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.
