Behind the scenes, but ahead of the curve: help us develop the next-generation public broadcaster.

Technology and Infrastructures (T&I) is the backbone and the future forward arm of CBC/Radio-Canada. We are the people that make stuff work. We make connections; between media content, systems, people and places. We are the space in between.

A place with purpose. CBC/Radio-Canada has always been a highly-regarded pioneer of media technology. Not just in Canada, but around the world. Today, we’re transforming ourselves from conventional radio and television broadcaster into a modern digital media company. Technology is the driving force. T&I is the team making it happen.

This is a hybrid role with a mix of in-office and remote work. Work arrangements will be discussed with the hiring managers per departmental guidelines.

What you’ll do?

Reporting to the Product Director, Engineering, you will join the Content Every Day product family. In this role, you will create inclusive, engaging and accessible product experiences for Canadians, informed by clear, measurable key results and delivery expectations.

You will be responsible for managing and delivering one of the backlogs related to CBC/Radio-Canada content production. You will work with your stakeholders, including directors, senior managers and production teams in the department, to identify the biggest problems to solve and the best solutions to employ.
