Senior CMS Solution Architect – Adobe Experience Manager (AEM)

Location: Remote (India-based, supporting PST hours)

Duration: Contract (US Cross-Border PO)

We're seeking a Senior CMS Solution Architect with deep, hands-on Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) expertise to serve as the primary client-side technical lead on a large-scale enterprise CMS transformation. This is an architecture-ownership role: you'll drive solution design, technical governance, and delivery oversight while managing and collaborating with an external implementation partner — not a hands-on development role.

Responsibilities:

- 10+ years enterprise CMS experience, with 5+ years specifically in AEM architecture
- Must have direct, hands-on AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) delivery experience — AEM 6.x-only background does not meet this requirement
- Hands-on experience with Adobe Edge Delivery Services (EDS / formerly Franklin/Helix) — including document-based authoring workflows, performance-first delivery architecture, and EDS deployment/CI pipeline
- Strong Java/J2EE background plus working fluency in a modern frontend framework (React, Next.js, or Angular)
- Hands-on experience with AEM Sites, Assets, and Headless CMS (Content Fragments, GraphQL); AEM Forms is a plus, not required
- Demonstrated experience integrating AEM with Adobe Commerce Cloud specifically (not general e-commerce, and not a different commerce platform) and Salesforce
- Working experience with both AWS and Azure cloud platforms, beyond Adobe's own Cloud Manager
- Proven track record owning architecture for enterprise-scale, multilingual/multi-site AEM implementations (MSM/Blueprints)




- Direct experience managing an external implementation partner or systems integrator from the client side — including design authority, delivery governance, and vendor accountability
- Strong CDN, Dispatcher, caching, security, and performance optimization expertise
- Excellent stakeholder management and executive communication skills

Qualifications:

- Adobe Certified Master or Adobe Certified Expert credentials
- Prior pre-sales experience (solution proposals, estimation, RFP response)
- Experience defining architecture governance standards for large AEM programs

Required Skills:

- 10+ years enterprise CMS experience
- 5+ years specifically in AEM architecture
- Direct, hands-on AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) delivery experience

- Strong Java/J2EE background
- Fluency in a modern frontend framework (React, Next.js, or Angular)
- Experience with AEM Sites, Assets, and Headless CMS
- Experience integrating AEM with Adobe Commerce Cloud and Salesforce
- Working experience with AWS and Azure cloud platforms
- Proven track record owning architecture for enterprise-scale AEM implementations
- Experience managing an external implementation partner
- Solid CDN, Dispatcher, caching, security, and performance optimization expertise
- Excellent stakeholder management and executive communication skills

Preferred Skills

- Adobe Certified Master or Adobe Certified Expert credentials
- Prior pre-sales experience (solution proposals, estimation, RFP response)
- Experience defining architecture governance standards for large AEM programs
