Job Description

Join our team as a Manager II, Support Engineer where you'll lead a passionate team supporting Prime Video's live event operations. You'll manage a team of Live Ops Support Engineers providing production ticket support, engineering development assistance, and monitoring the health of PV's live streaming pipeline. This role offers an enormous opportunity to work across multiple systems, analyzing common issues, and driving teams toward solutions that positively impact customer experience.

Your ability to learn quickly and handle multiple overlapping tasks will define your success in this fast-evolving video ecosystem. You'll maintain a high bar for operational excellence while promoting innovation and ensuring appropriate resources are in place to deliver exceptional live event experiences. As an operational leader, you'll implement continuous improvement processes, define success metrics, and recommend strategies that meet quality, performance, and sustainability criteria.

A day in the life
Your day begins with reviewing overnight event performance and addressing any critical issues that require immediate attention. You'll lead a morning stand-up with your team to prioritize the day's live events and allocate resources appropriately. Throughout the day, you'll monitor ongoing live streams, providing guidance during escalations and coordinating with engineering teams when necessary.

About the team
Our primary goal is delivering stellar viewing experiences for customers by broadcasting 'disruption-free' live events. When issues arise, we prioritize quick mitigation to restore the customer experience rapidly—these are live events, and speed matters!

Beyond daily execution, our team maintains a forward-looking perspective. We plan five quarters ahead to ensure trained teams are ready for all committed events. Our vision involves transitioning to a 'manage-by-exception' model that increases capacity and operational excellence through automation, reducing manual tasks and requiring human intervention only for anomalies that can't be automatically addressed.
