DevOps/SRE Team Lead

About Telestream

Telestream is a leading provider of digital media tools and software solutions for the broadcast, streaming, and media industries. We empower content creators and distributors to produce and deliver high-quality video content while optimizing operations and maximizing revenue. Our teams work diligently to innovate and support world-class services, and we are seeking a DevOps/SRE Team Lead with proven, hands-on Kubernetes expertise to drive the reliability and scalability of our video processing infrastructure and oversee a small team of SRE’s and DevOps Engineers.  

This is a deeply technical lead role, requiring real-world experience administering production Kubernetes clusters—not theoretical familiarity. You will own CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and cloud platform operations in a fully remote environment where independent execution is essential. If you have built, broken, and fixed things in Kubernetes at scale, while managing and mentoring a team, we want to hear from you. 

Location: US Remote

Work Authorization - Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States. This role is not eligible for employer-sponsored work authorization or visa sponsorship of any kind, now or in the future.

***OUR INTERVIEW PROCESS***

Our process includes a live, hands-on technical interview conducted via shared terminal and screen share. You will be asked to work through real Kubernetes and infrastructure scenarios in real time—no take-home exercises, no slides. Candidates who are comfortable with the skills listed above will do well. Candidates who are not, will find this stage difficult to navigate. We value people who are direct about what they know and what they’re still learning.
