Broadcast Systems Engineer, Prime Video Live Sports
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to parse the posting.
We have description: "Prime Video is seeking an experienced Broadcast Systems Engineer for our Live Sports Production Technical Operations team. This role spans the design, integration, and day-to-day operation of broadcast production systems and the underlying compute and virtualization infrastructure that powers them. You will support infrastructure powering live events across our expanding sports portfolio including NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL, NWSL, and NASCAR as well as the build-out of new broadcast facilities on our Culver City campus. You will be part of the core engineering team responsible for designing, building, and maintaining a state-of-the-art broadcast campus — working alongside network engineers, broadcast technicians, and architects to deploy and operate the compute and virtualization infrastructure that powers live sports at scale. As part of the Prime Video team, you will work on projects that are fast-paced, technically varied, and high-impact, with room to experiment with new technology, take creative risks, and collaborate with exceptional people."
That's about the role. So we can put that under About the role
with
. Then "Key job responsibilities" list: bullet points. We'll put under
Responsibilities
with- . Then "Basic Qualifications" list: bullet points. Could be Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide where to put qualifications vs requirements. Usually Basic Qualifications = Requirements. Preferred Qualifications = Qualifications or Skills? We'll map Basic Qualifications to Requirements heading. Preferred Qualifications to Qualifications heading (or Skills). But we also have Skills maybe separate. However we can combine. We need to avoid empty sections. We'll include sections for which we have content. We have Pay: The posting includes "The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location. Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance ... Learn more about our benefits at ..." Then later: "USA, CA, Culver City - 127,300.00 - 222,700.00 USD annually". So we have Pay info: salary range. Also benefits info. So we can include Benefits and Pay sections. Schedule: Not mentioned. So omit Schedule. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, etc. Also remove Los Angeles County applicants text? That's part of posting but maybe considered boilerplate? It's about criminal history etc. It's likely boilerplate; we should remove. Also remove "Amazon is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "If you have a disability..." etc. Also remove "If the country/region you’re applying in isn’t listed..." etc. Also remove "Company - Amazon.com Services LLC Job ID: A10560916". Also remove "Learn more about our benefits at ..."? That's a link but maybe part of benefits description; we can keep benefits description but drop the link? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The benefits link maybe not boilerplate but could be considered navigation? It's a link to benefits page; maybe we can keep benefits description but drop the link. Safer to keep benefits description but not the URL? The instruction says output only HTML fragment; we can include plain text without link. We'll keep benefits description but omit the URL. Also we need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like specific sports, tasks, etc. Let's extract sections. About the role: first paragraph(s) up to "Key job responsibilities". We'll combine into a paragraph. Responsibilities: list after "Key job responsibilities". The bullet points: - Work as part of a core engineering team responsible for deploying and integrating production systems — collaborating closely with network and broadcast engineers, vendors, and production staff to bring new infrastructure and systems online. - Manage the full lifecycle of server infrastructure: procurement support, automated provisioning, configuration management, patching, and decommissioning — physical installation and rack/cabling work as needed. - Administer Linux, Windows, and macOS systems at scale across production, engineering, and post-production environments. - Maintain a systematic patching program across the full fleet: OS updates, firmware, BIOS, IPMI, application software, and hypervisor components — including patch cadences, testing pipelines, and rollback procedures that account for a live production environment. - Approach every repeatable task as an automation opportunity — building scripts, pipelines, and tooling that eliminate manual work, reduce human error, and scale operations as our fleet grows. - Manage and maintain Proxmox VE hypervisor clusters; deploy, configure, and lifecycle-manage remote machines supporting broadcast applications, media services, backend services, control systems, and engineering tools. - Maintain and continuously improve a monitoring and alerting platform covering all infrastructure layers — compute, virtualization, storage, network, and broadcast systems — integrating telemetry via APIs, Syslog, SNMP with dashboards, threshold alerting, anomaly detection, and on-call escalation paths. - Manage and maintain records for all infrastructure assets, including physical servers, network hardware, remote machines, and associated IP address space. - Provide on-call technical support during live broadcast events; rapidly triage and resolve on-air incidents across the full infrastructure stack. - Create and maintain comprehensive documentation including as-built drawings, system designs, VM inventories, provisioning runbooks, and change records. - Approach all system design and implementation with a security-first mindset — collaborating with Amazon Security on architecture reviews, patching compliance, and vulnerability remediation. We'll put each as
- . Requirements (Basic Qualifications): bullet list: - Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Broadcast Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent professional experience - 6+ years of hands-on experience in broadcast systems engineering within live production or media infrastructure environments - Linux, Windows and macOS system administration experience at scale - Hands-on experience administering enterprise hypervisor platforms - Proxmox VE, VMware vSphere, or equivalent - including VM and container lifecycle, storage configuration, and HA management - Experience provisioning and maintaining bare metal servers: IPMI/iDRAC/iLO, BIOS management, RAID configuration, and hardware troubleshooting - Practical scripting and automation experience (Bash, Python, Node.js, or equivalent) applied to infrastructure tasks - Solid broadcast networking fundamentals: IP addressing, VLANs, network segmentation, multicast, basic L3 routing - Experience configuring and maintaining infrastructure monitoring and alerting platforms (i.e. Grafana, Prometheus, Zabbix, Nagios, or equivalent) - Working knowledge of broadcast signal formats and transport methods such as SDI (HD/3G/12G), IP media transport (ST 2110, SRT, JPEG-XS), or AoIP/embedded audio (AES67, Dante, embedded/analog audio, timecode, and ancillary data) We'll put as
- . Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications): bullet list: - Hands-on experience supporting ST 2110 and NMOS-based IP production environments. - Experience with configuration management and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent. - Experience administering Active Directory: user and group management, Group Policy, DNS/DHCP integration, and OU structure for production environments. - Experience supporting or working in live broadcast control room environments with systems such as production switchers, routing systems, multiviewers, replay, graphics, and playout. - AWS administration experience: EC2, IAM, VPC, S3, and Systems Manager for managing cloud-hosted infrastructure alongside on-premises environments. - Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) in a media or production environment. We'll put as

Skills: Not explicitly separate; maybe we could combine some skills but we have no separate skills section. Could omit Skills heading.
Benefits: The posting says: "Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave." We'll put that as
under Benefits heading. Pay: Salary range: "USA, CA, Culver City - 127,300.00 - 222,700.00 USD annually". Also mention sign-on payments and RSUs. We'll include that. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not needed. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft. Structure:
