WE'RE HIRING! If you love data and are looking for unlimited growth opportunities, we want to talk with you about joining Further.

Further is a data, cloud, and AI company whose focus is helping companies turn raw data into the right decisions. We have an award winning culture of extraordinary people. Our purpose is to enable people to thrive so that businesses can thrive. We believe that the work you do should matter - it should be meaningful to you professionally and personally, and it should have a positive impact on both you and our clients. If this sounds exciting to you, let's chat!

What experience should you have:

• 10+ years in enterprise data, MarTech, or digital architecture roles.
• 3+ years of experience within the Adobe Experience Platform, including one or more: RT-CDP, Journey Optimizer (AJO), Customer Journey Analytics (CJA), Web SDK.
• Ability to work with JSON structures, SQL (via AEP Query Service/Data Distiller), and REST APIs.
• Expert-level knowledge of XDM (Experience Data Model) and Identity Namespaces.
• Familiarity with Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK (Alloy.js) and server-side data collection.
• Experience leading client discovery sessions, translating "marketing speak" into technical requirements, and presenting to executive stakeholders.

Nice to have:

• Experience in consultancy environments.
• Adobe certifications (RT-CDP, AJO, CJA).
• Knowledge of data privacy frameworks.

What you'll be doing in this role:

• You will own the technical roadmap for AEP implementations, defining how data flows from ingestion (streaming/batch) to activation.
• You aren't just drawing boxes; you will lead the setup of schemas, datasets, identity stitching rules, and merge policies within the AEP interface.
• Architecting the frameworks for DULE (Data Usage Labeling & Enforcement), consent strings, and PII management to ensure compliant data usage.
• Designing the "connective tissue" between AEP and the broader stack, including Snowflake/Databricks, CRM systems (Salesforce/MS Dynamics), and advertising destinations.
• Reviewing the work of engineers and consultants to ensure implementation matches the architectural blueprint and Adobe best practices.

What you'll need to accomplish in your first year:

• Lead the architectural design and oversee the successful "Go-Live" of at least two enterprise-scale AEP deployments.
• Develop and document internal Further "Playbooks" for AEP schema design and identity resolution to streamline future client work.
• Serve as the go-to expert for complex troubleshooting, helping pods navigate difficult profile-stitching or data-latency issues.

Our total rewards program is designed for your protection, peace of mind, and overall well-being. In addition to our outstanding basics, we offer a net-zero cost medical option, company contributions to your HSA, fertility support, fully-paid parental leave, a monthly stipend for your lifestyle spending account, and much more.
