Adobe Platform engineering

The Adobe Experience Cloud Solution Architect will translate business and customer needs into scalable, secure, and maintainable digital experience architectures.

The role will work across Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), Adobe Experience Platform (AEP), Real-Time Customer Data Platform (Real-Time CDP), Adobe Analytics, Adobe Target, Adobe Campaign, Adobe Workfront, and related Adobe capabilities as applicable to the organization.

The architect will provide technical direction for platform integrations, customer data and identity, data collection, personalization, analytics, content management, and platform modernization. The role will also establish reusable architecture standards and evaluate emerging Adobe capabilities, including AI-enabled functionality, based on business value, technical feasibility, security, privacy, licensing, and operational considerations.

In addition to solution architecture, this position will contribute to the operational reliability of the Adobe ecosystem, including troubleshooting complex platform and integration issues and coordinating resolution across Adobe product teams and internal stakeholders.

• Ensure integrations follow appropriate security, credential management, error handling, observability, and resilience standards.

Platform Modernization

• Assess existing Adobe implementations and identify opportunities to simplify architecture, retire technical debt, improve integration, strengthen reliability, and optimize performance and cost.
• Develop modernization recommendations and migration approaches while minimizing business and operational disruption.
• Ensure new solutions align with enterprise architecture and cloud engineering standards.

Innovation & Technical Evaluation

• Evaluate and prototype relevant Adobe platform capabilities, including AI-enabled and agent-based capabilities, where applicable.
• Define business and technical use cases and assess feasibility, measurable value, integration requirements, security, privacy, data usage, licensing, and operational impact before recommending adoption.
• Translate successful prototypes into architecture recommendations and production implementation standards.

Security, Privacy & Governance

• Define and apply architectural guardrails for Adobe solutions in partnership with enterprise architecture, cybersecurity, privacy, and data governance teams.
• Apply appropriate standards for identity and access management (IAM), role-based access control (RBAC), consent, privacy, credentials, secrets management, and data governance.
• Ensure platform and integration designs support applicable enterprise security and privacy requirements.

Operations & Reliability

• Ensure solution designs include release and deployment processes, monitoring, logging, alerting, incident response, support ownership, runbooks, and operational documentation.
• Provide technical expertise for complex Adobe platform and integration incidents.
• Work with Adobe product teams and internal stakeholders to troubleshoot and resolve cross-platform issues.
• Contribute to operational readiness for business-critical Adobe Experience Cloud services requiring continuous availability.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• Significant experience designing and delivering enterprise-scale digital experience solutions, including architecture responsibilities across multiple Adobe Experience Cloud capabilities.
