Own the Airwaves for the NYSE Open. Run a Pro-Level FinTech Broadcast.
About the Role
Tradeify is building the "ESPN for the next generation of traders," and we need a YouTube Livestream Technical Producer to command our daily NYSE 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.
This is a 20-25 hour/week part-time contract.
The Mission
Command the Console: Run the daily NYSE Open livestream (approx. 09:15 ET 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 European session ends.
The Schedule (US Eastern Time - Estimated)
Pre-show prep beginning around 08:45 ET
Live broadcast from approximately 09:15 ET - 11:00 ET
Post-production and clip editing following the live show
What You Bring
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 Americas 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.
