Maintain an accurate inventory database of all data center devices, cabling, and port assignments.

Develop and maintain support utility scripts in Python and Bash to streamline lab operations and support remote access to lab devices.

Contribute to the maintenance of the team’s Jenkins CI infrastructure as needed, including updating Jenkins packages and plugins, maintaining build scripts (Python/Bash), and occasional triage of build failures.

Familiarity with audio/video cabling, connectors, and optical transceivers (SFP/QSFP) used in broadcast or AV environments is an asset.

Experience with Jenkins or similar CI/CD tools.

Comfortable working in a hands-on lab setting, including racking/unracking equipment, managing cables, and troubleshooting physical connectivity.

Strong organizational skills and attention to detail for maintaining accurate inventory and documentation.

Ability to work independently and prioritize tasks based on engineering team needs.

A willingness to learn new technologies and take ownership of improving existing designs, processes, and tools for the betterment of the product and the team.

Nice to Have: Exposure to broadcast networking, SDI, and SMPTE ST 2110 environments.
