Adobe Edge Delivery Services Technical Lead

About the Role

As an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Edge Delivery Services Solutions Architect, you will work closely with our clients on critical digital transformation programs that drive customer experience, optimize costs, create efficiencies, and deliver business outcomes. You will lead the planning and management of AEM-related client engagements, participating in all aspects of the lifecycle, including estimating, requirements gathering, solution and technical design, implementation, documentation, testing, deployment, and support of applications developed for our clients.

This is a hands-on delivery role where you will support a client product owner on large-scale implementations. You will be accountable to a program leadership team for the successful delivery of AEM implementations, business enablement, and migration work packages related to content supply chain technology.

• Define and lead Classic-AEM → Edge Delivery migration strategy, including content supply chain modeling, template/block mapping, and large-scale automated content import.
• Champion AI-accelerated delivery by applying AI-assisted development, migration, and content-authoring tooling to compress project timelines, and advise clients on adopting Adobe’s AI capabilities (Firefly, AEM AI Assistant, GenStudio, Adobe Experience Platform/AI Agents) within their content supply chain.
• Provide architectural guidance on environment configuration, caching, CDN/edge compute, performance (Core Web Vitals), security, and governance.
• Travel may be required (0–100% depending on business need and client requirements).

• Minimum of 3 years of hands-on Edge Delivery Services experience, including building/authoring Edge Delivery sites (blocks, document-based or Universal Editor authoring, Git-based dev workflow, aem.live delivery pipeline) and a working grasp of front-end fundamentals (vanilla JS, CSS, Core Web Vitals/Lighthouse performance).
• Minimum of 3 years of experience migrating traditional AEM Sites to Edge Delivery Services (or comparable modern-web re-platforming at enterprise scale).
