Broadcast Cloud Engineer Broadcast Cloud Engineer is responsible for the seamless operation, monitoring, and management of live video and post‑production systems for major sports events across on‑premises and cloud environments. This role supports both real‑time broadcast workflows — including signal reception, processing, mixing, and distribution — and parallel post‑production workflows such as cloud‑based editing, media asset management, and file‑based delivery. Working closely with the internal production team, suppliers, and distribution partners, the Broadcast Cloud Engineer ensures flawless technical execution throughout each event, from first signal to final archive, across properties including FIFA, Concacaf, World Rugby, World Athletics, and the US Open. Candidates should be comfortable switching between live operations and non‑live production workflows depending on the phase of each event — from pre‑event setup and testing, through live match‑day operations, to post‑event editing, delivery, and archival.
Your Responsibilities Cloud Operations & Monitoring
Manage and maintain AWS cloud infrastructure supporting live video processing, including deployment, scaling, and cost optimization of media services.
Deploy, configure, and scale video processing pipelines for live event contribution and distribution.
Implement and maintain monitoring, alerting, and logging systems to ensure real‑time visibility into platform health during live events.
Lead incident response during live broadcasts, coordinating with internal teams and suppliers to resolve issues with minimal impact on output.
Prepare and deliver post‑event technical reports for clients and the leadership team, including root cause analysis where applicable.
Broadcast Engineering
Support end‑to‑end live signal workflows: reception, encoding/transcoding, mixing, and delivery to distribution partners and broadcasters.
Troubleshoot signal and transport issues across contribution and distribution paths, including SRT and other IP‑based protocols.
Collaborate with match operators and on‑site teams to ensure on‑premises and cloud systems are aligned and operational.
Post‑Production & Media Workflows
Support and maintain cloud‑based and VDI editing environments, ensuring editors have reliable, low‑latency access to NLE tools during events.
Manage or support media server infrastructure and media asset management (MAM) systems for ingest, transcoding, and delivery of event content — often running in parallel with live production.
Oversee file‑based workflows including proxy generation, media movement between storage tiers (hot/nearline/archive), and delivery to downstream systems.
Troubleshoot performance issues in remote edit environments.
Coordinate with production teams on capacity planning around event schedules to handle demand spikes on match days.
Project Support
Lead end‑to‑end project management for small technical projects; assist in planning and execution for medium to large projects.
Engage with stakeholders to gather project requirements and follow up during implementation in an iterative cycle.
Manage budgets and resource allocation for smaller projects, including supplier management, issuing RFPs/RFIs, and evaluating responses.
Technical Roadmap & Documentation
Contribute to the development and testing of operational tools that enhance efficiency and quality through automation.
Take ownership of operational and technical systems, tools, and processes.
Create and maintain knowledge base articles and operational training materials for the team.
Teamwork
Assist in the onboarding, training, and development of new team members.
HBS is committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates and will provide reasonable adjustments to support candidates with disabilities or specific needs throughout the recruitment process.
