This is a senior individual contributor role with strong technical authority. While the role may not have direct line-management responsibility, it will provide technical leadership to vendor engineering teams and remain accountable for technical quality, resilience, reliability, security, performance and operational readiness of the MarTech platform landscape.
A key objective is to eliminate black-box delivery, retain critical MarTech technical knowledge within Qiddiya, and ensure Qiddiya remains in control of its MarTech platforms, integrations and release processes.
Key Responsibilities
- Take technical ownership of MarTech platforms, integrations and delivery quality across Adobe, AEM/AEMaaCS, AEP, AJO, CJA, Target, DAM / Content Hub, Sprinklr, Workfront and analytics.
- Define and maintain MarTech technical architecture, integration patterns, engineering standards, release approach and technical roadmap.
- Provide hands-on technical leadership across solution design, development, configuration, integration, testing, deployment, release and production support.
- Lead and challenge vendor engineering teams, ensuring compliance with Qiddiya Digital standards and MarTech architecture principles.
- Review and approve technical designs, APIs, data models, event schemas, tracking specifications, integration flows, code quality and major technical decisions.
- Support AEMaaCS governance, Cloud Manager pipelines, environment strategy, release controls, shared component standards and multi-SI code management.
- Own technical quality for analytics and tagging, including data layer, Adobe Tags / Launch, WebSDK / MobileSDK, UTM governance, CJA data flows and reporting reliability.
- Support AEP / AJO / CJA / Target enablement, including profile, audience, journey, decisioning, personalisation, experimentation and reporting use cases.
- Ensure MarTech solutions are secure, scalable, observable, resilient, maintainable, reusable and cost efficient.
- Validate vendor deliverables using clear technical acceptance criteria, test evidence, deployment checks and production readiness criteria.
- Ensure appropriate automated testing, CI/CD controls, monitoring, logging, alerting, access controls and operational runbooks are in place.
- Validate release plans, rollback procedures, capacity considerations, integration testing, disaster recovery and production readiness.
- Lead technical incident management, root-cause analysis and permanent remediation for MarTech-related issues.
- Identify and manage technical debt, architecture risks, recurring incidents, performance issues and operational weaknesses.
- Maintain technical documentation, architecture decisions, integration specifications, release notes, runbooks and support procedures.
- Drive knowledge transfer from vendors and ensure Qiddiya can independently operate, govern and evolve the MarTech ecosystem.
Requirements
- 8+ years of software engineering, technical lead, solution architecture or senior development experience in digital platforms, MarTech or customer-facing technology environments.
- Strong hands-on technical capability and ability to challenge implementation-level decisions.
- Experience with Adobe Experience Manager, AEMaaCS, Adobe Experience Cloud or equivalent enterprise digital experience platforms.
- Strong understanding of APIs, microservices, event-driven architecture, data flows, integrations, identity, consent, customer profiles and distributed systems.
- Experience with analytics and tagging technologies, preferably Adobe Tags / Launch, WebSDK / MobileSDK, CJA, data layer design, UTM governance and campaign tracking.
- Experience with CI/CD, cloud environments, release management, automated testing, observability, performance engineering, security and production operations.
