By submitting your application, you join our talent network, and our recruiting team will reach out directly as active requisitions open.

We believe that the work you do should matter - it should be meaningful to you professionally and personally, and it should have a positive impact on both you and our clients.  If this sounds exciting to you, let’s chat!

## ADOBE (AEP) ARCHITECT

What experience should you have:

- 10+  years in enterprise data, MarTech, or digital architecture roles.
- 3+ years of experience within the Adobe Experience Platform, including one or more: RT-CDP, Journey Optimizer (AJO), Customer Journey Analytics (CJA), Web SDK.
- Ability to work with JSON structures, SQL (via AEP Query Service/Data Distiller), and REST APIs.
- Expert-level knowledge of XDM (Experience Data Model) and Identity Namespaces.
- Familiarity with Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK (Alloy.js) and server-side data collection.
- Experience leading client discovery sessions, translating "marketing speak" into technical requirements, and presenting to executive stakeholders.

Nice to have:

- Experience in consultancy environments.
- Adobe certifications (RT-CDP, AJO, CJA).
- Knowledge of data privacy frameworks.

What you’ll be doing in this role:

- You will own the technical roadmap for AEP implementations, defining how data flows from ingestion (streaming/batch) to activation.
- You aren't just drawing boxes; you will lead the setup of schemas, datasets, identity stitching rules, and merge policies within the AEP interface.
- Architecting the frameworks for DULE (Data Usage Labeling & Enforcement), consent strings, and PII management to ensure compliant data usage.
- Designing the "connective tissue" between AEP and the broader stack, including Snowflake/Databricks, CRM systems (Salesforce/MS Dynamics), and advertising destinations.
- Reviewing the work of engineers and consultants to ensure implementation matches the architectural blueprint and Adobe best practices.

What you'll need to accomplish in your first year:

- Lead the architectural design and oversee the successful "Go-Live" of at least two enterprise-scale AEP deployments.
- Develop and document internal Further "Playbooks" for AEP schema design and identity resolution to streamline future client work.
- Serve as the go-to expert for complex troubleshooting, helping pods navigate difficult profile-stitching or data-latency issues.

In addition to our outstanding basics, we offer a net-zero cost medical option, company contributions to your HSA, fertility support, fully-paid parental leave, a monthly stipend for your lifestyle spending account, and much more.
