You will ensure that all projects are delivered on-time and meet the highest standards of quality. This role requires excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and a passion for accessibility in media.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the configuration and deployment of streaming infrastructure, captioning tools, and platforms (e.g., OBS, Wirecast, YouTube Live, Twitch, Zoom, etc.).
  • Ensure adherence to accessibility standards (e.g., ADA, WCAG) and compliance with live captioning and subtitling regulations.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues in real-time during live broadcasts, ensuring minimal downtime and smooth operations.
  • Develop and implement workflows for integrating live captions, transcripts, and translations with live-streamed content.
  • Manage relationships with third-party vendors, freelancers, and captioning service providers.

Requirements

  • Experience in Live Streaming Technologies:
  • Proficiency in live streaming platforms and encoders (e.g., OBS, Wirecast, vMix, Wowza, Restream).
  • Knowledge of RTMP, HLS, WebRTC, and other video streaming protocols.
  • Experience with CDN services (e.g., Akamai, Cloudflare) for optimized content delivery.
  • Familiarity with server-side and client-side streaming architectures.
  • Live Captioning Expertise:
  • Strong understanding of real-time captioning technologies, including stenography, CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation), and automated speech recognition (ASR).
  • Experience with captioning tools such as Ai-Media, EEG Falcon, CaptionSync, StreamText, or similar software.
  • Knowledge of caption file formats (SRT, VTT, SCC) and best practices for caption positioning, timing, and quality.
  • Technical Troubleshooting:
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot audio/video quality issues, latency, synchronization problems, and captioning delays.
  • Familiarity with video codecs, streaming resolutions, and bitrates for optimal performance.
  • Compliance & Accessibility:
  • Knowledge of accessibility standards such as ADA, WCAG, FCC guidelines, and country-specific live captioning regulations.
  • Experience with accessibility features in live streaming platforms (closed captions, transcripts, audio descriptions).
  • Project Management Skills:
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, prioritize tasks, and work under tight deadlines.
  • Strong communication and leadership skills to collaborate with teams and stakeholders across different time zones.
  • Preferred Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s degree in IT, Broadcast Engineering, Media, or related field.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
