Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop and commission automated workflows across production systems: ingest, processing, QC, delivery and system integrations.
• Build and maintain orchestration that connects business, production and cloud systems through APIs, event-driven triggers and message queues.
• Automate infrastructure and deployment using infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD and configuration management across on-prem and cloud environments.
• Develop reusable automation libraries, templates and integration standards with engineering and operations teams.
• Own documentation and acceptance: design specs, test plans, FAT/SAT or IQ/OQ, release notes, runbooks and handover packs.
• Operate under structured change control, with traceable releases suitable for regulated or live 24x7 environments.
• Provide day-to-day support for automated workflows, including failed jobs, stuck queues and integration breaks.
• Build monitoring, alerting and self-healing routines for system and job health.

• 7+ years in automation, DevOps or integration engineering.
• Domain experience in either: Media/broadcast: playout, MAM, transcoding or OTT/FAST workflows (preferred) Pharma/life sciences IT: MES, LIMS, QMS or data platform integrations under GxP
• Strong scripting and development skills: Python, PowerShell, Bash; REST APIs, webhooks, JSON/XML.
• Workflow orchestration experience: e.g. Telestream Vantage, Dalet Flex, AWS Step Functions, Airflow, n8n or similar.
