[Hiring] CMS & DAM Engineer @Solvd

Role Description

We are looking for a CMS & DAM Engineer to join a greenfield digital news platform build for a major international news brand. There is no legacy system, no migration burden — this is a new platform built from scratch, video-first and breaking-news-first, designed to sustain extreme traffic during major events and support complete newsroom workflows from draft to publish.

You'll own the CMS configuration and digital asset management layer end-to-end — from content models and editorial workflows through DAM taxonomy, rights management, and integrations with video, search, and distribution services. This is a full-lifecycle engagement: discovery, build, launch, and multi-year support.

What you'll do

• CMS Configuration & Development
  • Configure and develop the selected CMS platform — AEM or Amplience.
  • Implement content models, templates, components, and editorial configurations.
  • Configure authoring, approval, scheduling, and publishing workflows to support full newsroom operations.
  • Support breaking-news and major-event editorial capabilities, including homepage mode-switching under high traffic.
  • Implement taxonomy and structured-content models.
  • Configure permissions and newsroom roles.
  • Implement preview and publishing capabilities.
  • Develop CMS extensions where native functionality does not meet requirements.
  • Integrate CMS with DAM, search, video, and downstream distribution services.
  • Support testing, editorial training, and production stabilization.
• Digital Asset Management
  • Own the design and configuration of digital asset management workflows end-to-end.
  • Define image and video metadata structures, taxonomy, credits, captions, source, and rights metadata.
  • Design embargo, licence, and expiration management workflows.
  • Establish image rendition, crop, and focal-point workflows.
  • Define duplicate and near-duplicate asset handling approaches.
  • Design asset usage and reference tracking.
  • Establish replacement, restriction, and takedown workflows.
  • Integrate DAM with CMS, video pipeline, and distribution services.
  • Support asset migration, editorial training, and operational governance.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience configuring and developing on AEM or Amplience in a production environment.
• Experience implementing content models, editorial workflows, and publishing pipelines for a content-heavy platform.
• Strong understanding of DAM concepts — metadata, taxonomy, rights management, renditions, and asset lifecycle.
• Experience integrating CMS and DAM systems with third-party services — video platforms, search, CDN, or distribution APIs.
• Ability to configure permissions and role-based access for multi-user editorial teams.
• Experience working on structured, phased delivery programmes with clear milestones and launch targets.
• Strong communication skills — able to work with editorial, product, and engineering stakeholders.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience delivering CMS/DAM solutions for news, media, or publishing organizations.
• Familiarity with breaking-news editorial workflows and high-traffic event scenarios.
• Experience with video asset management and broadcast clip ingestion pipelines.
• Knowledge of GDPR compliance requirements as they apply to content and media platforms.
• Experience with accessibility standards for content-heavy web platforms.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tooling.
• Experience supporting editorial training and operational handover programmes.

Benefits

• Shape real-world AI-driven projects across key industries, working with clients from startup innovation to enterprise transformation.
• Be part of a global team with equal opportunities for collaboration across continents and cultures.
• Thrive in an inclusive environment that prioritizes continuous learning, innovation, and ethical AI standards.
