About this role
DEPT® is a pioneering technology and marketing services company that creates integrated end-to-end digital experiences. They are seeking a highly analytical and technical Architect Software Engineer to join their architecture squad, specializing in real-time streaming pipeline tuning and database-to-platform ingestion modeling.
Responsibilities:
- Optimize Profile & Identity Stitching: Audit and optimize identity namespace configurations, resolve database collisions, and re-design pipeline rules to ensure high-accuracy profile matching
- Rationalize Data Ingestion: Optimize multi-system data schemas, refine bulk file-ingestion flows, and construct data-minimization scripts to prevent over-ingestion and lower compute load
- Design Federated Queries: Architect zero-copy/federated query strategies that allow marketing activation engines to reference enterprise warehouses without unnecessary data replication
- Remediate Broken Journeys: Re-build, test, and stabilize broken multi-channel automated campaigns failing due to complex logical splits, delivery loops, or synchronization gaps
- Enforce Safety & Suppression Rules: Build robust audience suppression rules, frequency capping mechanisms, and real-time trigger boundaries to protect the customer experience
- Configure Activation Connectors: Build out destination syncs across ad-networks, SMS gateways, and push notification nodes to ensure low-latency delivery
Requirements:
- 10+ years of software engineering or systems architecture experience focusing on data pipeline engineering, customer database modeling, or marketing automation
- Deep technical command of ETL pipelines, relational database schemas, real-time trigger mechanics, and destination connectors
- Expert, hands-on configuration authority across Adobe Experience Platform (AEP), Real-Time Customer Data Platform (RT-CDP), and Adobe Journey Optimizer (AJO)
- Direct development experience utilizing AEP Federated Audience Composition (FAC) or zero-copy strategies with enterprise warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery)
- Extensive experience configuring schemas, segmentations, and automated campaigns within Marketo Engage and Adobe Campaign (v7/v8)
- Ability to collaborate closely with analytics engineers to validate campaign-link attribution and tracking
