-level IT operations work between productions, act as an escalation point, and use AI aggressively to make yourself and the whole team faster.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Support productions on the ground. Design, deploy, and tear down networks for shoots at permanent studios and pop-up locations. Support AV and livestream rigs, on-site shoot tech, town halls and company events, and the loaner hardware fleet (laptops, phones, iPads, satellite internet) that keeps productions running.
• Scope production technology projects. Work our production intake process alongside the team that owns it. Sit in planning meetings with ideation, creation, and production, translate creative concepts into technical requirements, timelines, and budgets, and flag risks before they become night-before fires. Write lightweight scoping docs that turn a wild idea into a buildable plan.
• Coordinate the work, not just do it. Production support is shared across the whole IT team. You'll help decide who covers what shoot, keep documentation current so no project depends on one person's memory, and make sure every engagement gets a clean handoff and closeout.
• Carry engineering-level IT operations. Own projects across identity and access (Okta, Google Workspace), endpoint management and MDM rollouts (Mac and Windows), network infrastructure, and system integrations. Serve as an escalation point above the support desk and contribute to purchasing decisions and annual IT planning.
• Use AI like a power tool. We expect agentic AI in daily use here, not as a novelty. You'll build and maintain automations and agent workflows, contribute to our AI-assisted helpdesk, and prototype internal tools for production departments with AI assistance. If a task is repetitive, your instinct should be to automate it.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 5+ years in hands-on IT, systems, or solutions engineering in a fast-moving environment, with strong fundamentals across identity, endpoints, networking, and troubleshooting under pressure.
• Real production or live-event experience. You've supported video production, broadcast, live streaming, staging, or live events, and you know what a set needs from technology before anyone asks.
• Solid networking chops. You can stand up a reliable temporary network (Wi-Fi, VLANs, firewalls, failover, DHCP/DNS/VPN) in an imperfect location on a deadline.
• Demonstrated agentic AI use. You've built something real with AI agents or automation platforms: workflows, integrations, internal tools. Chat-only usage doesn't count. Be ready to show us.
• An organizer's brain. You intake business requirements, scope work before starting it, write things down, and communicate clearly with non-technical creatives under stress.
• A strong security foundation. You build with data security, access control, and best practices in mind by default.
• Production-compatible flexibility. On-site in Greenville, NC, with shoot-driven hours and occasional travel. Productions don't keep office hours and neither does this role, though we work hard to keep the load sane and shared.

NICE TO HAVE

• Streaming and AV stacks: OBS, vMix, SRT/NDI, video switchers, multi-camera rigs, Zoom Rooms or similar conference AV.
• Enterprise tooling we use: Okta, Google Workspace admin, Slack, MDM (FleetDM, Intune or similar), enterprise networking platforms (Meter, Ubiquiti, Cisco).
• Scripting or light development (Python, JavaScript, or low-code automation platforms) to glue systems together; GitHub familiarity.
• Post-production adjacency: editing infrastructure, shared storage, render pipelines, asset management.
• Project coordination experience in a production, events, or MSP context where you owned scoping and client communication.
• Certifications (CompTIA A+/Network+, Google IT, Apple, Microsoft, Linux) are a plus, not a requirement. We care more about what you've built.

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE DIFFERENT

In the last year this team has built GPS trackers worn by contestants, custom weigh-in systems for a weight-loss show, networking for fifty simultaneous streamers, and biometrics for people surviving in the wilderness. Nobody sells an off-the-shelf product for most of what we're asked to do, which is exactly the fun of it. If you want an IT job where the requests are predictable, this is the wrong posting. If you want to solve a genuinely new technical problem every month and see the result on screen in front of hundreds of millions of people, there isn't a better seat in the industry.
