Internal IT services and applications for a German media and tech conglomerate
BurdaSolutions is the captive IT function for Hubert Burda Media, operating across four German cities with ~200 staff. The tech stack reveals infrastructure-heavy operations (IBM, SAP, Fortinet, Checkpoint, Palo Alto) paired with application development (Java, C++, PHP, Python). Current momentum centers on SAP modernization—S/4HANA adoption and HCM roadmap work—while shifting away from Cisco networking, suggesting a broader cloud and security infrastructure refresh. The intern-heavy hiring mix (4 of 9 open roles) points to structured onboarding in a mature, process-driven organization.
