WHY DEPT®?

We are pioneers at heart. What this means is that we are always leaning forward, thinking of what we can create tomorrow that does not exist today. We were born digital and we are a new model of agency, with a deep skillset in tech and marketing. That's why we hire curious, self-driven, talented people who never stop innovating.

Our culture is big enough to cope and small enough to care. Meaning that with people across 20+ countries, we're big enough to provide you with the best tools, global opportunities, and benefits that help you thrive. While acting small by investing in you, your growth, your team, and giving you the autonomy to solve our clients' problems, no matter where you are in the world.

DEPT® is seeking a highly technical, consultative, and hands-on Architect, Software Engineering (AEM) to join our forward-deployed architecture squad in North America. Mapped back to our Web Craft, this role is a specialized engineering seat focused on Adobe Experience Manager excellence. You will step directly into complex client environments to execute deep-dive code audits, optimize rendering speeds, and resolve complex web and DAM architecture blockages.

This is a hands-on technical execution role. You will work in tight sprint windows to remediate technical debt, configure AEM permission pathways, and execute migration tasks from legacy architectures to AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaCS), restoring customer confidence and establishing technical stability.
