We're looking for a DevOps Engineer to drive the modernization, scalability, and reliability of our infrastructure across AWS and on-prem environments. Reporting to the Director, Platform Engineering, you'll work closely with software engineers, broadcast engineers, and product managers to evolve our cloud-first, AI-enabled DevOps practice.

You'll contribute to critical projects improving CI/CD across our backend, web, mobile, and CTV apps, strengthening observability and incident response, and aligning processes across teams and platforms. This is a hands-on role for someone who owns problems end to end, collaborates openly, brings a calm, reliability-first mindset to incidents, and is always looking to automate toil and improve how we build and operate. You'll thrive here if you enjoy solving complex problems, shaping architecture, and building robust, maintainable systems at scale.

Responsibilties:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement robust, scalable, and secure infrastructure in AWS
• Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and Ansible
• Contribute to improvements in system architecture, focusing on reliability, observability, and cost-efficiency
• Modernize our CI/CD practices, including the adoption of AI-assisted tooling, to enable safe, rapid delivery of services across environments
• Improve operational visibility through monitoring, logging, and tracing, applying AIOps approaches to anomaly detection and incident response.
• Contribute to engineering standards, documentation, and design reviews
• Align DevOps tooling and processes across teams, promoting platform consistency and best practices
• On-call rotation and coverage during live events, including evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed to support broadcast reliability and incident response.
