We
are seeking a hands-on Adobe Frontend Architect to lead the architecture,

product owners, UX teams, backend engineers, Adobe specialists, and business
stakeholders.

scalable frontend components and design systems.

customer journeys into high-quality digital experiences.
Integrate frontend applications with AEM, APIs,
microservices, and enterprise backend systems.
Design solutions that support performance, scalability,
accessibility, security, and responsive web experiences.
Provide technical leadership through code reviews,
design reviews, proofs-of-concept, and troubleshooting.
Identify technical risks, architectural gaps, and
opportunities for modernization.
Work with Adobe developers and enterprise architects to
establish scalable AEM component and content architectures.
Support CI/CD, automated testing, source control, and
DevOps practices.
Troubleshoot complex frontend and AEM issues and
provide hands-on solutions.
Mentor developers and establish engineering best
practices.
Participate in technical discussions with client
leadership and provide clear recommendations and trade-offs.
