AEM DEVELOPER JOB DESCRIPTION

Configuring an AEM dispatcher environment incorrectly costs hours of troubleshooting; building the wrong content model costs months of rework. Neither mistake belongs to a single sprint; both follow an AEM Developer through the product for years. This role owns the component architecture and content model design that marketing teams and product owners depend on to publish at scale across web and digital channels. Adobe Experience Manager's OSGi framework and Sling resource model are not incidental requirements here; they are the daily working surface.

As the AEM Developer, you will design, build, and maintain AEM components, templates, and integrations that power enterprise web and digital marketing properties, translating business requirements into AEM-specific implementations that meet content governance and performance standards. You will operate within an Agile or DevOps delivery team, collaborating with architects, product owners, UX designers, and content authors to ship release-quality code through continuous integration pipelines.

• Career Impact: Deep hands-on ownership of AEM component architecture and Adobe Marketing Cloud integrations builds the platform-specific expertise that enterprise digital agencies and large-scale e-commerce organizations actively recruit for at the architect and tech lead level.
• Business Impact: The digital properties this role maintains are the primary channel through which marketing campaigns reach end customers, meaning delays or defects in AEM delivery directly reduce the organization's ability to execute go-to-market plans on schedule.
• Growth Opportunity: AEM Developer experience with headless CMS configurations, cloud-native AEM deployments, and microservice integration patterns opens a direct path toward Solution Architect and Technical Lead roles in the Adobe Experience Cloud ecosystem.
• Company Value: Several employers in this space explicitly offer flexible working arrangements designed to support personal commitments alongside professional delivery, reflecting a measured approach to sustainable output rather than pure sprint velocity.

• Design and implement AEM components, templates, and content models that support enterprise marketing and commerce requirements.
• Build and configure OSGi services, Sling models, and dispatcher environments following established security and performance standards.
• Integrate Adobe Experience Manager with Marketing Cloud products and third-party systems, including CRM, analytics, and campaign platforms.
• Review code produced by team members and vendors, enforcing quality standards and identifying defects before testing phases.
• Collaborate with product owners, architects, and UX designers to translate business requirements into AEM-specific technical specifications.
• Develop and maintain automated unit and integration tests to validate component behavior and protect against regression.
• Support continuous integration and delivery pipelines, contributing to deployments, monitoring, and post-release troubleshooting.
• Mentor less experienced team members and facilitate knowledge transfer when projects transition to offshore or partner delivery teams.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• 2 or more years of AEM development experience, with hands-on delivery of component builds and integrations in a production environment.
• Proficiency in Java and J2EE development, including OSGi, Sling models, JCR API, and HTL/Sightly templating.
• Demonstrated ability to develop and consume RESTful and SOAP-based web services within AEM integrations.
• Experience developing and maintaining front-end code, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript within a web content management context.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD practices, including automated build processes, version control workflows, and deployment pipeline participation.
• Ability to work within Agile or Scrum delivery teams, including sprint ceremonies, estimation, and iterative delivery.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document technical decisions and explain solutions to non-technical stakeholders.

• Experience deploying or migrating AEM to cloud-native environments, including AEM as a Cloud Service configurations.
• Familiarity with headless CMS delivery patterns using AEM content fragments and experience fragments.
• Knowledge of OWASP security standards and Secure-SDLC practices applied within AEM development workflows.
• Experience configuring or integrating a Digital Asset Management system within an AEM-driven content architecture.

• Component defect rate per release cycle, measuring build quality before code reaches QA.
• Mean time to resolve production AEM incidents, reflecting responsiveness to authoring and publishing failures.
• Unit test coverage percentage across custom OSGi bundles, tracking adherence to automated quality standards.
• Sprint story completion rate within the committed iteration scope, indicating delivery predictability within the Agile team.
• Code review turnaround time in days, measuring contribution to team velocity and knowledge sharing.
• Typical tools: CMS platform (Adobe Experience Manager 6.x or Cloud Service); build and CI (commonly Maven, Jenkins, or GitLab CI); version control (commonly Git)

• Base Salary Range: $95,000 to $145,000 annually, depending on experience and location
• Bonus: Discretionary annual bonus, typically 5% to 10% of base salary
• Equity: Varies by employer; RSUs are common at larger technology and enterprise companies
