Senior DevOps Engineer (AWS)

We are rebuilding Tennis Channel’s digital experience from the ground up — mobile apps, TV apps, content management, analytics, monitoring, and eventually live and VOD video delivery. AWS will be our core cloud platform.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior AWS Platform / DevOps Engineer to design, deploy, and operate the backbone of our new streaming platform. You will own our AWS environment end-to-end : infrastructure, automation, observability, and security.

As our first DevOps hire, you’ll work directly with the Head of Engineering (ex-Amazon, ex-Prime Video) and a small, senior development team. This is a hands-on role where you’ll set up environments, implement automation, enforce security best practices, and establish standards that future engineers will follow. Along the way, you’ll help build a greenfield streaming platform with no legacy constraints, while making infrastructure decisions that will power experiences for millions of fans worldwide. This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with proven leaders, shape the foundation of a new digital ecosystem, and play a pivotal role in the relaunch of Tennis Channel’s direct-to-consumer business.

This role is based in Seattle.
