About Skreens

Skreens’ patented video technology reshapes live streaming infrastructure to maximize the viewing experience for sports and live content. Our Tessera™ platform enables server‑side viewer‑defined multiview, innovative monetization options, and ultra‑low‑latency live experiences without a client SDK. Skreens adaptive channel infrastructure enables content providers to deliver personalized live video experience at unprecedented scale.

The Role

Skreens is hiring a Director of Solutions Architect to lead the technical side of strategic customer engagements.

This is a senior, customer-facing role at the intersection of revenue, product, and solution architecture. You will work directly with major media accounts to define solution fit for ACI-powered deployments, lead technical discovery, design deployment architectures, run evaluations, and help convert complex opportunities into production wins.

Your work will directly influence how Skreens AI-enabled technology is adopted by the market and how live streaming architecture evolves toward more dynamic, personalized, and monetizable experiences.

What You Will Do

Lead technical discovery and solution design for strategic media and streaming accounts

Partner with Sales to advance complex opportunities from evaluation through technical close

Design architectures for the live video pipeline, including encoding, packaging, advertising, and AI-enabled personalization workflows

Run workshops, demos, POCs, and executive-level technical presentations showcasing the power of adaptive, AI-enabled live video

Build trust with engineering, operations, product, and business stakeholders inside customer organizations

Own technical responses for RFPs, RFIs, solution scopes, and architecture documents

Help shape repeatable solution patterns, demo assets, and customer-facing technical materials that highlight ACI and Tessera’s capabilities

Serve as a strong voice of the customer to Product and Engineering

What Success Looks Like

Strategic sales opportunities move faster with clear technical direction

Evaluations and POCs convert more often into production deployments

Product direction improves through direct customer and market feedback

Skreens becomes more deeply embedded in the future architecture of live media delivery through acquisition of new logos plus cross-sell/upsell within existing customers.

What You Bring

10+ years in solutions architecture, sales engineering, or pre‑sales leadership in media, broadcast, streaming, or video infrastructure

Deep knowledge of live video workflows, including encoding, packaging, CDN delivery, playback environments, and low‑latency streaming

Strong grasp of cloud‑based media architectures and API‑driven integrations

Ability to operate credibly with both technical teams and executive stakeholders

Proven success supporting complex enterprise deals with broadcasters, content owners, distributors, or streaming platforms

High ownership, strong judgment, and comfort operating in a fast‑moving environment

Experience with multiview, personalization, real‑time compositing, or advanced live video workflows strongly preferred

Additional strengths that will help you excel:

Familiarity with AI/ML applications in media, such as AI-driven personalization, real‑time content adaptation, or intelligent workflow orchestration

Understanding of agentic AI systems or how AI can enable dynamic channel generation and hyper‑personalized viewer experiences

Exposure to AI‑accelerated compute (e.g., for efficient encoding or scaling thousands of adaptive channels) or related optimization techniques

Why This Role Matters

This is not a simple sales support role. We’re looking for a customer‑obsessed personwho combines deep technical expertise in video delivery, (both public and private cloud based) with exceptional relationship‑building skills. It is a strategic technical leadership role tied directly to revenue, product direction, and market adoption.

The right person will help major media companies understand both how to deploy Skreens and why this architectural shift matters. That work will directly shape how the patented Skreens technology influences the industry and the future of live streaming infrastructure and personalization.
