We are not looking for traditional AEP DA here. We are looking for solution lead who can guide team, unblock and help R&I take to next level. Few points to consider...
- A traditional AEP Data Architect is primarily focused on core data architecture areas such as XDM design, datasets, identity strategy, ingestion patterns, data modeling, and activation readiness within AEP.
- The R&I Solution Architect role is broader and more outcome-driven.
- It focuses on making Adobe on Adobe reliable, governable, observable, automated, measurable, and scalable across teams and products.
- This includes designing solutions for platform health monitoring, data quality, access governance, operational insights, value realization, automation, and proactive issue detection.
- The key difference is that R&I is not only designing how data flows through AEP. It is designing how the overall Adobe ecosystem operates successfully at enterprise scale.
- R&I also helps close product gaps where out-of-the-box capabilities may not fully meet Customer Zero needs, while partnering closely with engineering and product teams to influence future roadmap.
In short, the R&I Solution Architect role combines solution architecture, operational excellence, governance, automation, observability, and business value measurement. It is a strategic architecture role that goes beyond traditional AEP data design and directly supports the success and scale.
