We're not just handling ad insertion – we're providing sophisticated manifest manipulation, dynamic ad decisioning, and detailed reporting capabilities that help content providers maximize their advertising revenue while delivering pristine viewing experiences to millions of concurrent viewers. As video consumption continues to shift to streaming platforms, our team is at the forefront of developing solutions that bridge traditional TV advertising with the digital future.

Participate in the on-call rotation to support our 24/7 video streaming services

A day in the life
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
At AWS Elemental MediaTailor, no two days are quite the same, but here's what you might experience: Your morning starts with deep diving into a tricky ad insertion bug that has been escalated to the team. Just before lunch, you join the team standup where you sync with colleagues across time zones on the latest developments for your team's projects. After lunch, you could be working on a design document for a new feature that enables dynamic ad replacement in live sports events, weighing trade-offs between different architectural approaches. Later, you might mentor a new teammate on how to debug a complex issue where ad insertion is failing only for certain devices, requiring you to analyze MediaTailor's internal logs. Throughout the day, you'll be working with native AWS components, collaborating with teammates, and making decisions that directly impact the streaming experience of viewers worldwide. The fast-paced nature of the streaming industry means you'll constantly be learning and adapting to new challenges while working with a team that's passionate about video technology.
