Technical Lead

Job Purpose:

This is a highly specialized role for a seasoned technical lead to design and implement solutions across the Adobe Experience Cloud (AEC), specifically focusing on architecture of Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) (Content Management) and Adobe Commerce/Magento. This role requires deep technical knowledge, and the ability to bridge two distinct technology stacks to deliver a unified customer experience.

Key Responsibilities:

Architecture & Solution Design:

● Lead the design and implementation of end-to-end digital experience solutions spanning both AEM and Adobe Commerce.

● Architect reusable components, APIs, and templates that enable scalable, personalized, and high-performance experiences.

● Collaborate with business stakeholders and cross-functional teams to translate complex business requirements into scalable, secure, and performant technical solutions across the AEC stack.

● Design and optimize data flow and system integrations between AEM, Adobe Commerce, and back-end systems (e.g., ERP, CRM), particularly for real-time synchronization of customer data, inventory, and orders.

● Drive adoption of headless and API-first architectures for future-ready digital platforms.

● Ensure that architectural concepts, including performance, capacity planning, network/infrastructure planning, and security architecture, are applied consistently across both platforms.

Delivery & Technical Leadership:

● Mentor and provide technical direction to development teams specializing in both Java/AEM and PHP/Commerce stacks.

● Oversee project delivery lifecycle—estimation, design, development, and deployment across both content and commerce components.

● Establish coding standards, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps best practices across Adobe Cloud Manager.

● Troubleshoot complex cross-platform issues and ensure security, performance, and scalability principles are consistently applied.

● Collaborate closely with design, marketing, and analytics teams to ensure technology alignment with business goals.

● Lead code reviews, enforce quality standards, and foster an engineering culture focused on craftsmanship and innovation.

● Partner with Adobe and internal stakeholders to stay ahead of new Experience Cloud capabilities.
