SENIOR INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEER

We Realise Potential in Your Story - Wherever you are.

We are a multi-platform production company, social media agency, and digital media network who are currently on a quest to find a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to join us on a fully remote basis - Is this your next opportunity?

The Senior Infrastructure Engineer will lead a business-critical cloud transformation project; overseeing the migration of our locally- hosted edit workstations and core infrastructure services into a cloud-native AWS environment. The role will also be pivotal in redesigning our media ingest pipeline, reducing reliance on on-premises hardware across our global operations. You will act as the primary technical liaison between LDS and our strategic external partner, ensuring that business requirements are met and project milestones are hit.

The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of media and post production workflows and be an expert systems integrator. Beyond the AWS transformation, a key part of the remit is to improve security within our GCP environment. You will oversee the provision and hardening of infrastructure, and ensure we comply with LDS Group compliance standards, allowing our developers to focus on product.

HOW YOU'LL SPEND YOUR TIME 

• Lead the redesign and migration of locally hosted edit workstations and infrastructure to a cloud-native model, ensuring a seamless experience for global staff.

• Design the architectural shift of the current ingest pipeline to AWS, optimising for scalability and cost-efficiency.

• Act as the primary technical liaison for the business and our partner, ensuring project milestones align with strategic business needs.

• Own and optimise the integration architecture and API connections across History Hit’s SVOD ecosystem, ensuring seamless data flow and service reliability between core platforms including Auth0, Zapier, Klaviyo, Acast, and Vimeo.

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED

• Advanced proficiency in configuring and managing AWS environments, specifically for compute-heavy and media-centric workloads.

• Deep understanding of professional content editing, ingest pipelines, and storage tiering in a global content agency.

• Proven experience working in a DevOps model, including CI/CD principles and automated infrastructure management.

• Working knowledge of GCP security and administration.

• Strong foundation in network engineering (LAN/WAN), TCP/IP principles, and storage systems.
