Data & MarTech Architect — Contract / Freelance (Adobe Experience Platform / RTCDP)

What you'll do

- Lead the technical architecture for the client's B2B marketing stack in AEP: XDM schema design, dataset configuration, ingestion pipelines, and identity graph strategy.
- Define and govern the data integration architecture between upstream enterprise sources (CRM, order management, customer service, product usage) and AEP.
- Architect and oversee RTCDP configuration: profile merge rules, identity namespaces, consent management, and destination activation.
- Partner with the technical build team on AJO configuration (channel surfaces, data source connections, event schema).
- Provide technical oversight for the legacy-platform migration to AJO/AEP: data mapping, suppression logic translation, and historical migration planning.
- Define MarTech integration standards and data contracts between AEP and downstream channels (email, SMS, paid media, sales enablement).
- Collaborate with the client's data engineering and architecture teams on governance, security, and compliance alignment.
- Document architecture decisions, data flows, integration specs, and platform configurations.
- Identify and resolve data quality, latency, and completeness issues affecting activation and personalization.
- Support the Analytics & Measurement Lead with AEP Query Service, data lake access, and reporting datasets.

What you need

Required:

- 8+ years in data architecture, MarTech architecture, systems integration, or enterprise data engineering.
- Hands-on AEP experience: XDM schema design, batch and streaming ingestion, Profile Service configuration. **Adobe is preferred, but we are open to strong CDP architects from comparable platforms (Segment, Tealium, Salesforce Data Cloud, Treasure Data) who can ramp on AEP; this skill set is scarce and we would rather find the right architect than the perfect résumé.**
- Strong CDP architecture concepts: identity resolution and real-time profile activation.
- SQL proficiency; familiarity with Python, pipeline tools (Kafka, Azure Data Factory), or a cloud platform (Azure, AWS, GCP).
- Experience designing and governing integrations across enterprise CRM, data warehouse, and marketing activation platforms.
- Strong data governance, data quality management, consent frameworks, and enterprise security.
- Excellent documentation: technical design specs, data dictionaries, and integration diagrams.
- Strong communication across technical engineering teams and senior marketing stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Adobe RTCDP configuration (merge rules, identity namespaces, audience activation).
- Experience supporting a legacy marketing automation migration.
- AJO technical configuration (API-triggered journeys, event schema).
- Complex, multi-vendor program environments with shared data responsibilities.
- MarTech consulting, systems integration, or digital transformation advisory background.
- AEP certifications (AEP Architect, AEP Business Practitioner, or equivalent).
- Enterprise data experience in telco, technology, or financial services.
