Requirements

• Key projects this CW will be working on: RLE Technology projects including Meta Open Content.
• Organizing and managing multi-format (media) production data, such as stereoscopic and volumetric assets.
• Creating a sustainable storage and egress plan that accounts for budget, policy, and redundancy.
• Designing and implementing tiered access workflows for data, catering to various project stakeholders.
• Collaborating with legal, policy, operations, (media) production, and research teams to manage data access.
• Building relationships with external entities, such as open content initiatives and standards bodies.
