Live broadcast and cloud media production infrastructure
Grass Valley manufactures and distributes broadcast equipment and cloud production platforms for live media. The tech stack reflects legacy broadcast hardware (C++17, SMPTE ST 2110, NDI, PTC CAD tools) paired with modern cloud infrastructure adoption—Kubernetes and Ubuntu are actively being brought into a Docker/Jenkins CI/CD pipeline. Engineering dominates the hiring mix and projects show internal migration work (Prometheus/Grafana observability, K3s deployment, backup automation), indicating infrastructure modernization to support uptime-critical live workflows.
Grass Valley is a Montreal-headquartered manufacturer and platform provider for live media production, serving top-tier media producers, broadcasters, and sports platforms. The company operates across three main areas: IP-native broadcast hardware (cameras, encoders, distribution equipment), live production control software, and cloud-based playout and streaming platforms. With over 60 years in the broadcast space, Grass Valley serves both on-premises installations (media centers, mobile units, newsrooms) and cloud-native deployments. The organization spans 1,001–5,000 employees globally, with engineering, sales, and support operations in Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
Core stack: C++17, Docker, Jenkins, Linux, SMPTE ST 2110 (broadcast standard), NDI (video transport), and SAP. Currently adopting Kubernetes and Ubuntu. CAD/design tools include PTC Creo, Windchill, and SolidWorks. CRM is Salesforce.
Active projects include broadcast IP infrastructure solutions, Kubernetes (K3s) cluster deployment, observability stack maintenance (Prometheus/Grafana/Kibana), mechanical design file migration, backup & recovery automation, and third-party system integration. Work shows infrastructure modernization and live workflow optimization.
