- Ability to travel to live events and Prime Video Live Sports offices, including evenings and weekends.
- Experience communicating with technical and non-technical audiences.
Responsibilities
- Manage technical project lifecycles from pre-production through post-event wrap.
- Coordinate across production operations, graphics, audio, comms, and cloud engineering.
- Maintain and upgrade Prime Video broadcast infrastructure and field equipment.
- Develop and maintain operational runbooks, SOPs, and system configuration documentation.
- Plan and execute remote deployments end-to-end, including logistics and readiness confirmation.

Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
