The role
We're evolving live production and playout operations across newsrooms, sports, and 24/7 channels by fusing traditional broadcast engineering with modern DevOps and cloud/SaaS operations. You'll be a handson expert who can design, deploy, automate and support missioncritical workflows, from studio to edge to cloud, with a relentless focus on uptime, performance and customer success. This role bridges broadcast engineering expertise with deep platform operations for AMPP.local deployments. You will support the Kubernetes-based control layer, its lifecycle, and its resilience. You'll ensure live news, sports, and playout workflows run flawlessly while maintaining the underlying infrastructure that powers them.
The role requires regular local travelling to our clients sites.

What you'll do

Broadcast and Devops engineering (news, sport, playout)

Implement, and support live news and sports production workflows (ingest, studio, replay, graphics, playout automation) across SDI and IP (SMPTE 2110/2022-6)
Configure and troubleshoot playout systems, SCTE triggers, branding, captions, and loudness compliance
Produce deployment documentation and operational runbooks for hybrid and on-prem AMPP environments

DevOps & Platform Ownership (AMPP.local)

You are the operator of the control plane and responsible for its health, security, and availability:

Linux & OS-Level Responsibilities

Install and harden Linux OS (Ubuntu or equivalent) on control-plane and node systems
Manage disk partitioning, LVM volumes, file systems, and log rotation to prevent disk saturation
Maintain DNS, NTP, hostname configs, and secure SSH key-based access for automation

Kubernetes (K3s) Control Plane

Deploy and initialize the AMPP.local K3s cluster (control plane setup)
Perform AMPP.local upgrades, including Kubernetes component updates
Manage and rotate platform certificates to prevent expiration or security failures
Monitor and recover the etcd datastore; maintain kubelet and containerd services
Respond to pod crashes, failed scheduling, and manage persistent storage provisioning
Administer network policies, service routing, and RBAC for both Kubernetes and OS-level accounts
Test failover between cluster nodes for high availability

Monitoring & Observability

Operate and maintain the Prometheus/Grafana and Kibana stacks (provided but unsupported by GV)
Ensure metrics collection, alerting, and log integration into broader observability pipelines

Backup & Recovery

Script and schedule full system backups using dump and LVM snapshots
Securely offload backups and regularly test restoration procedures, including GRUB reinstall and partition recovery

Security & Updates

Apply OS-level patching, rebuild initramfs, and reinstall bootloaders as needed
Enforce secure separation of user accounts and access policies

AMPP Node Responsibilities

Maintain Linux OS and runtime environments on media-processing nodes
Monitor CPU, disk, network, and temperature for low-latency, high-availability performance
Troubleshoot connectivity and system-level issues

What you'll bring

Strong Linux administration and troubleshooting skills
Kubernetes (K3s) expertise: cluster lifecycle, etcd recovery, RBAC, persistent volumes
Familiarity with RabbitMQ, MongoDB, scripting (Bash, Python), and automation tools (Ansible, Terraform)
Networking knowledge (Cisco): multicast, QoS, VPN, routing
Broadcast domain knowledge: newsroom workflows, sports live production, playout systems

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, or equivalent experience
5–8+ years in broadcast engineering and/or DevOps for live production
Ability to participate in on-call rotation and travel within APAC
