  • Represent end users across mastering operators, QC teams, and localization vendors, gathering feedback to guide product direction
  • Lead Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, backlog grooming, demos, and retrospectives
  • Define and track KPIs such as throughput, error rates, validation success, and delivery turnaround time
  • Stay current with SMPTE standards (ST 429, ST 2067) and emerging mastering technologies
  • Collaborate with security, networking, and infrastructure teams to ensure encrypted and high-performance transfer of large media assets across cloud and on-prem environments
  • Champion automation initiatives that reduce manual QC effort and accelerate delivery to partners and platforms


Must-Have Qualifications

  • Familiarity with AI tools such as Cursor (required)
  • Experience supporting a Digital Cinema or Entertainment company (required)
  • Working knowledge of SaaS architectures and cloud storage platforms such as AWS S3 / Azure Blob
  • Familiarity with high-throughput file transfer technologies (ex: Aspera, Signiant, S3 Transfer Acceleration)
  • Experience supporting Agile teams building web-based tools and APIs for mastering, QC, or delivery pipelines
  • Excellent cross-functional communication skills with the ability to bridge technical and operational teams
  • Proven ability to ship scalable, high-quality products in deadline-driven environments
 
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience within a studio, post-production, or distribution technology environment
  • Knowledge of MAM/DAM systems, transcoding workflows, and metadata validation tools
  • Familiarity with Dolby Vision, HDR, audio channel mapping, and subtitling/closed caption standards
  • Experience with localization, versioning, and territory-specific mastering at scale
  • Understanding of cloud automation and containerized workflows (AWS Batch, Kubernetes, Fargate)
 
Education
  • BA/BS in Computer Science, Engineering, Media Technology, or related field (or equivalent experience)
