FOX’s Media & Broadcast Cloud Engineering team is hiring a Staff Cloud Engineer with a strong engineering background to program elegant cloud infrastructure video solutions, drive technical adoption of cloud strategies, strive for operational excellence, and help define and advocate programming standards.

This role is responsible for designing, implementing, and managing cloud infrastructure, focusing on automation, security, and cost optimization. Utilizing their deep understanding of AWS and GCP cloud services, they advocate cloud engineering best practices, infrastructure as code, hybrid networking environments, continuous integration, automated monitoring, compliance adherence, and effective communication strategies to both technical and non-technical team members.

The Staff Cloud Engineer meets regularly with customers as a technical thought leader to help implement modern cloud applications and video flows, including hybrid environments for broadcast delivery during daily operations and global events like the Super Bowl, World Cup, World Series, and US Elections. This role continuously investigates new technologies while designing and proposing elegant technical cloud solutions that encompass security, resiliency, operational efficiency, cost savings, maintainability, and interoperability.
