Careers
Principal Adobe Enterprise Architect
Join a team of Adobe experts and let’s drive awesome results for Fortune 100 brands.
Enterprise Architect
The Role
This isn't a draw-diagrams-and-hand-them-off role. You'll work with both customer teams and 5th Revolution experts to architect end-to-end solutions across the full Adobe stack for enterprise clients. From the AEP platform-services layer (RTCDP, AJO, CJA) and its emerging agentic capabilities, to the established Experience Cloud applications (Data Collection, Target, Analytics, Campaign, AEM), and own them from the first whiteboard session through go-live.
- Assess and envision. Partner with technology, marketing, and executive stakeholders to evaluate current-state ecosystems and find the fastest path to measurable value.
- Architect solutions. Design future-state architectures connecting technologies including CDPs, journey orchestration, content, analytics, personalization, and activation into cohesive, future-proof systems.
- Showcase the art of the possible. Build executive-level demos, POCs, and experience showcases, and translate complex architecture into narratives that drive decisions.
- Guide implementation and realize value. Stay connected through deployment via reference architectures, starter implementations, and mentoring, and watch your blueprints become live customer experiences.
- Champion AI adoption. Bring technical experience from generative and agentic AI into every engagement where it creates value, AI assisted workflows, LLMs, RAG pipelines, AI agents, Adobe Firefly, GenStudio, and AEP Agent Orchestrator.
Why 5th Revolution
The Work Other Firms Can't Offer
We challenge the status quo and put data and technology first, so your energy goes into the outcome and the growth it creates, not the org chart.
- Constant challenge from people at your level.
- Actually build, at Fortune 100 scale.
- Go wide, not siloed.
- All technology, none of the politics.
- Driven by results, not headcount or hours.
The Five Points
We hold every hire to the same five points, the five points of the 5th Revolution star, weighted equally.
Business Communication & Leadership
You own the room and the outcome. You move fluidly between the CMO's language and the IT lead's, frame everything in business value, and set a direction cross-functional teams want to execute.
- Translate fluidly between executive and technical audiences
- Frame every decision in business value
- Lead cross-functional delivery teams
Technical Breadth & Depth
Deep hands-on command of the full Adobe stack and how the pieces connect architecturally, backed by enterprise integration fluency and applied AI that has actually shipped.
- Hands-on across AEP, RTCDP, AJO, CJA, AEM, Target, Analytics, and Campaign
- Enterprise integration: REST APIs, AWS/Azure, identity, consent, data flows
- Shipped applied AI: RAG, agent frameworks, AEP Agent Orchestrator, MCP
Strategic Thinking
You get from "we need a CDP" to the real business goals, a sequenced roadmap, and an ROI case that wins executive budget, sequencing for fastest measurable value, not activity.
- Turn vague asks into goals, roadmap, and an ROI case
- Scope, size against product licensing, and set realistic timelines
- Protect scope, schedule, and budget when reality pushes back
Drive to Learn & Grow, Together
You never accept the status quo. You stay current because you are genuinely curious, and you level up the whole team by learning alongside your peers.
- Genuinely curious, always current
- Level up the whole team, not just yourself
- Best approach wins, regardless of title or tenure
Relevant Experience
You have operated in a lead consultative role (Architect or Principal Consultant) on large-scale enterprise digital-marketing ecosystems, owning technical direction through delivery, not just execution.
- Multiple full-lifecycle enterprise engagements
- Hands-on across three or more Adobe solutions
- Adobe Certified Expert credentials a strong plus
Compensation & Engagement
Contract-to-hire (W-2), converting to permanent. You start on a reliable, longer-term contract engagement, underwritten by multi-year client commitments, not gig-to-gig work, with a clear path to permanent W-2 employment.
- Competitive rate plus performance incentives; total comp reflects skill and impact, not just years
- Annual certification and professional-development budget; conference attendance and speaking opportunities
- Fully remote with a flexible schedule (up to ~10% travel)
- Latest tools, hardware, and AI-enabled development environments
Pay range. During the initial contract period, this role pays an hourly rate of $110 to $155 per hour. On conversion to permanent W-2 employment, the base salary range is $155,000 to $235,000 per year. These are good-faith ranges; actual compensation depends on experience, skills, and location. Benefits: Paid sick leave and an annual certification and professional-development budget.

What to Expect

- A response within one business day
