Behind these capabilities are engineering teams that must understand both the platform’s architecture and the regulated, complex environments where customers operate.\nThe FDE role sits at the intersection of solution architecture, technical consulting, and hands-on engineering. You will be embedded with Adobe’s most strategic EMEA customers - working directly with their teams to solve complex platform challenges, design scalable architectures, and build what’s needed to unblock adoption and expansion.\nThis is not a support role. You don’t wait for tickets. You operate inside cross-functional Customer Pods - small, autonomous teams with end-to-end ownership - translating customer problems into working platform solutions. You lead with architecture, prototype rapidly, and close the gap between what customers need and what the platform delivers.\nWhat You’ll Do\nPartner directly with strategic customers to understand their architecture, workflows, security requirements, and business objectives\n\nTranslate complex customer problems into scalable solution designs, reference architectures, and working prototypes\n\nInvestigate and troubleshoot production-level platform issues - from data ingestion and identity resolution to journey orchestration and audience activation\n\nDesign and validate end-to-end enterprise solutions spanning AEP, RTCDP, AJO, and adjacent Adobe systems\n\nLead architecture workshops, health checks, and technical deep-dives that earn customer trust before any commercial motion\n\nRapidly prototype, experiment, and iterate on new capabilities - using AI-assisted tools as a standard part of execution\n\nBridge the gap between customer needs, product direction, and engineering implementation - feeding field patterns back into the product roadmap\n\nOwn the technical relationship with assigned accounts - from initial discovery through implementation, go-live, and expansion\n\nWhat Succes Looks Like\nWe hire for demonstrated impact, not credential accumulation. Strong candidates will show:\nCustomer-to-Solution Thinking - you connect customer problems, workflows, and business goals with practical technical solutions - collapsing the gap between requirement and working platform capability\n\nArchitecture with Execution - you don’t just design; you prototype, validate, debug, and iterate. Your architectures work because you’ve built them, not just drawn them\n\nProduction Awareness - you understand how distributed systems behave at scale - data integrity, graceful degradation, and observability are part of how you think, not afterthoughts\n\nEnterprise Navigation - you operate across complex organizational boundaries, regulatory constraints, and multi-stakeholder environments with confidence and credibility\n\nAI-Augmented Execution - you use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent) as a standard part of how you design, prototype, and deliver\n\nAdaptability Under Ambiguity - you navigate evolving environments where experimentation, learning, and iteration are core to the process - and you don’t mistake seniority for certainty\n\nTypical background: 8-15+ years across solution architecture, software engineering, technical consulting, or customer-facing engineering roles. What matters is what that experience has produced - not the title or the number of years.\nYour Domain\nAEP / RTCDP / AJO: Adobe’s core platform - data ingestion, segmentation, journey orchestration, audience activation\n\nEnterprise Architecture: Multi-system integration, data flows, identity resolution, API design across complex landscapes\n\nSecurity & Compliance: Regulated industries (FSI, Healthcare), data sovereignty, privacy-preserving architectures, GDPR\n\nCloud Platforms: AWS, Azure - infrastructure patterns, managed services, networking\n\nData Platforms: Event-driven architectures, streaming pipelines, batch processing, data lakes\n\nObservability: Platform health, SLO definition, performance governance, production monitoring\n\nWhat We Value\nBeyond technical execution, the people who grow fastest on this team demonstrate:\nAgency - You identify problems before they are assigned to you and drive them to resolution\n\nProduct Judgment - You understand what the platform needs to do for customers, not just what the ticket says to build\n\nCustomer Empathy -You earn trust by understanding the customer’s world - their constraints, pressures, and what success looks like for them\n\nBuilder Mindset - You are as comfortable prototyping a new capability as you are presenting an architecture to a CT\n\nNice to Have :\nExperience with Adobe Experience Cloud products (AEP, AJO, RTCDP, CJA, Target)\n\nExperience with similar platforms - CDP, MDM, martech, or data platforms\n\nBackground in regulated industries (Financial Services, Healthcare, Government) and familiarity with their compliance and security constraints\n\nExperience with data governance, privacy-preserving computation, or secure data collaboration patterns\n\nFamiliarity with identity resolution or customer data unification systems\n\nExperience with workflow orchestration (Temporal, Step Functions, or similar)\n\nTrack record of driving architecture decisions or technical strategy at team or org level\n\nWhy This Team\nWork on complex enterprise problems with direct customer impact - your solutions go live in production, not in slide decks\n\nOperate inside autonomous, cross-functional Pods embedded with Adobe’s most strategic EMEA accounts\n\nCombine architecture, strategy, engineering, and customer engagement in a single role - no two weeks look the same\n\nShape a new engineering engagement model centered around rapid experimentation and AI-assisted execution\n\nCollaborate with experienced engineers across Adobe’s global platform teams\n\nBuild engineering credibility that earns expansion rights - from workshops to FDE to renewals\n\nAbout Adobe\nAdobe empowers everyone to create through innovative platforms and tools that unleash creativity, productivity and personalized customer experiences.
