You will define the path to ensure reliable streaming for all of our users across the globe. • Manage Global Distribution: Partner closely with our infrastructure teams to define how to scale media via Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), edge computing, and caching strategies. • Standardize Formats: You will drive the standardization of our stack, from streaming protocols (HLS, MPEG-DASH) to container formats (CMAF, MP4). • Champion a culture of innovation and experimentation, where team members are encouraged to explore, test, and refine novel ideas, while balancing platform scale with product velocity. • Establish a clear technical vision and direction for our media systems, while staying ahead of the curve in terms of emerging technologies. • Navigate ambiguity with confidence, utilizing data-driven insights to guide the team towards successful outcomes. • Work in close partnership with Product, Data, and ML teams to ensure effective leadership, alignment with broader organizational objectives, and maximum impact.

You should understand the intricacies of multi-part uploads, encoding schedulers, and adaptive bitrate streaming. • Proven ability to balance immediate performance fixes (e.g., MP4 playback optimizations) with long-term architectural overhauls (e.g., media delivery at the edge, caching strategies). • Experience defining and governing clear Service Level Objectives and Indicators (SLOS, SLIs) to drive media investment decisions. • Proven ability to brainstorm and implement experimental ideas to drive growth. • Exceptional leadership, team management, communication, and collaboration skills. • Experience managing media creation experience, such as video or image editing tools, composers, or UIs for creators.
