Live and VOD workflows: ingest encoder/transcoder orchestration ABR ladders packaging/manifest generation Secure internal distribution: entitlements by org/role content classification watermarking and retention -event readiness: scaling strategies for all-hands and global broadcasts across mixed networks (office home VPN).

Technical degree or equivalent experience building large-scale distributed backends.
