Streaming Media Assistant in Remote Worker

Job Position(s): Streaming Media Assistant in Remote Worker

Disney is hiring a Streaming Media Assistant for a remote position based in California, serving its direct-to-consumer streaming operations across Disney+, ESPN+, and Star+. This role sits within the Media Operations department, where the team handles around-the-clock live and on-demand streaming video orchestration, system health monitoring, and incident management using proprietary broadcast and delivery software. It suits a technically grounded operations professional who is comfortable working non-standard hours and thrives in a live broadcast environment where uptime and accuracy are not negotiable.

About the Role

The Media Operations department at Disney Streaming runs 24/7 to support the full streaming pipeline across multiple global products, from live sports on ESPN+ to on-demand content across the Disney+ library. As a Streaming Media Assistant, your day involves monitoring platform health, coordinating live event workflows, and executing VOD streaming media processes through internal tooling. This is a hands-on technical operations role, not a project management seat, and the work directly affects what millions of subscribers see on screen.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor system health across live and on-demand streaming video products, escalating incidents according to established operational protocols.
• Execute live streaming media orchestration using proprietary software as part of a 24/7 staffed operations team.
• Provide real-time operational support for partner products including ESPN+, Disney+, and Star+, covering both live event delivery and VOD workflow management.
• Perform daily processes and procedures within the streaming post-production and delivery pipeline, maintaining accuracy across all platforms.
• Document incidents and operational notes with the level of detail required to support handoffs across a round-the-clock shift structure.
• Respond to platform irregularities during nights, weekends, and holidays as part of a rotating schedule covering the full broadcast calendar.

What You Bring

• A solid understanding of computer systems and media applications relevant to streaming or broadcast operations workflows.
• Experience in live broadcast, streaming media, or a related digital media operations environment is preferred.
• Demonstrated attention to detail in a production or technical operations context where errors have real downstream consequences.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills suited to shift handoffs and incident reporting.
• Availability to work flexible hours including nights, weekends, and holidays without exception.
