Director, Media Engineering

What we are looking for

• Media supply chain, without exception. You have worked in media orchestration, post production workflow or broadcast engineering, and you understand ingest, transcode, conform, QC, packaging and delivery at a technical level. This is not negotiable for this role.
• A leader of engineers. You have managed a development team and are measured on what the team ships, not on what you ship. You will be technical enough to review a design, challenge an estimate and read the code, and disciplined enough not to write it.
• Strategy and initiative. The single most important quality. You identify what should be built before anyone asks you, you make the case, and you drive it through to production. A capable executor who waits for direction will not succeed here.
• Delivery to production, repeatedly. A track record of things that actually went live and stayed live, with users who adopted them. We will ask for specifics.
• Secures user input before building. You go to the operators, understand the real workflow, and design against it. We have learned what the alternative costs.
• Surfaces dependencies early. You raise structural blockers while there is still time to act on them, not at the deadline.
• Credible externally. You can hold a design conversation with a studio engineering team and represent Iyuno well in it.
