Onsite 5 days a week (open to 3-4 days onsite for the right candidate)
We are looking for a Senior Staff Broadcast Network Engineer to join the IP Infrastructure Engineering team within a leading global media organization headquartered in New York. This position is responsible for architecting, deploying, and supporting advanced IP networks that power live broadcast operations and large-scale media production environments.
The ideal candidate brings extensive experience with media-over-IP standards, real-time transport, and modern broadcast networking technologies, including SMPTE ST 2110, PTP synchronization, and software-defined networking. This role will work closely with engineering, IT, and operations teams to provide highly reliable, low-latency network solutions that support live video, audio, and data workflows across the organization.
Key Responsibilities • Design, implement, and support IP-based broadcast networks that handle uncompressed media and real-time production workflows. • Partner with SDN and infrastructure teams to deliver deterministic, low-latency network solutions for live content creation. • Assess and enhance existing network designs to improve scalability, performance, and timing stability. • Lead diagnostics and root-cause analysis for complex network and media-transport issues across multiple facilities. • Collaborate with internal teams and third-party vendors to integrate new media networking and orchestration technologies. • Utilize automation and configuration management tools such as Ansible and Arista CloudVision for network operations. • Manage multicast routing, QoS policies, and capacity planning for high-bandwidth, real-time applications. • Ensure system reliability through proactive monitoring, failover testing, and lifecycle management of firmware and hardware. • Produce clear and detailed documentation including network diagrams, configurations, and operational procedures. • Provide technical leadership, training, and mentorship to operations and engineering personnel.
Required Qualifications • 10+ years of experience engineering and supporting mission-critical IP networks at scale. • Strong background in broadcast/media transport over IP environments. • Hands-on expertise with Arista platforms and modern data-center architectures. • Deep understanding of multicast, QoS, PTP timing, and real-time media synchronization. • Proficiency with network automation tools such as Ansible and scripting languages like Python. • Experience with spine-leaf designs, SDN, and VXLAN/EVPN technologies. • Strong analytical and diagnostic skills, including experience with packet analysis tools such as Wireshark. • Excellent communication skills and a proven ability to work in fast-paced live production environments. • Demonstrated ability to mentor teammates and share technical best practices.
Preferred Qualifications • Background working in broadcast, media, streaming, or live production environments. • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. • Industry certifications (e.g., Arista ACE or similar). • Experience with orchestration platforms, PTP timing systems, and advanced media-over-IP standards.
