Job description

The AEM Lead for Platform Enablement is a strategic technical role responsible for the health, scalability, and standardization of the Adobe Experience Manager ecosystem. Unlike a project-specific lead, you will own the "Platform as a Product." Your primary goal is to empower multiple delivery teams by providing a stable, governed, and high-performing AEM environment. You will define the "Golden Path" for development, automate platform setup, and act as the primary technical liaison between the organization and Adobes engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

A. Platform Ownership & Technical Setup

• CI/CD Leadership: Direct the configuration of Adobe Cloud Manager, including custom functional tests, UI testing suites, and code quality gates.
• Security & Compliance: Oversee Dispatcher security filter configurations, SSL management, and integration with Enterprise Identity Providers (Okta/Azure AD).

B. Enablement & Best Practices

• The "Enablement Playbook": Create and maintain a centralized Wiki/Repository of coding standards, branching strategies, and component reuse guidelines.
• Component Library Management: Oversee the "Core Component" strategy to ensure teams are not reinventing the wheel and are utilizing OOTB (Out of the Box) features effectively.
• Performance Tuning: Establish baseline performance metrics (Core Web Vitals) and provide guidance to teams on optimizing caching and CDN (Cloudflare/Akamai) strategies.

C. Adobe Liaison & Roadmap Strategy

• Adobe Partnership: Serve as the Primary Technical Contact for Adobe Customer Success Managers (CSMs) and Technical Account Managers (TAMs).
• Roadmap Alignment: Evaluate upcoming Adobe releases (e.g., Edge Delivery Services, Franklin, or AI-integrated features) and conduct Impact Assessments for the current tech stack.
• Escalation Management: Lead the resolution of platform-level "Blocker" tickets with Adobe Support, ensuring timely RCA (Root Cause Analysis) for any environment outages.

Required Experience & Skills

Technical Skills

• Expertise: experience with AEM (6.5 or AEMaaCS).
• Cloud Native: Deep understanding of Adobe Cloud Manager and AEM as a Cloud Service architecture.
• Integrations: Proven experience integrating AEM with the broader Adobe Experience Cloud (Target, Analytics, Launch/Tags, and AEP).
• DevOps: Strong knowledge of Maven, Jenkins/GitHub Actions, and Dispatcher optimization.

Soft Skills

• Consultative Mindset: Ability to advise multiple product owners on technical feasibility.
