Your architecture decisions are grounded in implementation experience. * Customer empathy: You understand customers’ goals, constraints, and definitions of success and build trusted relationships through empathy and technical expertise. * Collaboration and communication: You work effectively with engineers, architects, product managers, and leaders and communicate complex concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences. * Enterprise architecture: You design end-to-end solutions across products and systems, considering integration, scale, security, and production requirements. * Data expertise: You understand how data is structured, modeled, and moved and can evaluate trade-offs in schema design, identity resolution, and data pipelines. * AI fluency and continuous learning: You embrace AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent to design, prototype, and deliver solutions. * Proactive problem solving: You identify emerging challenges and take initiative to move them toward resolution. WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED * 10+ years of experience across solution architecture, software engineering, technical consulting, or customer-facing engineering. * Bachelor’s or advanced degree in computer science or a relevant field, or equivalent practical experience. * Experience with CDP, MDM, martech, or data platforms. * Experience with data governance, privacy-preserving computation, or secure data collaboration. * Familiarity with identity resolution or customer data unification. * Experience with workflow orchestration technologies such as Temporal, Step Functions, or similar. * Experience contributing to architecture decisions or technical strategy at the team or organizational level. * Experience with Adobe Experience Cloud products such as AEP, AJO, Marketo, CJA, or Target is helpful. * Experience working in regulated industries such as Financial Services, Healthcare, or Government is also helpful.
