  • Engineering Excellence: Drive code quality, testing, observability and DevSecFinOps practices across the team
  • AI-Assisted Development: Build and establish agentic AI development practices as a model approach for the organisation
  • Junior Mentoring: Provide technical guidance to junior and regular engineers, developing them towards product-oriented, AI-assisted ways of working

  • You have deep practical experience with AWS Serverless services (including Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB and S3) and are proficient in TypeScript as your primary development language
  • You have proven experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (AWS CDK or comparable) and a solid understanding of event-driven and eventual consistency architecture patterns
  • You have built robust APIs and integrations between heterogeneous systems, and are familiar with CI/CD pipelines and toolchains such as Bitbucket Pipelines
  • You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • You are open to actively shaping AI-assisted development practices and eager to develop your own ways of working accordingly
    Bonus:
  • Experience with media-adjacent workflows such as transcoding, AWS Elemental Services or localisation pipelines
  • First hands-on experience with generative or agentic AI solutions

Why This Role?

  • Your Platform: You are building a cloud-native media platform from the ground up; powering Bundesliga content production and distribution for broadcasters and media partners worldwide.
  • Your Impact: You own architectural decisions, drive engineering excellence and set the standard for AI-assisted software development within the team.
