The Opportunity

Adobe Experience Platform and Apps powers real-time customer experiences for the world’s largest enterprises — unifying data, resolving identity at scale, orchestrating journeys, and activating audiences across channels.

The Forward Deployed Engineer sits at the intersection of solution architecture, technical consulting, and hands-on engineering. You’ll work directly with Adobe’s strategic customers to solve complex platform challenges, design scalable architectures, and build solutions that accelerate adoption.

You’ll operate in a multi-functional Customer Pod with end-to-end ownership, partnering with customers, product teams, and engineers to turn complex problems into working solutions.

What You’ll Do

- Partner with strategic customers to understand their architecture, workflows, security requirements, and business objectives.

- Translate complex customer problems into scalable solution designs, reference architectures, and working prototypes.

- Investigate and resolve production-level platform issues across data ingestion, identity resolution, journey orchestration, and audience activation.

- Design and validate enterprise solutions spanning AEP, AJO, Marketo, and adjacent Adobe systems.

- Lead architecture workshops, health checks, and technical deep-dives that build customer trust.

- Prototype, experiment, and iterate rapidly, using AI-assisted tools as part of your everyday workflow.

- Connect customer needs with product and engineering teams, bringing field insights back into the product roadmap.

- Own the technical relationship with assigned accounts from discovery through implementation, launch, and expansion.

What Success Looks Like

We hire for demonstrated impact and experience. You’ll bring a combination of technical depth, customer empathy, and collaborative problem solving.

- Hands-on engineering: You write code, build prototypes, and ship working software. Your architecture decisions are grounded in implementation experience.

- Customer empathy: You understand customers’ goals, constraints, and definitions of success and build trusted relationships through empathy and technical expertise.
