  • Qualifications, Skills and Education

    Required Experience

  • A minimum of 5-8 years of progressive experience in technology leadership, with at least 3-5+ years in a senior or lead role overseeing media technology, data engineering, MLOps, or AI / ML systems architecture.
  • A proven and demonstrable track record of successfully architecting and delivering large-scale, complex technology projects from concept through to production, preferably within a high-volume media, broadcast, sports, or entertainment environment.
  • This role requires a unique, hybrid expertise across media workflows, high-performance computing, data engineering, and applied AI. Candidates will likely have a background in R&D at a major media company, a high-end VFX studio, or a solutions architecture role at a leading technology vendor (e.g., NVIDIA, Microsoft, AWS).
  • Technical Architecture & Engineering Expertise

  • Expert-level knowledge of designing, implementing, and managing high-performance storage solutions for large-scale unstructured data (direct, hands-on experience with the VAST Data platform is highly preferred).

  • Strong, current understanding of modern AI architectures and techniques, including Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), vector databases, and agentic AI systems.
  • Proficiency in MLOps, CI / CD principles, and infrastructure automation tools (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform).
  • Leadership & Collaboration Skills

  • Demonstrated ability to act as a bridge and translator between highly technical engineering teams and creative, non-technical stakeholders. Must show evidence of building strong, collaborative partnerships that lead to successful technology adoption.
  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate a compelling technology vision and report on progress and ROI to executive leadership.
  • Proven experience as a change agent and evangelist, with a history of successfully driving the adoption of new technologies and workflows within a complex organization.
  • Education

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field is required. Equivalent professional experience will be strongly considered.
  • Physical Requirements
