The Senior AEM DevSecOps Engineer

As a SeniorAEM DevSecOps Engineer, you will oversee and automate our AEM infrastructure with a primary focus on security, reliability, and automated compliance. You will bridge the gap between development and operations by embedding security directly into the CI/CD pipeline and managing complex identity and content delivery architectures. Your role is pivotal in ensuring that our platform is not only high-performing but resilient against modern threats like DDoS attacks.
What You'll Be Doing
  • Identity & Access Management: Configure and manage AEM Cloud.
  • Edge & CDN Protection: Manage and configure CDN (e.g., Cloudflare, or Adobe-managed CDN) to optimize performance and implement DDoS mitigation strategies.
  • Traffic Filtering: Implement and maintain Traffic Filter Rules and Web Application Firewall (WAF) configurations at the CDN level to block malicious spikes and sophisticated application-layer attacks.
  • Automated Security Scanning: Integrate security tools (SAST/DAST) and secrets detection into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab) to identify vulnerabilities early in the development cycle.
  • Environment Hardening: Install and manage AEM author, publish, and dispatcher instances with a focus on Dispatcher security hardening, SSL certificate automation, and ModSecurity configurations.
  • Observability & Incident Response: Monitor system performance and security logs using tools like Splunk to proactively address threats and performance bottlenecks.
  • Compliance Auditing: Regularly audit the platform and its integrations (Adobe Analytics, Target) to ensure alignment with corporate security policies and industry standards.
What You'll Bring
  • Experience: 5+ years in administering and securing AEM environments.
  • Architectural Knowledge: Strong understanding of Headless CMS security best practices, including API key management and JWT authentication.
  • Network Security: Expertise in managing CDNs and implementing DDoS mitigation and WAF rules.
  • Technical Stack: Proficiency in Apache Sling, JCR, OSGi, and web servers like Nginx or Apache.
  • Automation: Hands-on experience with scripting (Python) and CI/CD tools (Jenkins, CircleCI) to automate security and deployment workflows.
  • Cloud Experience: Experience with cloud-based AEM implementations, such as AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) or AWS/Azure.
  • Diagnostic Skills: Proficiency in analyzing log files, thread dumps, and heap dumps to resolve security incidents or performance outages.

Nice to have:
  • Oversee the security of AEM Headless deployments, including protecting GraphQL endpoints, managing CORS policies, and ensuring secure communication for decoupled front-end frameworks (React/Angular).
  • Proven experience integrating Vercel Cloud with AEM cloud.
  • Knowledge of NextJS, React code.
