You will collaborate with broadcast engineering, IT, and operation teams to ensure reliable and scalable infrastructure for real-time media workflows, powering real-time video, audio, and data transport for live contents.

A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design, deploy, and maintain IP-based broadcast networks supporting uncompressed media transport and real-time workflows.

• Collaborate with the SDN and Infrastructure teams to develop deterministic, low-latency, and resilient network solutions for live production.

• Evaluate and optimize current network architecture for scalability, performance, and timing accuracy.

• Lead troubleshooting and root cause analysis for complex media and IP transport issues across multiple facilities.

• Partner with internal stakeholders and external vendors to integrate new media networking and orchestration technologies.

• Implement and manage network automation and configuration management tools, including Ansible and Arista CloudVision (Arista Validated Design).

• Perform capacity planning, multicast management, and QoS optimization for real-time media applications.

• Maintain system resilience and uptime through proactive monitoring, failover validation, and firmware lifecycle management.

• Create and maintain comprehensive network documentation, including topology diagrams, configuration details, and change control records.

• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to operations staff.

• Minimum 10 years of experience designing and supporting large-scale, mission-critical IP networks.

• Strong understanding of broadcast and media transport over IP environments.

• Hands-on experience with Arista switching platforms and modern data center network architectures.

• Deep knowledge of multicast routing, QoS, and synchronization technologies (e.g., PTP).

• Proficiency in automation and orchestration frameworks such as Ansible and Python.

• Experience with spine-leaf architectures, SDN, and VXLAN/EVPN-based designs.

• Excellent analytical and troubleshooting skills, with experience using tools such as Wireshark.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in live production environments.

• Demonstrated ability to mentor and share technical expertise across teams.

• Experience working in media, broadcast, or live production environments.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field.

• Relevant industry certifications such as Arista ACE or equivalent.
