Achieve your claim to fame.

This is a rare opportunity to operate at a senior technical level, leapfrog your career trajectory, and lead the design and execution of technology platforms that power video-driven media networks, live broadcasting systems, and creative production workflows at scale.

If you really want the job, even if you don’t quite fit the description

POSITION SUMMARY

We are looking for a Tech Lead – Creative Industries to own technical architecture, platform scalability, and engineering execution across video-centric media, live broadcast infrastructures, and content-driven production ecosystems.

You will design and lead systems that support rich video workflows, live streaming pipelines, media network operations, control-room integrations, and end-to-end content distribution—bridging software platforms with production hardware environments.

This includes architecting solutions for:

Live streaming platforms
Media network infrastructure
Broadcast control room integrations
Video encoding and processing systems
Hardware–software interoperability in media environments

You will set technical standards, guide engineers, and accelerate delivery through AI-augmented development, intelligent automation, and scalable cloud-native infrastructure.

This role supports a hybrid working model, designed to enable deep focus and high-quality execution, while maintaining strong collaboration and alignment with the core team.

A DAY IN THE LIFE …

• Design and own scalable architectures for video-driven media platforms and broadcast ecosystems

• Lead technical decision-making across live streaming pipelines, encoding systems, and media distribution layers

• Architect integrations between software platforms and broadcast hardware environments (switchers, encoders, media servers, control systems)

• Translate creative, production, and network requirements into reliable technical systems

• Collaborate closely with creative teams, broadcast operators, product managers, and infrastructure engineers

• Review code, mentor engineers, and enforce engineering best practices across media-heavy systems

• Use AI-assisted tools to optimize video processing, real-time content workflows, and distribution efficiency

• Anticipate performance, bandwidth, latency, and infrastructure cost challenges in live environments

• Ensure platform reliability, low-latency delivery, and long-term maintainability across both cloud and on-premise setups

SKILLS

Strong experience designing and leading scalable video-centric or media-heavy systems

• Deep understanding of live streaming architectures, video encoding/decoding pipelines, and content distribution networks

• Experience with broadcast infrastructure concepts and control room environments

• Familiarity with hardware–software integration in media production systems

• Understanding of cloud-based video delivery and hybrid on-prem/cloud architectures

• Systems-level thinking with strong architectural judgment under latency and bandwidth constraints

• Ability to lead through clarity, ownership, and technical credibility

• Experience leveraging AI tools to improve media processing, automation, and creative workflows

• Strong communication skills to align technology with creative, operational, and business goals

About Sam Iranian

At Sam Iranian, we partner with ambitious organizations to design, build, and scale high-impact initiatives at the intersection of technology, media, and entertainment.

We operate as a modern, AI-native creative organization, purpose-built to be fast, intelligent, and outcome-driven—where talents consistently deliver the impact of much larger teams through strong judgment, refined taste, sound decision-making, clear thinking and disciplined execution with the effective use of intelligent tools.

Our culture values people who take ownership, move fast with clarity, and create momentum, enabling a level of innovation and speed that large organizations are often unable to achieve due to structural complexity, bureaucracy, and organizational inertia.

At Sam Iranian, Tech Leads don’t just manage code—they shape the future of the platform.
