About the Role
We’re looking for a hands-on engineer with experience building live and on-demand video workflows for sports. You’ll play a key role in helping launch a new direct-to-consumer streaming platform focused on a fast-growing professional sports league.
You’ll collaborate with product and operations to design, test, and support end-to-end streaming solutions—including encoding, live ingest, OVP integrations, entitlement systems, and player-side delivery. Your mission: to ensure high reliability and broadcast-quality standards across mobile, web, and CTV platforms.
What You’ll Do
- Design and maintain scalable live and VOD pipelines (encoding, packaging, CDN)
- Implement and optimize protocols (SRT, RTMP, HLS, DASH, CMAF)
- Coordinate with venue teams and production partners to ensure stable live ingest
- Integrate with OVPs like JW Player, Vimeo, or Bitmovin
- Troubleshoot playback issues across mobile, web, and connected TV devices
- Support entitlement, tokenization, and subscription access systems
- Define and enforce technical specs and system monitoring standards
- Evaluate solutions for SSAI, DRM, and monetization
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of experience with end-to-end (“glass to glass”) streaming workflows
- 2–3 years of hands-on experience with SVOD, HLS, and OVP integrations
- Proficiency with ingesting, managing, and distributing live/VOD content across platforms (Apple TV, Fire Stick, mobile apps)
- Strong understanding of codecs (H.264, H.265, AV1), ABR ladders, and video player behavior
- Hands-on experience with tools like OBS, Wirecast, vMix, ffmpeg, Wowza, etc.
- Familiarity with OVPs, CDNs, and entitlement/authentication systems
- Knowledge of cloud-based infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Calm and fast problem-solver—especially under live conditions
Applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
Bonus Skills
- Experience with camera setup, onsite encoding, or live venue broadcast workflows
- Interest in emerging sports, storytelling, and fan-driven media
