About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the technical strategy and execution for Adobe Marketing platforms across multiple crews, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, performant, and enterprise ready.
Serve as the primary technical decision authority for Adobe related engineering, including architecture patterns, integration strategies, and platform standards.
Drive modern engineering practices across Adobe development (API first design, event driven integrations, CI/CD, cloud native patterns, performance optimization).
Partner closely with Enterprise Architecture and Security to ensure compliance, data protection, and governance without slowing delivery.
Lead and grow ~6 Adobe focused engineering crews, providing clear technical direction, prioritization, and execution discipline.
Ensure crews are aligned to a shared target architecture and are delivering incrementally toward that vision.
Actively manage technical dependencies, cross crew integration points, and delivery risk, intervening early where needed.
Balance platform evolution with near term delivery commitments, avoiding both over engineering and short term fixes.
Translate marketing and product intent into clear, executable technical plans with well defined success criteria.
Establish and enforce “ready to execute” standards (architecture readiness, non functional requirements, dependency clarity) before teams commit to delivery.
Use PI Planning, Demo Days, and execution reviews as decision points, not status updates.
Drive predictable delivery through strong upfront engineering rigor and transparent trade off management.
Build a high performing engineering culture grounded in accountability, continuous improvement, and technical excellence.
Coach senior and mid level engineers, tech leads, and architects to raise the bar on design quality, code health, and system thinking.
Identify skill gaps (e.g., Adobe specialization, data enablement, integration engineering) and proactively address them through hiring, upskilling, or vendor strategy.
Act as a technical mentor and escalation point for complex engineering challenges.
Partner with Product, Marketing, Data, Platform, and Operations leaders to align technology execution with business outcomes, not just platform adoption.
Represent Adobe engineering in enterprise forums, articulating technical trade offs, risks, and recommendations clearly to senior leadership.
Influence roadmap decisions by grounding discussions in engineering reality, platform constraints, and long term sustainability.
