Role Overview

We are seeking a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE I) to join our Video Platform Engineering team.

As a Level 1 SRE, you will work closely with senior engineers to respond to incidents, perform routine operational tasks, and build foundational automation skills. This position is ideal for candidates with a background in systems or network administration who are eager to grow into video reliability engineering.

Job Duties and Responsibilities

  • Support day-to-day operations of video platforms including encoding, transcoding, packaging, origin servers, DRM, and CDN delivery. 
  • Assist in troubleshooting service-impacting issues and escalating to senior engineers when needed. 
  • Participate in on-call rotations under supervision, responding to alerts and contributing to incident resolution. 
  • Execute runbooks for routine operational tasks, deployments, and platform maintenance. 
  • Write and maintain basic automation scripts (Python, Bash, PowerShell) to reduce manual work. 
  • Document incident response steps, troubleshooting guides, and standard operating procedures. 
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (network, storage, CDN, and applications) to support service delivery. 

Education & Experience 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Media Technology, or equivalent practical experience. 
  • 0–2 years of experience in systems administration, IT operations, video engineering, or SRE-related work. 
  • Exposure to video delivery workflows (streaming, VOD, ABR packaging) is a plus but not required. 

Technical Expertise 

  • Basic understanding of Linux administration and troubleshooting. 
  • Familiarity with scripting (Python, Bash, or PowerShell). 
  • Exposure to monitoring/observability tools (Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, Splunk, DataDog, or similar). 
  • General knowledge of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, load balancing, HTTP). 
  • Awareness of streaming protocols (HLS, MPEG-DASH, RTMP) is a plus. 
  • Experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) is desirable but not required.
