The Position:
Client: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania – Commonwealth Office of Digital Experience (CODE PA)
Position Title: CODE PA - AEM Solution Architect FA1 (800658)
Location: Hybrid; Remote Off-Site and On-Site in Harrisburg, PA

Note:  Position is hybrid; primarily remote off-site with on-site as required.  Candidates must currently reside within a reasonable commuting distance of Harrisburg, PA to be considered.

Note:  Interviews may be in-person or virtual; candidates should be prepared for either.

CODE PA is seeking an experienced AEM Solution Architect to assess the Commonwealth''s majority vendor-built Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service implementation and define a sustainable long-term support model for the implementation of PA.gov.  PA.gov is one of the Commonwealth''s most visible digital platforms.  Its current AEM environment is highly customized and largely opaque to internal teams.  This role exists to change that - to bring clarity to the architecture, identify what is sound versus what introduces risk, and recommend the staffing, governance, and support approach needed for the platform''s next phases.  The selected candidate will lead an upfront assessment in the first several months, then continue as a strategic technical advisor through the engagement, supporting transition execution, governance, and platform decisions as they arise.

The AEM Solution Architect partners with CODE PA leadership, engineering, operations, procurement, and the current technical vendor to evaluate the platform''s current state and shape its future.  The work begins as a diagnostic engagement and evolves into ongoing architectural advisory as transition activities get underway.  Lead architecture and solution design for relevant AEM tools, including: AEM Sites, Assets, Forms, and others.  This role requires deep AEM expertise, the judgment to distinguish standard practice from over-customization, and the communication skills to make complex technical realities legible to executive and non-technical audiences.  The candidate will be responsible for guiding internal and external development teams on security and performance best practices as well as code review, enforcement and creation of standards, and support deployment/governance strategies.

Over the course of the engagement, the architect will produce written assessments, recommendations, and supporting documentation that give CODE PA a clear understanding of the PA.gov AEM platform and a credible path forward for its support.  Specific artifacts will be defined collaboratively based on assessment findings and organizational needs.

- Platform assessment and architecture review. Evaluate the current AEM as a Cloud Service implementation. Distinguish standard platform practice from over-customization or unnecessary complexity. Assess long-term maintainability and recommend simplification, stabilization, or remediation where warranted.
- Support model and transition planning. Define what support work can reasonably be performed internally, by contractors, or by a vendor. Develop a credible transition approach. Identify the skills and roles required for the future-state team.
- Documentation and knowledge transfer. Identify gaps in existing platform documentation. Establish documentation standards. Guide knowledge transfer between the current vendor and future support resources so that critical knowledge lives in the organization rather than in individuals.
- Cross-functional collaboration. Work with stakeholders across product, UX, and engineering teams.
- Architecture support. Evaluate and define component, template and experience architecture. Translate business requirements into technical architecture, workflows and content models.
- Governance and supportability. Recommend guardrails to ensure future enhancements align with sound AEM practice. Advise leadership on architectural tradeoffs, technical debt, and the long-term implications of platform decisions.
- Stakeholder communication. Serve as a trusted technical advisor to CODE PA leadership. Translate architectural complexity into clear, actionable guidance for executive, procurement, and operational audiences.
- Risk and decision support. Surface platform risks and operational dependencies with clear analysis and decision points. Help leadership weigh the cost of maintaining the current model against alternatives.
- Vendor and contractor oversight. Evaluate current vendor responsibilities and provide technical input into future contractor or vendor scopes, labor categories, and accountability expectations.
