Sr. Software Dev Engineer, Production and Post Production Technology
Key job responsibilities
Lead software development for critical SITC platform components, owning team-level architecture and providing system-wide design guidance for workflows such as media ingestion pipelines, transcoding infrastructure, real-time collaboration systems, GPU rendering platforms, or delivery automation
Design and implement distributed systems spanning multiple features across the full software lifecycle including working backwards from customer needs, software design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. Lead multi-engineer projects requiring integration of parallel work from team members
Own team architecture decisions including service boundaries, API contracts, data models, storage patterns, compute strategies, and integration approaches. Bring perspective and context for current technology choices and guide future technology choices that enable SITC to scale from 70+ to 150+ concurrent productions
Solve complex technical problems with multiple risks and roadblocks including: high-bandwidth media transfer (sustained 100+ Mbps) across regions with varying network infrastructure, low-latency playback for interactive creative review, elastic GPU compute scaling for rendering workloads, multi-region disaster recovery that maintains high availability during AWS regional outages, and integration with vendor systems (Avid, Adobe, Blackmagic) that have specific infrastructure dependencies
