About the job
The TV and Media Solutions team accelerates YouTube’s TV and Originals businesses with stellar technology solutions, operations, and partner support, making data exchange seamless and scaling critical business processes. Our team of Partner Technology Managers, Partner Engineers, Solutions Consultants, and Program Managers manage operations and partner support for YouTubeTV and YouTube Premium.
YouTube TV is an over-the-top (OTT) subscription streaming service that brings live TV and video-on-demand over the internet to your phone, tablet, computer, or smart TV.
The OTT Broadcast team is responsible for all of the content ingestion that powers OTT products, including system design, video/network engineering, feed infrastructure, ingestion video quality, software, tooling, and operations. The team's mission is to deliver a future-proof OTT platform, by building and integrating exceptional tools and services to support the most reliable and resilient signal acquisition, workflow optimization, and highest quality media delivery.
In this role, you will be responsible for building the next iteration of YouTube OTT's ingestion platform with a focus on content ingestion scaling, integrating tooling, reducing operational complexities, enhancing video quality and innovating broadcast systems into a new era of distribution. You will manage vendor engagements and partner closely with engineering operations and engineering teams across YouTube.
At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.
Responsibilities
- Own and drive the tooling and automation strategy for YouTube's live platform, evaluating and integrating internal and external solutions.
- Own the business outcomes associated with improving stream quality, maximizing uptime, reducing operational complexities, employing cost-control measures, decreasing time to onboard content, and reducing time to diagnose, mitigate, and resolve stream impacting issues.
- Develop a strategy and solution for monitoring stream quality at scale while considering broadcast media compliance. Innovate and modernize legacy systems with a low-touch, software-first design approach resulting in streamlined operations.
- Manage multiple vendor engagements and own build vs buy analysis. Explore and advocate for novel VQ solutions (e.g., PSNR, SSIM, VMAF, etc.).
- Collaborate closely with senior engineering leads in designing and implementing the next iteration of YouTube's OTT platform.
