A day in the life
At AWS Elemental MediaTailor, no two days are quite the same, but here's what you might experience: Your morning starts with deep diving into a tricky ad insertion bug that has been escalated to the team. Just before lunch, you join the team standup where you sync with colleagues across time zones on the latest developments for your team's projects. After lunch, you could be working on a design document for a new feature that enables dynamic ad replacement in live sports events, weighing trade-offs between different architectural approaches. Later, you might mentor a new teammate on how to debug a complex issue where ad insertion is failing only for certain devices, requiring you to analyze MediaTailor's internal logs. Throughout the day, you'll be working with native AWS components, collaborating with teammates, and making decisions that directly impact the streaming experience of viewers worldwide. The fast-paced nature of the streaming industry means you'll constantly be learning and adapting to new challenges while working with a team that's passionate about video technology.
