ROSS VIDEO THRIVES IN LIVE PRODUCTION, AND WE NEED YOUR HELP
We have a great group of people working together to create and deliver cutting edge products that look amazing and are easy to use. We go all out so that our customers can have the best possible experience and achieve quality results. With a product focus, continual learning, results driven processes, and creative thinking, we constantly strive to improve our solutions and to deliver results in a way that’s fun and respectful to both ourselves and our customers.
Ross Video, recently recognized as one of Canada’s top 100 companies by MediaCorp is seeking exceptionally talented and motivated professionals to join our Enterprise Management team.
Winning a top 100 award is not easy, it requires excellence in multiple dimensions:

• Employee Engagement
• Work Environment
• Family Friendly Policies
• Compensation and Benefits
• Community engagement
• Training and Development

If that resonates, and you’re someone with integrity, intelligence, and a strong drive to deliver great products, we’d love to hear from you.
WHAT'S IN THE JOB?
We are able to delight our customers with our innovative products because they work better when combined with other Ross products. For example, our production switchers seamlessly integrate with our graphics and replay systems. This is no accident but the result of a sustained commitment to developing our Enterprise Management solutions: DashBoard and Ross Platform Manager. Together, these form the backbone that enables Ross Video to deliver offerings with a 1 + 1 = 3 value proposition. By a conservative estimate around 65% of Ross Video revenues are enabled by the work of our Enterprise Management team.
The Ross Platform Manager in particular is a gateway to consolidating all Ross product solutions. Features you’ll work on include licensing, orchestration, role-based access control, and the migration of our existing solution to a modern framework, React. You will participate in an Agile team, working alongside your colleagues to design, develop and implement enterprise-grade solutions while employing software development best practices including the awareness and detection of code smells, inclusion of design patterns, and committing to delivering the highest quality solutions.
Should you join this team, you’ll become a key part of ensuring that Ross Video’s secret to success continues to enable innovations across all our product lines. You’ll also work with some of the latest development technologies and information security disciplines.
HAVE YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES?
It would be great if you already have expertise in live production.
Your focus on cloud technologies has enabled you to not only advise but lead the charge on cloudifying existing enterprise-grade products and building cloud-native solutions. You are experienced with one or more cloud computing platforms (i.e., AWS), infrastructure as code, and relevant cloud computing concepts in the realm of networking, security, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
You’re passionate about working in Java, and you want to raise the level of excellence of the team both in Java and across the various development tools and framework, such as Eclipse/OSGi, Eclipse Rich Client Platform, Swing, SWT, Java Native Access, and OAuth2.0 to create powerful applications with eye-popping user interfaces.
You need to be able to capture the strategic direction of the product and apply your judgment to define the path forward to meet our customers’ needs. We want you to bring that excitement you crave for exploring new ideas to produce tangible results.
You also need 8+ years of experience (or an amazing display of design and coding maturity if you have less than that). And then there are the cultural requirements.
You need to love learning and progressing your skill set. That means you'll be comfortable talking about your weaknesses just as much as your strengths and working hard on improving will be a daily habit.
You love to experiment and be proactive in developing sound solutions. Being part of an R&D division means that you will help push the boundaries of our understanding through experimentation and exploration effectively driving innovation.
We work in a very collaborative environment, and you enjoy mentoring the other members of the team to always do better. It is vital that you care more about delivering the result than exactly whose ideas achieved it.
That also means you'll need to be interested in the processes, constraints, and systems that help product designs flourish.
WE'RE GROWING FAST
That means we are always looking for better ways to adapt our work environment and processes to meet the high demands of our customers. Our roles morph, we volunteer for extra tasks, we all care a lot about helping good things happen. If you don't like change, you’re in the wrong place. But if you do, then you can be part of an incredible journey.
WHY WORK FOR ROSS VIDEO?
Because we can help you flourish. You will get to develop and deliver cutting edge technological solutions for the entertainment industry. You will be part of the Ross Video team working together to make that happen, and we find that a pretty energizing environment to be a part of.
