Systems Integration and Operational Technology Consultant

Support the evolution, maintenance, enhancement, and operational sustainment of the existing Python-based conference-system control and meeting-management environment used for Televic (Conference System)-based operations, under the technical direction of the Chief of EPM.

Assume technical responsibility for conference and room-management applications, backend services, integrations, databases, automation components, and related software tools managed by SEC/EPM and SEC/ISD.

Design, implement, test, and sustain integrations among in-person conference systems, virtual and hybrid participation platforms, interpretation environments, recording systems, IP-based AV systems, internal applications, and third-party platforms using APIs, WebSockets, SDKs, message-based interfaces, and other approved methods.

Work with external vendors, manufacturers, and technology providers to define requirements, review and validate interfaces, identify limitations, and pursue technical improvements required for operational use cases.

Develop and maintain backend services, scripts, daemons, middleware, automation tools, monitoring utilities, synchronization services, data connectors, and metadata-capture components required for system orchestration and operational workflows.

Adapt, package, configure, deploy, monitor, and maintain software solutions across approved Linux, Windows, containerized, and other operational environments, ensuring reliability, security, compatibility, supportability, and maintainability.

Improve conference-room management capabilities, including room configuration, meeting preparation, system-status monitoring, operational readiness, technical logging, and centralized management of supported spaces.

Support digital recording and meeting-data solutions capable of capturing timestamps, speaker information, participant activity, language-channel information, synchronization markers, and other structured metadata required for transcription, search, retrieval, analysis, and downstream processing.

Perform technical prototyping, proof-of-concept development, laboratory validation, integration testing, production-oriented testing, advanced troubleshooting, performance analysis, and root-cause analysis, and implement approved automation and AI-enabled solutions for meeting management, transcription, document review, metadata extraction, semantic search, operational analytics, and knowledge retrieval.

Document software architecture, data flows, interface logic, dependencies, deployment procedures, security considerations, operational constraints, support requirements, and best practices; maintain appropriate software lifecycle practices; provide knowledge transfer; and support other related assignments under the responsibilities of SEC/EPM or SEC/ISD.

Education : Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent advanced degree, in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, Information Technology, Electrical Engineering, or another field relevant to the responsibilities of the role.

Experience: At least two years of progressively responsible experience in software development, systems integration, backend development, application integration, or a related technical role. The candidate must demonstrate strong programming fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, concurrency, process and memory management, inter-process communication, networking, debugging, and software design. Experience should extend beyond conventional web application development and include the ability to analyze, modify, compile, integrate, and troubleshoot software at the operating-system, protocol, service, or device-interface level. Advanced proficiency in Python is required, together with demonstrated capability to work with compiled and systems-oriented software when needed.

Languages: Proficiency in English, both spoken and written, is required.

Programming and Backend Development: Advanced Python proficiency is a minimum requirement. Hands-on experience developing and troubleshooting backend services, workers, daemons, automation scripts, connectors, middleware, and operational utilities is required, along with the ability to work with compiled or lower-level software when needed.

Linux and Platform Administration: Strong hands-on Linux administration and software deployment experience is required, including installing, configuring, compiling, packaging, deploying, troubleshooting, and maintaining software across different hardware and operating environments. Familiarity with NVIDIA DGX Spark or comparable GPU-enabled platforms is desirable.

Systems Integration and APIs: Strong experience with REST APIs, WebSockets, Server-Sent Events, SDKs, message-based interfaces, serial or IP communications, and other interoperability methods.

Software Architecture: Strong understanding of modular design, middleware, service orchestration, event-driven systems, process interaction, concurrency, and maintainable backend development.

Data and Databases: Experience with structured data and metadata, including timestamps, event markers, synchronization logic, logs, and machine-readable exchange. Experience with at least one SQL relational database, such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQL Server, and one additional persistence technology, such as Redis, MongoDB, or a lightweight local database, is required.

DevOps and Deployment: Experience with Git, dependency and package management, virtual environments, containers, service deployment, testing, CI/CD concepts, release management, monitoring, and rollback procedures.

Networking: Good understanding of Linux networking, IP systems, ports, protocols, routing, authentication, certificates, and troubleshooting.

Digital Recording and Media Workflows: Experience with Dante-based audio recording, audio-file management, media synchronization, structured recording metadata, or speech-to-text pipelines is highly desirable.

Vendor Integration: Ability to work with manufacturers, software vendors, and technology partners to clarify requirements, validate interfaces, identify limitations, and coordinate technical improvements.
