Required:
- 8+ years in data architecture, MarTech architecture, systems integration, or enterprise data engineering.
- Hands-on AEP experience: XDM schema design, batch and streaming ingestion, Profile Service configuration. **Adobe is preferred, but we are open to strong CDP architects from comparable platforms (Segment, Tealium, Salesforce Data Cloud, Treasure Data) who can ramp on AEP; this skill set is scarce and we would rather find the right architect than the perfect resume.**
- Strong CDP architecture concepts: identity resolution and real-time profile activation.
- SQL proficiency; familiarity with Python, pipeline tools (Kafka, Azure Data Factory), or a cloud platform (Azure, AWS, GCP).
- Experience designing and governing integrations across enterprise CRM, data warehouse, and marketing activation platforms.
- Strong data governance, data quality management, consent frameworks, and enterprise security.
- Excellent documentation: technical design specs, data dictionaries, and integration diagrams.
- Strong communication across technical engineering teams and senior marketing stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Adobe RTCDP configuration (merge rules, identity namespaces, audience activation).
