Role overview:

We’re looking for a Senior Pipeline Developer to help design, build and implement the Open Digital Asset (ODA) platform — a framework for exchanging standardized, high-fidelity 3D assets across studios and pipelines.  

The ODA mission is to drastically reduce technical barriers and complexity in sharing 3D assets across the Sony Entertainment landscape, thereby unlocking creative collaboration and transmedia production opportunities. Following from an initial prototype and then establishing a low-friction asset exchange across Sony Entertainment, the program aims to promote adoption further across the wider industry. The Open Digital Asset project is built on the belief that harnessing universal standards for interchange and collaboration in digital media is instrumental for the industry as a whole.

Working under our Principal Engineer, you’ll get hands-on experience with complex production assets, help turn exploratory prototypes into robust tooling, and collaborate closely with engineers, and creative stakeholders across animation, VFX, and games.

This role sits at the intersection of USD architecture, real-world studio pipelines, and open standards. If you enjoy solving messy interoperability problems, care deeply about the benefit of standards, and want your work to make an impact on the industry at large, then this role is for you.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Design, implement, and refine USD-based tooling for packaging, validating, transforming, and exchanging production assets
• Work directly with real production data (characters, props, environments) to ensure solutions hold up at scale and under real constraints
• Develop Python APIs and command-line tools that translate studio-specific asset representations into standardized ODA packages — and back again
• Help evolve ODA’s prim-hierarchy–centric approach, including variant preservation, LOD handling, and layer reduction strategies

skills is all in a day’s work—we invite you to apply.

Snapshot of the Role:

We’re looking for a Staff Infrastructure  Engineer who operates as a technical leader and force multiplier across the platform. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who designs systems that scale beyond a single team, sets technical direction, and elevates how infrastructure is built and operated across MasterClass.

You’ll lead and provide direction for  cloud infrastructure, developer platforms, video infrastructure, and emerging AI/ML infrastructure—partnering closely with product engineering, content production, data, and AI teams. This role is ideal for someone who combines deep systems expertise with strong software engineering, thrives in ambiguity, and takes ownership from strategy through execution.

This is not a people-management role, but it carries significant technical leadership responsibility.

What You Will Do:

• Set technical direction for core infrastructure systems, balancing reliability, scalability, security, and developer velocity.
• Design and lead implementation of complex, cross-team infrastructure initiatives (AWS, EKS, CI/CD, shared platforms).
• Build production-grade software to power infrastructure automation, tooling, and internal platforms.
• Drive org-wide improvements in observability, incident response, reliability engineering, and cost efficiency.
• Lead video infrastructure initiatives  to evolve video delivery and CDN strategies for global scale and performance.
• Partner with AI and Data teams to define and build GPU-powered infrastructure, model-serving platforms, and GenAI inference/training workflows.
• Act as a technical mentor and reviewer, raising the bar for infrastructure design and operational excellence across teams.
• Lead by example during incidents, postmortems, and critical architectural decisions.

About You (Requirements):

• 10+ years building and operating cloud-native production systems.
• Strong expertise in:
  • AWS architecture and large-scale cloud operations
  • Kubernetes / EKS (networking, RBAC, Helm, autoscaling, cluster-level debugging)
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred)
  • CI/CD and automation (GitHub Actions, Argo, or similar)
• Proven ability to design and build infrastructure software, not just operate systems.
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, networking, Linux internals, and cloud security.
• A track record of driving step-function improvements in reliability, scalability, or developer experience.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to influence technical decisions across teams.

Who You Are

• You think in systems and leverage, not just tasks.
• You care deeply about craftsmanship, clarity, and long-term maintainability.
• You enjoy solving ambiguous, cross-functional technical problems.
• You’re pragmatic—you optimize for impact over novelty.
• You raise the bar through mentorship, design reviews, and thoughtful collaboration.
• You’re energized by both strategic architecture and hands-on implementation.

Nice To Haves

• AI/ML infrastructure, GPU scheduling, or distributed training
• Model serving frameworks (e.g., Triton, vLLM, TensorRT-LLM)
• Infrastructure autoscaling strategies, including application workloads, databases, and GenAI workloads
• KEDA, Karpenter, service mesh, or multi-cluster architectures
• HLS/DASH packaging or video encoding pipelines
  
  

  Nice-to-haves are not required; each represents a direction in which our infrastructure is evolving.

At MasterClass, we believe we put our best work forward when our employees bring together ideas that are diverse in thought. We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, genetic information, veteran status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state or local law.

The Production Services Technician (PST) role is a vital cornerstone of the facility, responsible for securing, manipulating, and managing production data throughout all stages of the production life cycle. PSTs collaborate with multiple departments to refine workflows, establish procedure guidelines, and ensure operational efficiency. Their work is critical to the success of every show, directly impacting all departments. PSTs are vital to the filmmaking process and essential to maintaining the integrity and efficiency of the pipeline.

PSTs are not just responsible for managing tasks like cue management, backups, and data transfer, but also building, maintaining, and optimizing the tools and pipelines that drive these processes. By developing and modifying python tools and scripts throughout the course of a show, PSTs ensure that these tasks become seamless and efficient, even during high-pressure crunch times. The true value of a PST lies in their ability to automate and streamline workflows, making complex tasks effortless, preventing bottlenecks, and ensuring that production remains uninterrupted and efficient, no matter the scale.

With deep expertise in the facility's departments, pipeline, and workflows, PSTs gain invaluable exposure across production, positioning them as strong candidates for career advancement and diverse opportunities within the company. Many former PSTs have advanced into prominent positions, including production management, technical direction, software development, systems engineering, and artist roles. This position provides a unique opportunity to build a broad skill set, paving the way for long-term career growth. For more information about the PST program, please watch our recruiting video.

Key Responsibilities:

• Pipeline Optimization and Tool Development: Leverage software engineering to optimize critical tools and pipelines for tasks such as render farm management, media manipulation, reviews, client/vendor ingest, and deliveries, automating processes to ensure seamless workflows, eliminate bottlenecks, and maintain production efficiency, even during high-pressure crunch times.
