At SeaChange we use proprietary software to create VOD back office integrations and customize deployment for customers. Currently I support our hardware and software as well as Cloud Based installations and local virtual environments for our customer base both in the America’s and Europe. Part of my support involves Cloud Based streaming, Content Ingest and Enhancements for Set Top Box and Mobile platforms. My group is responsible for end to end support of newly ingested assets all the way to customer facing streaming and billing reconciliation with external vendors. Because of the full range of Back Office support, we also work directly with multiple vendors on a regular basis. As team lead, I regularly assist with general questions from my peers and handle scheduling shift coverage. As part of my daily work we have very direct team interaction that allows a high level of constant cross platform training in our group.
