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.

• Own the overall technical direction of client engagements, often spanning multiple platforms and teams.
• Lead architecture discovery, platform evaluation, and roadmap definition—not just solution implementation.
• Act as a trusted technical advisor to client stakeholders, helping translate business goals into executable architectures.
• Support pre-sales activities including solution shaping, architecture narratives, and technical estimations.

• Architect solutions across CMS/DXP, frontend, backend services, integrations, and cloud infrastructure.
• 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.
