The Sr. Production Engineer joins the team to manage live event production, technical operations, and platform engineering for high-visibility company broadcasts. This role involves executing live streams for internal events, configuring encoders, managing CDN distribution, and performing real-time troubleshooting of audio, video, and captioning systems. The candidate will also handle pre-production planning, post-event analysis, and infrastructure management to ensure scalable delivery. Key technical requirements include proficiency with streaming protocols like RTMP, NDI, and SRT; knowledge of H.264/H.265 codecs; experience with hardware such as Teradek and LiveU; and skills in Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automation. The role solves the challenge of delivering seamless, multi-channel live broadcasts across global networks while maintaining high reliability through proactive monitoring, incident management, and the development of automated workflows to optimize the overall streaming architecture.

What you'll do

  • Execute live streaming operations for company-wide events including all-hands meetings and executive communications.
  • Manage and monitor broadcast infrastructure, including encoders, streaming servers, CDN distribution, and player deployment.
  • Design streaming architectures and technical run-of-show documents for complex multi-location events.
  • Perform real-time troubleshooting of audio/video sync, captioning, and network issues during live broadcasts.
  • Manage the full lifecycle of video content including post-event processing, metadata tagging, and VOD publishing.
  • Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation to provide incident management and root cause analysis for critical streaming failures.
  • Develop scripts and automation tools to streamline repetitive tasks like channel creation and reporting.
  • Establish standard operating procedures (SOPs) and monitoring dashboards to improve system reliability and scalability.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in live event production, broadcast engineering, streaming operations, or related technical roles.
  • Hands-on experience with professional streaming platforms and real-time troubleshooting during high-stakes live productions.
  • Deep understanding of video streaming protocols (RTMP, NDI, SRT), video codecs, and encoding hardware/software.
  • Proficiency in CDN concepts, network troubleshooting, bandwidth optimization, and monitoring tools.
  • Basic scripting and automation skills using Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
  • Experience with enterprise-scale AV system design and multi-camera productions (preferred).
  • Knowledge of live captioning systems, ECDN technologies, and advanced programming for automation (preferred).
  • CTS and QSC certifications, AI knowledge background, and experience with Salesforce products (preferred).
