Canada's public broadcaster modernizing for streaming and digital-first audiences
Radio-Canada operates a multi-platform broadcast network (5,001–10,000 employees) across radio, television, web, and mobile with deep roots in Canadian media since 1936. The tech stack reveals a media-operations organization in transition: heavy use of Avid (broadcast editing), H.264/H.265/AV1 (video codecs), and SAP (enterprise resource planning) paired with modern cloud infrastructure (Azure, Kubernetes, Docker), plus adoption of server-side analytics and video-over-IP implementations. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 155 open roles (74 in the last 30 days), weighted toward engineering (29) and media/production (41), signaling active investment in digital transformation and automation.
Notable leadership hires: Engineering Project Lead, Integrated Account Lead, Head of Content and Production, Switcher/Director, Switcher Director
