Hybrid
DEPT® is a Growth Invention company built to help the world’s most ambitious brands grow faster. Operating at the intersection of technology and marketing, our 4,000+ specialists deliver growth invention services across Brand & Media, Experience, Commerce, CRM, and Technology & Data. We’re 50|50 tech and marketing, partner-led, and first to move. Clients include Google, Lufthansa, Meta, eBay, and OpenAI. We have been certified B Corp and Climate Neutral since 2021.
JOB PURPOSE
This role is part of our Experience & Engineering team. We combine our skills in developing future-ready technical solutions with our expertise in creating beautiful designs to deliver exceptional and engaging digital experiences that build lasting relationships with our clients like Gant, Inter Milan, bol.com and Just Eat Takeaway.
We are seeking a highly motivated AEM Tech Lead to serve as the architectural backbone of our Adobe Experience Manager practice. In this role, you will bridge the gap between high-level business ambitions and technical execution, ensuring our projects are delivered with scalp-level precision and scalability.
As a Tech Lead, you aren't just a developer; you are a visionary who maintains a "helicopter view" of the entire ecosystem. You will anticipate integration challenges, challenge the status quo with the latest Adobe innovations, and serve as a mentor who elevates the technical craft of every engineer on your team.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Technical Leadership: Architect and oversee the implementation of end-to-end AEM solutions within complex enterprise environments.
- Strategic Advisory: Stay at the forefront of the Adobe Experience Cloud roadmap, proactively proposing decisions that align with our clients' long-term growth.
- System Integration: Monitor the broader technical landscape to identify and mitigate risks involving third-party integrations and legacy systems.
- Mentorship & Growth: Actively coach and upskill team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and technical excellence.
- Hands-on Excellence: Lead by example by contributing to core development tasks while ensuring the team adheres to best practices in AEM solution design.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- Deep project knowledge and hands-on experience with Adobe Experience Manager (preferably AEMaaCS), Adobe Commerce, and ideally marketing automation platforms.
- Proficiency in development technologies including Java, JCR, HTL, and OSGi configurations, as well as front-end frameworks like React or Angular for headless CMS implementations.
- Practical experience with APIs (e.g., RESTful, GraphQL) and middleware solutions for seamless integration.
- Adobe certifications (e.g., Adobe Certified Expert, Adobe Certified Master) are a significant advantage.
- Familiarity with Agile methodologies such as Scrum or Kanban, with demonstrated success leading teams in an Agile environment.
- The ability to consult our clients and teams on the best implementation approaches.
- You speak and write English at a professional level (C1).
WE OFFER
- A flexible, hybrid working policy (2-3 days from the office, depending on location) and the opportunity to work from abroad for 13 weeks a year.
- 24 vacation days per year and the possibility to buy an unlimited number of extra vacation days.
- DEPT®/YOU Learning Menu and DEPT®/YOU Special Programs. Develop your skills with courses and programs tailored to your needs.
- Stay happy and healthy with a contribution to your health through the OpenUp platform, gym and wellness discounts, and healthy lunches at the office.
- A reputation for doing good. DEPT® has been a Certified B Corp® since 2021 and named ‘Agency of the Year’ at both The Lovies and The Webby Awards.
- Awesome clients. Whether big or small, local or global — at DEPT® you’ll get the opportunity to work with clients of all sizes and across all industries. And we celebrate all of our successes together!
- The opportunity for possibility. We want to enable you to do what you do best and help you develop your skills further with training, development and certifications.
- Global annual DEPT® Cares Month in which employees come together and donate their skills to support local charities.
