About The Position

We are seeking a Lead Architect to drive end-to-end solution architecture across a wide range of digital experience and platform initiatives. While this role requires deep expertise in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM)—including headful and headless, on-prem and cloud deployments—the Lead Architect is not limited to Adobe or CMS implementations. As a consultancy, we need architects who can lead complex engagements, evaluate and recommend the right platforms and patterns, and operate credibly across frontend, backend, cloud, integration, and experience ecosystems. This role blends hands-on architecture, technical leadership, and client advisory, with accountability for technical direction across multiple workstreams and teams.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering and architecture
• Proven experience leading multi-platform, multi-team client engagements
• Deep expertise in Adobe Experience Manager (headful, headless, on-prem, cloud)
• Strong experience with modern frontend frameworks (React and/or Angular)
• Hands-on experience with Adobe Analytics, Adobe Target, and enterprise tagging strategies
• Experience with non-Adobe CMS/DXP platforms (Sanity, Contentful, or similar)
• Ability to operate beyond CMS—comfortable architecting APIs, services, cloud platforms, and integrations
• Strong understanding of web and mobile technologies
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
• Effective communication and leadership abilities

Responsibilities

• Own the overall technical direction of client engagements, often spanning multiple platforms and teams.

• Evaluate and recommend platforms including: Adobe Experience Manager (headful & headless) Non-Adobe DXPs / headless CMS (e.g., Sanity, Contentful) Supporting experience tools (analytics, personalization, experimentation)
• Design composable architectures where CMS is one part of a broader digital ecosystem.
• Provide architectural leadership for: Classic AEM (headful) implementations Headless AEM using Content Fragments and GraphQL On-prem AEM (e.g., 6.5) and AEM as a Cloud Service
• Architect integrations with: Adobe Analytics Adobe Target Enterprise tagging strategies (data layer, event models, governance)
• Advise clients on when Adobe is the right solution—and when it is not.
• Guide teams building modern web applications using React and/or Angular.
• Define API, integration, and backend patterns (REST, GraphQL, BFFs, microservices).
• Collaborate with DevOps and platform teams on CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, security, and scalability.
• Ensure architectures support performance, resiliency, and long-term evolution.
• Lead and mentor Senior Architects and engineers across multiple engagements.
• Facilitate architecture reviews, design sessions, and decision-making forums.
• Set architectural standards and guardrails that scale across clients and teams.
