About The Position

Iyuno is seeking a Director, Media Engineering with deep media supply-chain experience and a track record of leading engineering teams and delivering production-ready systems. The role requires technical understanding of media orchestration, post-production workflows or broadcast engineering, including ingest, transcode, conform, quality control, packaging and delivery.

The Director will set strategy and identify initiatives to build, make the case for them, and drive them through to production. They will lead a development team, remain technically capable of reviewing designs, challenging estimates and reading code, and focus on what the team ships rather than individual coding output. They will gather input from operators before building, surface dependencies early, and represent Iyuno credibly in design discussions with studio engineering teams.

Requirements

• Experience in media orchestration, post-production workflow or broadcast engineering.
• Technical-level understanding of ingest, transcode, conform, QC, packaging and delivery.
• Experience managing a development team, with accountability for what the team ships.
• Technical ability to review designs, challenge estimates and read code.
• A track record of initiatives delivered to production and remaining live, with user adoption.
• Ability to proactively identify and drive initiatives through to production.
• Ability to obtain user input and design against actual workflows.
• Ability to identify and surface dependencies and structural blockers early.
• Ability to represent Iyuno credibly in technical design conversations with studio engineering teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead a development team and be accountable for the team's delivered work.
• Identify strategic initiatives and determine what should be built without waiting for direction.
• Make the case for initiatives and drive them through to production.
• Review technical designs, challenge estimates and read code without taking on the role of writing it.
• Gather operator input and understand real workflows before designing solutions.
• Surface structural blockers and dependencies early enough to address them.
• Represent Iyuno in design conversations with studio engineering teams.
