We are looking for a Video Backend Support Engineer to join our client’s team and help ensure the reliability and operational continuity of their OTT video delivery platform. In this role, you will monitor live and VOD services, troubleshoot and resolve first-line incidents, and support video backend technologies across encoding, packaging, CDN delivery, and streaming. You will also work closely with engineering teams and external vendors to maintain a smooth, high-quality viewing experience, particularly during live events.

Support CMS and video back-end related issues in coordination with engineering. Record all incidents in the incident reporting system, and contribute findings to post-incident reviews to prevent recurrence and improve future response. Ensure clean handover and hand-back of live systems, confirming services are fully operational before returning them to live use. Help keep runbooks, reference pages, and operational documentation current, flagging gaps to the responsible engineers. Complete assigned tasks to a high standard within agreed timeframes, coordinating with the team on planned and unplanned activities.

Experience with OTT video backend systems such as Harmonic VOS360, AWS Elemental, Unified Streaming and Ateme Titan. Understanding of DRM technologies (PlayReady, Widevine, FairPlay). Experience with monitoring and QoE tools such as Conviva, Grafana, Elasticsearch, Prometheus, Telestream, or TAG. Basic scripting ability (Shell, Python) for operational tasks and automation. Good understanding of the demands of a live, automated broadcast environment. Comfortable working from runbooks and following structured operational procedures. Strong analytical thinking, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills. Experience with runbooks, PIR processes, vendor escalation, and Jira.
