Company Description

Do you genuinely enjoy technical products, understanding how complex systems work and getting into the details when a problem demands it? Are you motivated by exploring a problem with stakeholders and engineers, shaping the right technical solution, and seeing it implemented end to end? Join us as a Solutions Architect and help shape the evolution of our Media Platform, offering reusable capabilities for asset management, processing, distribution, discovery, automation and AI-enabled media workflows at global scale. You will work across the problem and solution space, turning business and technical challenges into coherent system designs containing clear domain models, system boundaries, integration approaches and implementation guidance. You will bring teams together, make pragmatic architectural decisions and remain actively involved as solutions move from discovery and design into implementation.

At Red Bull Media House, our Media Technology & IT department is responsible for all media technology across the organization. From our self-developed media platform to one of the most technically advanced TV studios in Europe, we design develop, and operate a wide range of cutting-edge applications and services.

Job Description

TEAM & CULTURE

As part of an agile team, you will create a collaborative space in which engineers, stakeholders, architects and partner teams can contribute their perspectives. You will build bridges across team boundaries, facilitate technical discussions by breaking complex problems into manageable parts and help teams reach shared decisions on constraints, trade-offs and technical direction. You seek out different perspectives and can communicate complex topics effectively without making communication the sole focus of the role. You’ll also be part of a culture of appreciation and respect, where it is safe to take risks, learn from mistakes, and continuously improve.

FROM PROBLEM TO SOLUTION

You will take end-to-end ownership from exploring a problem or opportunity through solution design and implementation by our engineering team. Working in both the problem and solution space, you will clarify goals and constraints, challenge assumptions, identify trade-offs and ensure we are building the right thing before moving into implementation. Your ability to analyse stakeholder insights, system data, technical experiments and engineering feedback to test assumptions will help the team converge on an appropriate solution.

SOLUTION & SYSTEM DESIGN

You will design scalable and evolvable solutions for our Media Platform together with the team. You will translate domain needs into system boundaries, integration patterns, APIs, data flows and clear technical direction. You will evaluate alternatives to make trade-offs transparent and validate assumptions through modelling or prototyping. You will stay close to the engineers to evolve the design as new information emerges and to learn from how solutions behave in production. Success is not just delivering output. It is understanding the problem, shaping a solution, and seeing it work in practice as part of our Media Platform.

AI & CONTINUOUS LEARNING

You actively explore and apply AI technologies to improve our products, engineering practices and ways of working, while applying sound judgement to feasibility and responsible use. A strong learning mindset is essential. You do not need to know every technology from day one. What matters is that you are intrinsically motivated to understand how things work, learn unfamiliar technical and domain topics and share what you learn with others.

Qualifications

University degree in Computer Science, software engineering or a related field or equivalent practical experience, with at least 3 years of relevant professional experience.

Fluent in English, German is a plus.

Proven Experience: demonstrated experience shaping and guiding technical solutions from problem discovery through implementation, gained in solution architecture, software architecture, system design or a comparable technical role, preferably in media, data, or content-related domains.

Architecture & Engineering: strong understanding of software and system design, APIs, integration patterns, cloud platforms, data flows and modern software development practices. Familiarity with collaborative modelling approaches such as Domain-Driven Design and Event Storming is a plus.

AI Affinity: genuine interest in AI technologies and their practical application, with the curiosity and judgment to evaluate opportunities, limitations and responsible implementation approaches.

Effective Communication: ability to explain technical concepts to different audiences, facilitate decisions and ensure communication across involved parties.

Collaborative Mindset: open-minded, curious, and respectful team player who seeks input, builds bridges across teams and is willing to revise an opinion when better evidence or ideas emerge.

Critical Thinking: strong analytical and systems-thinking skills, with the ability to break down ambiguous problems, identify dependencies and risks, and make evidence-based decisions.
