[Hiring] Solution Architect @Maximized Media Potential Vidispine

Role Description

We are looking for a Solution Architect to own the end-to-end technical design of VidiNet solutions for our customers across Europe and beyond. This role combines architecture with hands-on delivery. You will shape solutions with customers before contract, define the target architecture, and then implement the complex parts of it together with the project team through testing and Go-Live.

• Own the solution architecture for VidiNet Media Asset Management engagements, from first customer workshop through Go-Live
• Lead discovery with customers to understand business goals, existing landscape, and constraints, and translate them into a target architecture
• Design end-to-end media workflows (ingest, processing, metadata, storage, distribution) that are scalable, secure, and maintainable
• Define integration architecture with third-party broadcast and media systems, including Active Directory, scheduling platforms, playout, and content delivery networks
• Produce architecture documentation: solution designs, integration specifications, deployment topologies, and non-functional requirements
• Implement complex solution components hands-on together with the project team, including workflow configuration, scripting, and REST API-based integrations
• Take part in system configuration, testing, and commissioning, working directly with customers through validation and Go-Live
• Support pre-sales with technical scoping, effort estimation, and input to proposals, Statements of Work, and Change Requests
• Identify technical risks, assumptions, and dependencies early, and define mitigations before they reach delivery
• Act as technical authority for the project team, guiding Professional Services Engineers and resolving design-level issues
• Review designs and implementations for alignment with the agreed architecture and VidiNet best practices
• Deliver customer workshops, knowledge transfer sessions, and training
• Work closely with product and engineering teams to feed customer requirements into the roadmap and validate fit with platform capabilities
• Contribute to reference architectures, reusable patterns, and continuous improvement of delivery methodologies

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in Professional Services, Solutions Engineering, or System Integration, including at least 3 years in a solution or technical architect role
• Proven track record designing and delivering complex IT or media workflow solutions for enterprise customers
• Experience supporting pre-sales: scoping, estimation, and contributing to commercial proposals
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience

Requirements

• Deep understanding of broadcast and media workflows and media asset management concepts
• Strong knowledge of video/audio codecs, metadata models, formats, and processing pipelines
• Experience designing REST API-based integrations, event-driven architectures, and web services
• Solid understanding of data modelling and SQL / data-driven systems
• Hands-on programming/scripting skills for day-to-day implementation work (JavaScript, Java, Python, C#, or similar)
• Experience with Linux environments, containers (Docker), and Kubernetes
• Strong cloud architecture skills (AWS preferred), including storage, networking, security, and cost considerations
• Ability to define and assess non-functional requirements: scalability, availability, performance, and security

Benefits

• Willingness to travel occasionally (approx. 10%) for customer workshops and key project milestones (Europe and international)
• Work in a dynamic, international environment with high-impact projects

Company Description

• Shape state-of-the-art media technology solutions for customers worldwide
• Work in a highly skilled, collaborative team environment
• Own the technical direction of complex, large-scale media workflows and integrations
• Grow your career in a delivery-focused, innovation-driven organization
