Solutions Architect

TEGNA is transforming how media is delivered, consumed, and personalized across mobile, web, connected TV, and streaming platforms. We are looking for an experienced Solutions Architect to help guide the technical direction of our cloud-native microservice architecture, streaming platform integrations, and modular front-end frameworks that supports millions of users across the TEGNA digital product portfolio.

This is a highly visible, cross-functional role that works directly with engineering leadership, product teams, DevOps, and development teams to establish architectural patterns that balance scalability, velocity, security, and maintainability across multiple platforms and product lines.

You will help design the core systems that power everything from our content management platform to personalization engines, video infrastructure, micro-frontends, and multi-platform native applications.

Responsibilities:

• Own the high-level architecture and design for cloud-native applications and platforms across TEGNA’s digital product lines.
• Lead design sessions with engineering, product, and leadership to define scalable, resilient, and maintainable solutions that serve both short-term delivery needs and long-term platform strategy.
• Define API-first service designs that support clear separation of concerns between front-end, back-end, and third-party integrations.
• Guide teams in modernizing legacy systems into scalable, event-driven microservices
• Provide leadership on modular, micro-frontend patterns using scalable UI technologies.
• Collaborate closely with DevOps on CI/CD and observability strategy.
• Ensure security best practices are embedded into architectural design
• Serve as a mentor for senior engineers, driving technical excellence across the organization.
• Stay current with emerging cloud, streaming, and architectural trends that can help us continuously evolve our platform capabilities.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of progressive software engineering experience, with 2+ years in architecture roles.
• Strong understanding of cloud-native application design, microservices, and distributed system patterns.
• Experience designing highly available, scalable REST APIs and event-driven architectures.
• Hands-on experience with modern front-end architectures.
• Deep understanding of identity management, authentication flows, and secure authorization models.
• Strong leadership, communication, and collaboration skills across engineering, product, and business stakeholders.
• Experience balancing fast delivery timelines with long-term technical strategy and platform stability.
• Prior experience working in media, streaming, or subscription SaaS platforms is a plus.
• Passion for mentoring engineers, sharing knowledge, and elevating team technical maturity.
