• Design systems to handle linear scheduling metadata, slate content, trick files, blackout rules, and region-specific constraints
• Integrate with third-party delivery systems (e.g., Aspera, Signiant, S3, SFTP), and build monitoring for SLAs, throughput, and partner-specific success metrics
• Automate reconciliation workflows, including delivery receipts, QC validation (e.g., checksum, mediainfo), and error remediation
• Collaborate with Video Encoding, Platform Engineering, and Partner Operations to translate partner specs into executable, repeatable delivery templates
• Work with business stakeholders and ops to onboard new partners, define spec mappings, and ensure timely fulfillment of content delivery obligations
• Create robust observability dashboards, real-time alerting, and delivery performance reporting for internal and external visibility
