Description

You will be joining GlobalLogic’s Media and Entertainment (M&E) practice, a specialized team within a leading digital engineering company. Our practice is at the forefront of the media industry’s technological evolution, partnering with the world’s largest broadcasters, content creators, and distributors. We have a proven track record of engineering complex solutions, including cloud-based OTT platforms (like VOS360), Media/Production Asset Management (MAM/PAM) systems, software-defined broadcast infrastructure, and innovative contribution/distribution workflows.

This engagement is for a landmark cloud transformation project for a major client in the media sector. The objective is to architect the strategic migration of a large-scale linear broadcasting platform from its current foundation on AWS to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). You will be a key advisor on a project aimed at modernizing critical broadcast operations, enhancing efficiency, and building a future-proof cloud architecture.

Requirements

We are seeking a seasoned cloud professional with a deep understanding of both cloud infrastructure and the unique demands of the media industry.

• Expert-Level OCI Experience: Proven hands-on experience designing, building, and managing complex enterprise workloads on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
• Cloud Migration Expertise: Demonstrable experience architecting and leading at least one significant cloud-to-cloud migration project, preferably from AWS to OCI.
• Strong Architectural Acumen: Deep understanding of cloud architecture principles across compute, storage, networking, security, and identity/access management.
• Client-Facing & Consulting Skills: Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the ability to act as a credible and trusted advisor to senior-level clients.
• Media & Entertainment Domain Knowledge (Highly Preferred): Experience with broadcast and media workflows is a significant advantage. Familiarity with concepts like linear channel playout, live video streaming, media asset management (MAM), and IP video standards (e.g., SMPTE 2110) is highly desirable.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Proficiency with IaC tools, particularly Terraform, for automating OCI environment provisioning.
• Professional Certifications: An OCI Architect Professional certification is strongly preferred. Equivalent certifications in AWS are also valued.

Job responsibilities

As the OCI Architect, you will be the primary technical authority and trusted advisor for this cloud migration initiative. Your responsibilities will include:

• Migration Strategy & Planning: Assess the client’s existing AWS-based media workflows and architect a comprehensive, phased migration strategy to OCI.
• Architecture Design: Design a secure, scalable, resilient, and cost-efficient OCI architecture tailored for demanding, 24/7 linear broadcast operations. This includes defining compute, storage, networking (including IP video transport), and security models.
• Technical Leadership: Serve as the subject matter expert on OCI for both the client and GlobalLogic engineering teams, providing hands-on guidance, best practices, and technical oversight.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Effectively communicate complex architectural concepts and migration plans to senior client stakeholders, technical teams, and project managers.
• Proof of Concept (PoC) Execution: Lead and participate in PoCs to validate architectural designs and de-risk critical components of the migration.
• Cost Optimization: Develop cost models and identify opportunities for optimizing operational expenses on OCI, ensuring the solution is commercially viable.
• Documentation: Create and maintain high-quality documentation, including architectural diagrams, design specifications, and operational runbooks.
