• Mentoring and providing technical guidance to Associate and other Developers on complex tasks, coding best practices, and problem-solving techniques.
• Ensuring the successful integration, testing, and deployment of client applications and platforms, applying rigorous quality assurance methods.
• Staying abreast of industry trends and emerging technologies, especially within the Adobe ecosystem, to continually enhance our offerings and provide innovative solutions.

You will also collaborate with Data Specialists and Designers outside of your department. Our common feature is that we all are competent, respectful teammates who go the extra mile to help one another.
We value room for diversity, and you will get a chance to put a personal touch on your daily tasks while developing your professional skillset. We are proud of our multicultural environment and easy-going, dynamic atmosphere where we not only work together - we are great at having fun as well.
What do you bring to the table?
You are an outgoing and self-motivated person who contributes positively to the working environment with your team-player attitude. Your previous experience with being a trusted advisor for clients and colleagues means that you are not afraid to express your opinion, and your organized approach helps you meet deadlines and break down projects into manageable chunks.
In addition, you have:

• 4+ years of hands-on development experience, ideally within an agency or consulting environment, with a strong focus on digital marketing solutions.
• Proven expertise with Adobe Experience Cloud platforms, such as Adobe Campaign (ACC), Adobe Journey Optimiser (AJO), Adobe Target (AT), or Adobe Audience Manager (AAM).
• Bonus if experienced with front-end and back-end technologies including JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and SQL, along with experience in other programming languages (e.g., Python, Java) and API integrations.
• Relevant Adobe certifications such as Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) - Developer, Adobe Certified Master - Architect, or Adobe Experience Platform Developer Professional.
• Experience with code versioning systems, automated integration testing, security testing, and secure coding practices.
• Deep understanding of data models, optimisation techniques, and GDPR principles.
