What is a DevOps Engineer at The Nielsen?
At The Nielsen, a DevOps Engineer plays a critical role in powering the global audience measurement and data analytics engines that the media industry relies on. Every day, The Nielsen processes massive volumes of data from millions of endpoints to deliver trusted insights to broadcasters, advertisers, and content creators. The infrastructure supporting these operations must be incredibly resilient, highly scalable, and highly secure. As a DevOps Engineer, you are responsible for building, maintaining, and optimizing this foundational cloud infrastructure.
You will work closely with software developers, data engineers, and product managers to accelerate software delivery cycles through modern CI/CD pipelines, robust test automation, and infrastructure-as-code (IaC). Because The Nielsen handles highly sensitive consumer and business data, security and compliance are woven into every layer of your design. Whether you are provisioning cloud resources, containerizing legacy systems, or optimizing multi-region database replication, your work directly impacts the speed and reliability of the data products delivered to global clients.
This role is both challenging and rewarding because of the sheer scale of the engineering environment. You will tackle complex problems related to high-throughput data pipelines, cloud migration, and hybrid-cloud management. For an engineer who thrives on solving real-world scalability challenges and automating away manual tasks, this position offers an exceptional opportunity to make a tangible business impact.
