About MTS


MTS (Monitoring the Situation) is building an X-native, new media and intelligence company for a world shaped by AI. We help people make sense of what's happening at the frontier by asking the right questions, working with the people closest to the developments, and creating content for the platforms where our audience already spends its time.


Alongside new shows, we're exploring products that turn information, data, and insight into tools people can use. We're a small team moving quickly, with the ambition to become a defining source of insight for the next era.


The Role


Live video is at the heart of MTS, and this role leads the technical side of everything we put on air. You'll own the studio and shoot setup, livestream operations, and the equipment and workflows behind them. As the anchor hire for our production team, you'll help define how we produce as we scale to more shows and live events.


What you'll do



  • Run livestreams end to end, including encoding, switching, audio, and real-time troubleshooting

  • Lead technical setup and execution for shoots, studios, and live events

  • Build and maintain our studio, equipment, and production workflows

  • Shoot as needed and bring in freelance crew for larger productions

  • Partner with design and the founders to bring new show formats to air

  • Help build and grow the production team


What we're looking for



  • 3-5+ years of experience in live production, broadcast engineering, or livestreaming

  • Deep expertise in cameras, audio, lighting, switching, and streaming infrastructure

  • A track record of running high-stakes live productions with composure

  • Strong camera and photography skills

  • A body of work we can watch: shows, streams, or events you've produced

  • Bonus: film school or equivalent hands-on training


Why MTS


This is a rare opportunity to build the visual identity of a media company from the ground up. The people closest to the frontier of AI are regularly our guests, and your work will be seen by those defining the industry.


We hold a high bar, keep feedback direct, and give everyone real ownership from day one.


Benefits:



  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage

  • Flexible PTO

  • Competitive Equity

  • Proximity to the most influential people in tech and AI


Compensation



  • $90K-$200K+ based on experience
