Senior AI Engineer

AI/ML Engineer – Video Streaming

Location: Los Angeles, CA / New York, NY / Tempe, AZ

About the role:

We’re hiring on behalf of a major media & entertainment company scaling its AI/ML capability across its streaming platform. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on building and deploying machine learning systems that directly shape how millions of viewers discover, watch, and experience content; from recommendations and personalization to video quality and content intelligence.

What you’ll be doing

• Design, build and deploy ML models into production for a large-scale video/OTT platform.
• Work on problems like content recommendation, personalization, video quality/encoding optimization, content understanding, or ad-tech targeting.
• Partner with streaming/platform engineering teams to integrate ML systems into live, high-traffic infrastructure.
• Own model performance in production: monitoring, iterating, and improving against real viewer/business metrics.
• Work with large-scale, high-volume media data (viewing behavior, video/audio content, metadata).

Essential

• Proven professional experience applying AI/ML specifically within media, broadcast, or video streaming (OTT). This is a hard requirement , not a nice-to-have.
• Strong production ML engineering skills (Python; TensorFlow/PyTorch or equivalent).
• Solid foundation in software engineering and distributed systems.
• Bachelor’s/Master’s in CS, ML, or related field, or equivalent demonstrable experience.

Nice to have

• Experience with recommendation systems, computer vision on video, or video encoding/ABR streaming.
• Cloud platform experience (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Experience in ad-tech, personalization, or content moderation ML systems.
