AEP Architect

About the role

We are looking for a Principal-Level Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) Architect to lead the holistic design and governance of AEP deployments across large-scale enterprise transformations. This is a data architecture-focused role — not campaign activation — centred on building the scalable, governed foundation that makes real-time customer intelligence possible. You will serve as the technical lead on complex engagements, defining how data is structured, unified, and governed within AEP, and ensuring downstream activation tools can trust and leverage what you build.

What You'll Do

• Data Architecture & Schema Strategy
  • Define and own the XDM schema strategy aligned to enterprise data architecture principles
  • Design scalable, future-proof data models within AEP
  • Configure and optimise Real-Time Customer Data Platform (RTCDP)
  • Identity & Profile Design and govern identity namespace strategies and identity graph configuration
  • Lead profile stitching, unification, and profile enablement at enterprise scale
  • Troubleshoot profile inconsistencies and identity resolution issues
• Data Ingestion & Governance
  • Define and manage datasets, batch and streaming data ingestion, and profile-enabled schemas
  • Establish and enforce data governance frameworks within AEP
  • Collaborate with data engineering teams to ensure accurate data transformation and mapping
• Technical Leadership
  • Serve as the senior technical lead on large-scale enterprise AEP transformations
  • Integrate AEP with downstream activation tools and broader enterprise ecosystems
  • Operate independently and with authority in complex, multi-stakeholder environments

Required

• Proven, hands-on experience with Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) at principal or senior architect level
• Deep expertise across:
• RTCDP configuration and optimisation
• XDM schema design and data modelling
• Identity graph configuration and namespace design
• Profile building, enablement, and unification
• Strong understanding of customer data architecture principles
• Demonstrated ability to lead enterprise-scale data transformations independently

Nice to Have

• Background as a Data Engineer or Data Architect prior to AEP specialisation
• Experience integrating multiple enterprise data sources into AEP
• Familiarity with the broader Adobe ecosystem — AJO, Adobe Target, Adobe Analytics
