About Backstage

Backstage is the largest talent marketplace for the entertainment industry, media, brand marketers, and other content creators, matching their creative projects with the best actors, voiceover artists, production crew, and other industry professionals. Employers around the world use our best-in-class technology to staff over 50,000 creative projects a year in film, television, commercials, branded content, theater, experiential marketing, and more.

Backstage is the only platform that services the entire content creation ecosystem, providing a one-stop shop for productions to source, hire, and pay right-fit talent for any project, anywhere. We recognize creatives as the beating heart of our brand, and we have a core mission to break down barriers for entry to careers in the entertainment industry by connecting talent to the best jobs, networking opportunities, and educational resources.

Crucial to that mission is our ongoing commitment to harnessing the latest technology to design innovative digital tools that promote more diverse, equitable, and inclusive hiring practices and facilitate more authentic, successful storytelling. We’re a team of customer-centric, data-driven, forward-thinking, strategic problem-solvers with a passion for helping our customers and members make amazing things together.

About TCS

TCS' mission is to empower creative talent and streamline the content creation process for projects in film, television, commercials/branded content, social media, theater, music video, video games, and more. We provide solutions that manage the entire project lifecycle, including talent discovery and staffing, production, post production, and distribution. Our brands include Backstage, Coverfly, FilmFreeway, Final Draft, ShareGrid, and Voice123.

TCS is the creative services division of Cast & Crew, a family of individually innovative companies modernizing the ways in which content is created.

The Role:

Backstage is seeking a DevOps Engineer to monitor, maintain, and improve Backstage’s infrastructure, processes, and tooling. Backstage’s product and engineering team encompasses thirty high-performance engineers, designers, product managers, and quality assurance resources. We value curiosity, trust, and impact, and we foster a culture of constant learning and improvement where teammates work together to accomplish user-focused initiatives.

Our process is a modified Kanban process with the goal of delivering incremental value to the customer. Products are workshopped and then broken into milestones, with estimates driven by engineers, not managers. We support autonomy and trust our engineers to pick the best tools suited for their tasks, while working collaboratively towards mutual goals. In line with our goal to continue delivering value to the customer, we release multiple times a day, every day, and adhere to a robust QA and code review process before any code is released.

As a DevOps Engineer, you will play a critical role in ensuring the reliability, performance, and scalability of our systems. We operate on a Python/Django back end with a React/Typescript front end.
