Job Description
Own the Airwaves for the London Open. Run a Pro-Level FinTech Broadcast.
About the Role: Tradeify is building the "CNBC for the next generation of traders," and we need a Technical Director to command our daily London Open broadcast. You aren't just hitting "Go Live"—you are the architect of the show's technical execution. You will own the video pipeline, manage real-time remote guest feeds, and execute precision switching during high-volatility market moments.
You will work directly with our US Technical Lead to ensure a seamless "follow-the-sun" handover between the London and New York sessions.
The Mission:
- Command the Console: Run the daily London Open livestream (approx. 07:45 GMT start), switching scenes, triggering graphics, and managing audio levels in real-time.
- Master the Feeds: Use VDO.Ninja (or similar) to bring in remote hosts and guests with zero latency and broadcast-grade quality.
- Build the Pipeline: Optimize OBS scene collections, stinger transitions, and NDI/audio routing to ensure a glitch-free experience for 40,000+ traders.
- Post-Production Speed: Immediately following the live show, you will cut "best-of" segments and Shorts to dominate the algorithm before the US session begins.
- The Handoff: seamless technical transition to the US team for the New York Open (approx. 13:15 GMT).
The Schedule (UK Time - Estimated):
- Elite OBS Skills: You don't just use OBS; you know nested scenes, source mirrors, stream decks, and plugins inside out.
- Remote Guest Engineering: Deep experience with VDO.Ninja, vMix Call, or ZoomISO. You understand mix-minus, bandwidth management, and how to make remote guests look like they are in the studio.
- Audio Routing: Familiarity with virtual audio cables (Voicemeeter, Loopback) to manage complex PC audio and comms (Discord/Slack) without feedback loops.
- Calm Under Pressure: Markets move fast. If a feed drops 30 seconds before a major economic announcement, you are the calmest person in the room fixing it.
Why Join Tradeify?
- High Autonomy: You are the Technical Lead for the European time zone.
- Fintech Growth: Join a fast-moving team that is redefining financial media.
- Pro Gear Budget: We ensure you have the hardware needed to produce a top-tier stream.
- Salary: £40,000 - £48,000 / year
£40,000 - £48,000 a year
