About the Role
The Systems Engineer is an individual contributor on the Digital Newsroom (DNR) Systems Administration team responsible for the engineering, automation, and operational reliability of the Dalet media-asset-management platform and related production systems in New York and Washington, DC. This backfill position replaces a retiring engineer and restores capacity for scripting, proactive monitoring, data migration, and frontline production support across NY and DC.
Responsibilities
- Administer and troubleshoot the Dalet MAM environment in NY and DC — including Dalet Admin Tool configuration, BPM workflows, proxy generation, WebSpace, Wowza load balancers, workflow servers, and ingest/recording components (Brio).
- Resolve escalated production issues: proxy-not-generating failures, media sync problems, ZID-to-DCID transfer errors, mount failures, TRINT workflow disruption, and slug/metadata special-character recording failures.
- Configure Dalet Admin Tool settings and BPM rules to prevent recurring operational failures (e.g., illegal-character handling, recording-stuck conditions).
- Support restricted-folder lifecycle, asset restore/purge requests, and media-desk coordination for NY and DC editorial workflows.
- Partner with Dalet iCare/support on complex escalations; document root cause and remediation in ServiceNow (DNRNYD) and Confluence.
- Develop, maintain, and extend production monitoring and remediation scripts (PowerShell and Bash) covering recurring Dalet failure modes — Brio recording stuck, MDS/MDD agent health, AuditTrail freshness, BPM thresholds, NetXchange agents, WebSpace/Wowza restarts, send-to-NEXIO catchers, EDL agent errors, and DST offset checks.
- Tie monitoring automation to tracked DNRNYD tickets with documented thresholds, alert logic, and remediation steps.
- Contribute to the team's proactive monitoring posture and eventual integration with broader observability initiatives (e.g., Grafana).
- Apply Python and modern tooling to extend operational automation where practical.
- Support Object Store-to-Mimir image and metadata migration work — including XML mappings, JSON watch-folder definitions, VOS re-tagging, shared-asset import logic, and batch validation.
- Execute and validate large-scale content and metadata migrations (e.g., transcript backfill, person/non-person image regeneration) with minimal production impact.
- Participate in Mimir Phase 2 and Pyramid platform testing — TestRail case authoring, post-upgrade retesting in DEV and PROD, and permissions/workflow validation with platform owners.
- Support Project Fresh Start and Dalet upgrade activities (MFP testing, MS-SQL maintenance, version upgrades) as assigned.
- Own or support recurring production delivery workflows — including the Fox News Sunday Hulu unified-delivery package (format updates, captioning conversions, container changes, illegal-character handling, and external QA coordination).
- Administer Linux systems supporting Dalet and related DNR infrastructure in NY and DC.
- Perform MS-SQL queries and data tasks tied to Dalet metadata, migration, and reporting workflows.
- Transform and validate XML metadata for ingest, migration, and platform-integration use cases.
- Provide frontline and weekend production support for NY and DC Dalet users — editors, media desk, library, and operations teams.
- Respond to ServiceNow incidents and requests; maintain clear written documentation in Confluence for systems, scripts, and troubleshooting procedures.
- Collaborate with peer DNR engineers (Mimir, Pyramid, ingest, editing platform) and BMT teams on cross-platform initiatives.
- Participate in on-call and weekend coverage rotation aligned to live news production schedules.
- Work a flexible schedule including evenings, weekends, and maintenance windows as required.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- 3–5+ years of systems engineering, Linux administration, or broadcast/media platform support experience.
- Hands-on experience with Dalet Galaxy / Dalet Plus or comparable MAM platforms strongly preferred.
- Proficiency in PowerShell and Bash scripting; ability to build and maintain production monitoring automation.
- Working knowledge of Linux administration, MS-SQL, XML/metadata workflows, and basic networking.
- Experience supporting live production or newsroom editorial environments.
- Strong troubleshooting skills, attention to detail, and ownership through completion.
- Clear written and verbal communication; comfortable partnering with vendors, editorial staff, and engineering teams.
