Job description

Principal, Software Engineering (Adobe - Integrations & Automations)

United States

We are pioneers at heart. We are always leaning forward, creating tomorrow's solutions. We hire curious, self‑driven, talented people who never stop innovating.

THE ROLE

DEPT® is seeking a Principal, Software Engineering (Adobe - Integrations & Automations) to join our forward‑deployed architecture squad in North America. This hands‑on technical role focuses on middleware modernization, system‑to‑system webhook logic, custom API connector builds, and workflow automation.

You will work on complex client environments to re‑architect broken API paths, custom service integrations, and synchronous data calls that cause gateway timeouts or system outages. You will move custom system extensions from brittle, in‑process codebase overrides to modern, serverless, out‑of‑process architectures, ensuring long‑term operational stability.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Remediate broken middleware: re‑architect and fix broken API paths, custom service integrations, and data calls causing timeouts, latency, or outages.
• Build out‑of‑process extensions: shift custom system extensions from brittle codebase overrides to modern, serverless, out‑of‑process architectures.
• Construct workflow connectors: build automated handoff hooks and workflow pipelines that bridge work management systems with downstream marketing engines.
• Deploy custom webhooks: design, build, and test robust webhook configurations and event‑driven data transfer layers.
• Ensure integration stability: collaborate with web and data architects to secure end‑to‑end commerce, customer, and transactional data pathways.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Application & Integration Engineering: 6+ years of backend software engineering or systems integration experience inside an agency, consulting, or enterprise environment.
• Integration Stack Expertise: deep technical command of REST and GraphQL API design, serverless microservices, webhooks, and secure authentication models (OAuth).
• Required Adobe Experience: direct experience developing and configuring workflows inside Adobe Workfront and Adobe Workfront Fusion; hands‑on experience with Adobe App Builder and Adobe Commerce API Mesh to build out‑of‑process system extensions; familiarity connecting Adobe Experience Manager (AEM Assets) and creative workflows with external work management tools.
• Technical Problem‑Solving: proven ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex system connection bottlenecks and latency issues across multi‑platform networks.

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

• Healthcare, Dental, and Vision coverage
• PTO
• Paid Company Holidays
• A collaborative, open‑door environment that fosters personal and company growth and encourages fun.
