• Support AEP / AJO / CJA / Target enablement, including profile, audience, journey, decisioning, personalisation, experimentation and reporting use cases
• Ensure MarTech solutions are secure, scalable, observable, resilient, maintainable, reusable and cost efficient
• Validate vendor deliverables using clear technical acceptance criteria, test evidence, deployment checks and production readiness criteria
• Ensure appropriate automated testing, CI/CD controls, monitoring, logging, alerting, access controls and operational runbooks are in place
• Validate release plans, rollback procedures, capacity considerations, integration testing, disaster recovery and production readiness
• Lead technical incident management, root-cause analysis and permanent remediation for MarTech-related issues
• Identify and manage technical debt, architecture risks, recurring incidents, performance issues and operational weaknesses
• Maintain technical documentation, architecture decisions, integration specifications, release notes, runbooks and support procedures
• Drive knowledge transfer from vendors and ensure Qiddiya can independently operate, govern and evolve the MarTech ecosystem

Requirements

• 8+ years of software engineering, technical lead, solution architecture or senior development experience in digital platforms, MarTech or customer-facing technology environments
• Strong hands-on technical capability and ability to challenge implementation-level decisions
• Experience with Adobe Experience Manager, AEMaaCS, Adobe Experience Cloud or equivalent enterprise digital experience platforms
• Strong understanding of APIs, microservices, event-driven architecture, data flows, integrations, identity, consent, customer profiles and distributed systems
• Experience with analytics and tagging technologies, preferably Adobe Tags / Launch, WebSDK / MobileSDK, CJA, data layer design, UTM governance and campaign tracking
• Experience with CI/CD, cloud environments, release management, automated testing, observability, performance engineering, security and production operations
