iSpot.tv is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the Publisher Team, responsible for mission-critical systems that ingest, process, and organize massive streams of media data. This role owns the end-to-end data lifecycle from raw broadcast/digital signal ingestion through robust Content Catalog management, with explicit accountability for software quality, frontend architecture, and ad catalog expertise.
Key responsibilities include leading platform modernization efforts to improve throughput and reduce latency, embedding AI/ML into content cataloging workflows for automated creative identification and metadata extraction at scale, and ensuring accuracy and reliability of massive ad datasets. You will own the full pipeline from design through testing, release, and post-release stability, serving as the final authority on release readiness and tracking metrics like defect density, test coverage, and production uptime.
The role balances people leadership with technical execution. You will coach and mentor a team of engineers, fostering a culture of high accountability and quality-first engineering. Responsibilities include translating long-term platform strategy into actionable sprints, owning internal-facing tools and dashboards, championing AI-assisted development practices, and ensuring 24/7 availability and performance of ad catalog and ingestion engines.
Required qualifications include proven experience managing high-performing teams delivering production-grade distributed software at scale, deep domain expertise in big data architectures (particularly high-throughput data ingestion or media metadata systems), a track record of upgrading legacy systems and refactoring technical debt, and experience embedding AI/ML models into production workflows. Full-stack architectural proficiency spanning backend and frontend systems is essential. Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States; visa sponsorship is not available.
