  • Intermediate knowledge of REST API principles and the interconnections between different computer systems
  • Knowledge of Vantage, Aspera, Avid, FFmpeg, Postman, Elasticsearch and Mongo a definite asset

  • Ability to collaborate with other business areas (computing, maintenance, networking, media and digital production) in order to align all aspects of our media and IT infrastructure with business requirements
  • Most assignments involve direct daily contact with CBC/Radio-Canada employees of different technical skill levels; strong communication skills (both written and oral) and good negotiation abilities are therefore key for this position
  • Technical leadership experience
  • Ability to draft complex reports and presentations requiring thoroughness, attention to detail and accuracy in calculations and writing
  • Ability to exercise sound judgment, work independently and take initiative
