On-site - Taguig 3-5 Yrs Exp Bachelor Full-time
IT Systems & Network Specialist (Digital Media Infrastructure)
Role Overview
As an IT Systems & Network Specialist, you are the backbone of our digital delivery. Unlike a traditional corporate IT role, your priority is ensuring our clients' digital advertisements are running flawlessly across all platforms. You will bridge the gap between high-level cloud administration and the ground-level execution of media uploads and network stability. If a digital billboard goes dark or a web-based ad lags, you are the first responder and the long-term architect of the solution.
Key Responsibilities
1. Digital Ad Operations & Media Management
- Ad Playback Continuity: Oversee the digital infrastructure to ensure that video and display ads are playing smoothly and without interruption across all endpoints.
- Media Deployment: Handle the technical upload and distribution of new media assets to local and cloud-based content management systems (CMS).
- Quality Assurance: Regularly audit digital displays and ad-streams to ensure correct formatting, high resolution, and synchronized playback.
- Cloud Infrastructure: Manage and optimize our cloud environment where our ad assets and delivery software are hosted.
- Storage Management: Maintain high-capacity cloud and local storage systems for large-scale 4K video and graphic files.
- Automation: Set up automated scripts or schedules for ad rotations and system updates to minimize manual intervention.
3. Network Monitoring & Troubleshooting
- Connectivity Oversight: Monitor the network 24/7 to ensure all digital ad locations (remote displays, web servers, or kiosks) stay online.
- Rapid Response: Troubleshoot and resolve connectivity drops, hardware failures, or software glitches that prevent ads from playing.
- Security: Maintain firewalls and secure VPN tunnels to protect our proprietary ad-delivery network from external breaches.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Experience: 3+ years in IT Infrastructure, ideally within an Ad Agency, Media House, or Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) company.
- Technical Foundation: Strong knowledge of networking protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP) and how they relate to streaming and media delivery.
- Cloud Proficiency: Hands‑on experience with Cloud Administration (AWS/Azure) and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs).
- Media Tech: Familiarity with digital signage software and media codecs/formats.
- Degree: Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, or equivalent technical experience.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- The "Always‑On" Mindset: You understand that in advertising, "downtime" equals "lost revenue." You are proactive in preventing issues before they happen.
- Detail‑Oriented: You notice when a video frame rate is off or when a cloud sync has stalled.
- Problem Solver: You can remotely troubleshoot a hardware issue in a different city using your network tools.
