  • Define and apply architecture patterns, integration standards, and solution guardrails across the MarTech and Personalization landscape
  • Design solutions that integrate customer data, events, profiles, journeys, and decision signals while meeting enterprise risk, privacy, and compliance requirements
  • Act as a technical bridge between marketing technology platforms, customer decisioning capabilities, enterprise data services, and delivery engineering teams
  • Support delivery teams through architecture reviews, design walkthroughs, and complex integration analysis
  • Contribute to technology roadmaps, target-state architectures and vendor evaluations

  • Relevant architecture or platform certifications are an asset (e.g., Adobe, Salesforce, Pega, Google, or equivalent)
  • Strong working knowledge of API-based integration, event-driven patterns, and batch vs near-real-time data flows
  • Experience integrating marketing or GTM platforms with enterprise data, analytics, and downstream operational systems
  • Ability to evaluate technical trade-offs related to latency, scalability, risk, and operability
  • Strong understanding of personalization concepts including customer profiles, events, journeys, segmentation, eligibility, and activation
  • Experience supporting Go-To-Market (GTM) or marketing enablement initiatives in partnership with engineering teams
  • Ability to translate business and marketing requirements into actionable technical solutions
  • Exposure to or practical experience with real-time and AI-assisted personalization or decisioning patterns
  • Ability to assess emerging capabilities with an enterprise mindset, considering data readiness, governance, and regulatory constraints
