Most of the “who's who” in media and entertainment (Netflix, Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, Sony, and Amazon Studios to name a few) are already working with GPL Technologies to create content with record speed, quality and efficiency.\nFor time and cost sensitive projects (which is everything in media these days), the value proposition is unparalleled - delivering optimized IT solutions for content creators and media services providers. Seasoned executives at some of the leading companies including Pixomondo, Technicolor, Electronic Arts, Skydance, and Apple are leaping at the chance to join this new wave in \"creative enablement\" and the opportunity to shape a truly electric environment for serving customers.\nWe are looking for strong candidates who are self-driven, entrepreneurial, and willing to admit when their first idea won’t work - and then try a new one. No blind followers, we want thinkers who can solve problems creatively by cooperating with teammates and clients to create great outcomes. They understand that supporting clients is a challenging and rewarding experience.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5759,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T13:54:20Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T23:10:46Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/gpltech-cloud-engineer-gpl-technologies","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/gpltech-cloud-engineer-gpl-technologies.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T23:10:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":38025,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4418624},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4418624"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgpltech-cloud-engineer-gpl-technologies"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgpltech-cloud-engineer-gpl-technologies"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgpltech-cloud-engineer-gpl-technologies"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/gpltech-cloud-engineer-gpl-technologies\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgpltech-cloud-engineer-gpl-technologies"}]}
