We build and maintain reliable, high‑performance live experiences, and we take ownership of the end‑to‑end live streaming experience—from the venue, through our encoding and delivery platform, out through PV’s client applications.

Our team makes a big impact because nothing is more important to us than pleasing our customers, continually earning their trust, and thinking long term.

If you crave a sense of ownership, this is the place to be.

• Build and scale our current infrastructure as well as design and deliver new tools supporting our video business.
• Engineer and administer day‑to‑day operations for large‑scale distributed systems.

• Own a global hardware stack.

Basic Qualifications

• 4+ years of site reliability engineering (SRE), systems engineering, systems administration, DevOps, security administration, or network administration experience
• 5+ years of Linux experience
• 5+ years of systems engineering experience
• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or related field or relevant work experience
• Experience in site reliability engineering (SRE), systems engineering, systems administration, DevOps, security administration, or network administration
• Experience working with Linux
• Experience in systems engineering
• Experience in any of the following: Python, Java, Perl, PHP, Ruby, Bash, Shell or equivalent

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of TCP/IP and networking protocols such as HTTP and DNS
• Experience designing and developing scripts to automate operational burdens and reviewing scripting changes to ensure they meet the standards for maintainability, scalability and security
• Experience working in 24/7 production environment
• Experience with service‑oriented architecture and web services
