  • Debug complex issues across AEM, integrations, and infrastructure layers.
  • Provide technical guidance to internal and external teams throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Participate in architectural discussions and contribute to best practices for AEM development.


What You'll Bring (Including Experience):

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) development.
  • Experience with AEM 6.5 or AEM as a Cloud Service.
  • Strong understanding of AEM as a headless CMS, including content fragments, APIs, and headless delivery patterns.

  • Knowledge of cloud hosting environments (Azure preferred).
  • Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving abilities.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams.


Preferred:-

  • Experience integrating AEM with external systems (search platforms, databases, third-party APIs).
  • Knowledge of CI/CD processes and Git-based workflows.
  • Familiarity with broader front-end technologies: React.js, HTML5, CSS3, modern JavaScript.
