About the role

Beast Industries is seeking a Raleigh-based Media Systems Engineer to remotely operate and maintain a data center, own storage and archival infrastructure end to end, and travel to the Greenville, NC studio for hands-on work. The role requires deep experience with media infrastructure in production environments and the ability to support high-demand editorial and production workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Operate and maintain multi-tier storage infrastructure (primary, nearline, and archive) for raw camera footage and finished assets
  • Manage LTO tape library operations end to end: archival writes, verification/checksums, restores, offsite rotation, and media lifecycle
  • Administer SAN/NAS and shared editorial storage platforms, including capacity planning, performance tuning, and monitoring
  • Support and improve backup and disaster recovery strategy across on-prem and cloud tiers
  • Provide remote day-to-day operation and support of our data center: monitoring, alerting, incident response, and vendor coordination
  • Build and administer Linux and Windows servers, virtualization platforms, and core services (Active Directory, DNS, DHCP)
  • Perform hands-on data center work during Greenville visits: racking, cabling, hardware lifecycle, and facility upgrades
  • Support high-bandwidth editorial and production networks: VLANs, subnets, routing/switching, and firewall policies
  • Troubleshoot and optimize network performance for video editing, media transport, and file-acceleration workflows
  • Partner with the team on network design for new builds and studio expansion
  • Manage cloud storage integration and hybrid on-prem/cloud tiering (AWS or equivalent)
  • Support media workflows and asset movement between editorial, archive, and delivery systems
  • Script and automate repetitive infrastructure and media-movement tasks (Python, Bash, or PowerShell)
  • Write and maintain documentation, SOPs, and runbooks so knowledge never lives in just one head

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of systems engineering / systems administration experience in media & entertainment — studio, network, broadcast, or post-production environments (e.g., DreamWorks, NBCUniversal, Netflix, or comparable)
  • Deep hands-on experience with archival workflows and LTO tape libraries (Quantum, Spectra Logic, or similar) and archive software (Archiware, SGL, or equivalent)
  • Strong storage chops: SAN/NAS administration at scale (Avid NEXIS, SNS EVO, PowerScale/Isilon, Qumulo, or similar)
  • Solid networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, VLANs, routing/switching, DNS/DHCP, firewalls, and high-throughput (10/25/100GbE) environments
  • Server administration across Linux and Windows, plus virtualization (VMware, Proxmox, or equivalent) and Active Directory
  • Working knowledge of cloud storage and compute (AWS, GCP, or Azure) in hybrid media environments
  • Ability to support a production data center remotely — strong monitoring, troubleshooting, and on-call discipline
  • Clear communicator who can support creative, non-technical teams under production pressure
  • Must live in (or relocate to) the Raleigh, NC area and be able to travel frequently to Greenville, NC

Benefits

  • Competitive Salary
  • Generous Medical (Blue Cross Blue Shield), Dental, Vision and company-paid Life Insurance
  • Company contributions to employee Health Savings Accounts (HSA)
  • 401k Plan with Safe Harbor company-matching
  • Flexible vacation policy and paid company holidays
  • Company-provided technology package
  • Relocation assistance where applicable, including travel and company-provided housing for the first 90 days
