We are a Growth Invention company built to help the worlds most ambitious brands grow faster. Operating at the intersection of technology and marketing, we create what is next by pioneering ideas, acting fast, and moving further because standing still just is not in our DNA.
We are drawn to people who stay curious, move with intent, and never stop inventing. Our culture runs on three values: better together, relentlessly curious, and get sh*t done. It is how we work, how we grow, and how we make things that matter.
At DEPT, you will find the freedom to explore, the space to collaborate, and the trust to make a real impact for our clients, for each other, and for the world we are helping to build.
We are seeking a visionary and market-experienced Senior Architect, Experience Engineering & Platforms to join DEPT's growing Adobe practice in North America. In this executive-level role, you will serve as the most senior client-facing voice on large-scale digital platform transformations defining the architectural direction for headless CMS implementations, composable experience ecosystems, and Adobe-native delivery infrastructure. You will own the intellectual agenda of the Experience Engineering & Platforms pillar: shaping methodology, building go-to-market positioning, and establishing DEPT as the authoritative partner for enterprise organizations navigating the shift from monolithic CMS architectures to modern, performance-first stacks built on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Sites, Edge Delivery Services (EDS), Adobe Commerce, and Adobe CDN. At Level 4, you are not executing within a defined scope you are defining the scope for engagements worth millions of dollars and shaping the conditions under which client teams will succeed over a three-to-five year horizon.
Your clients are Global 2000 enterprises retailers, financial services companies, media organizations, and B2B technology firms who are hitting the ceiling of what their legacy platforms can deliver. They come to DEPT because their existing AEM monolith cannot support the experimentation velocity their marketing team demands, because page performance is dragging down conversion rates in measurable ways, or because they need to scale content operations across dozens of markets without proportionally scaling headcount. In this role, you will produce the artifacts that define how they get from where they are to where they need to be: platform architecture assessments that expose technical debt and surface migration paths, multi-year transformation roadmaps that sequence investment against business outcomes, composable architecture blueprints that map AEM Sites and EDS to real editorial workflows, and Commerce integration strategies that connect Adobe Commerce to a headless front end without sacrificing personalization or analytics fidelity through Adobe Target and Adobe Analytics. You will present these deliverables to CMOs, CTOs, and CDOs and you will be expected to defend every recommendation with the rigor of someone who has built and broken these systems firsthand.
We are a collaborative, open-door, best-idea-wins environment that fosters personal and company growth and has fun doing it. Here is a snapshot of our benefits package:
