About Us:

ROCKET is a growing technology company with more than a decade of success delivering projects, services and solutions of all shapes for broadcasters and media companies of all sizes.

We specialize in building out powerful media pipeline, management, automation, and production solutions by combining innovative thinking, hands-on collaboration, service-forward client interaction, and solid design and implementation fundamentals combined with diverse and hard-earned industry experience. Video, audio, data; live, to tape; remote, on-prem, on-cloud – we've done it and we've got a story to tell (and some we can't).

Our work includes partnerships and projects with world-class sports and entertainment entities, boutique production and distribution players, educational institutions, houses of worship, and anyone else who comes to us with a challenge. From small tasks to multi-year projects, from conception and design to delivery, handover, and support, we leverage our alignment and tight co-operation with best-in-class application, appliance, and platform vendors around the world to get our clients what they need, how and when they need it.

And now we're expanding.

​

Okay, So What Now?

Well, in order to expand, we need your talent.


Did you get into the industry to solve problems? Like working with a dynamic team of driven folks with broad skillsets doing what it takes to design and deliver the best product? Love whiteboarding, collaboration, sharing ideas, and bringing innovation to bear on media challenges old and new? Enjoy feeling like the work you do is empowering other talented people? Like celebrating wins and working on a team who are all pulling in the same direction?

Want to take on a new kind of broadcast and media engineering in a changing industry?

Are you the best on your team? Always relied upon in crunch-time? Want to work with a team of similar achievers and get credit and appreciation for what you bring to the table?

Want a mentor? Want help avoiding the mistakes we've made and seen in our career? Need a guy with a big beard to whom you can vent?

At ROCKET we want folks whose first inclination is to say "yes, you can do that - here's how". "We can make that happen, let us show you." "Sounds like a challenge, let's sit down and figure it out." "Okay, let's start."

What's more fun than that?

​

What You'll Do:

  • Flex your media skillset on challenges large and small.

​

  • Innovate at the rate of the industry, onboarding new technology and figuring out how it can improve the workflows of our clientele.

​

  • Work with our internal team and a diverse client-base to develop, design, and deliver bespoke solutions for the folks who do the work.

​

  • Collaborate with industry leading media companies across North American and beyond.

​

  • Thrive in a continuous learning environment where information and innovation are shared and all ideas are welcome.

​

  • Get involved in the business from A to Z. No more silos, no more living in the dark, no more wondering what is going on.

​

  • Work in a dynamic Toronto neighbourhood with everything you need within walking distance.

​

What We're Looking For:

  • Top problem solvers with industry experience.

​

  • Knowledge of live production and an understanding of media demands. The show goes to air when it goes to air, ready or not – let's make sure it's ready!

​

  • Understanding of the cool stuff: ST-2110 signal distribution, network and application orchestration, production and master control automation, HDR and WCG, virtual and augmented production.

​

  • Familiarity with industry players in vendor, broadcaster, media spaces. Who has great stuff? Who is pushing the industry? Seen anything cool lately?

​

  • Ability to interface directly with clients in service of their needs – the more we understand their ask the better we can respond to it. Be curious!

​

  • Communication experts. We thrive on sharing. You like making the work visible. You like explainers and summaries, white boards and diagrams.

​

Bonus Points For:

  • Prior media project delivery experience. Hairier the better.

​

  • Familiarity with broadcast facilities: from acquisition to production and distribution to presentation.

​

  • Coding and automation ability. C# a huge plus.

​

  • Expertise in media delivery pipelines – point A to point Z and everything in-between.

​

  • Knowledge of virtualisation and containerisation technologies.

​

  • Comfort with media asset movement and management strategies and platforms.

​

  • Knowledge of signal and application orchestration platforms.

​

  • Troubleshooting experience in media environments.

​

  • AWS/Azure experience.

​

Why Join Us:

​

  • Get out of your silo! We do whatever it takes to solve a challenge. Flex your entire skillset!

​

  • No more arguing with folks who don't understand the work you do! We get it! We've lived it!

​

  • No swim lanes, no gurus, no limits. Flexible company structure with unending opportunity to grow your career, build out a broad toolkit, and enjoy coming to work every day
