As a Senior AEM Backend Developer, you will play a pivotal role in designing, building, and optimizing robust, scalable digital experiences using the Adobe Experience Manager ecosystem. You will be responsible for translating complex business requirements into high-performing backend architectures, ensuring seamless integration with third-party services, and maintaining the integrity and security of our core platforms. As a senior member of the technical team, you will also provide technical leadership, mentor junior developers, and drive engineering best practices across the development lifecycle. 

How your day-to-day work will look like: 

• Design, develop, and implement backend AEM solutions including custom OSGi bundles, Sling Models, Sling Servlets, and workflow components. 

• Build and maintain AEM content structures using JCR/Oak, Content Fragments, Experience Fragments, and DAM integrations. 

• Develop and optimize HTL (Sightly) templates in collaboration with frontend teams, ensuring clean separation of concerns.  

• Integrate AEM with third-party systems and APIs, including RESTful and GraphQL services. 

• Lead code reviews, enforce coding standards, and mentor junior developers on AEM backend best practices. 

• Collaborate with architects to contribute to solution design decisions and technical documentation. 

• Debug, profile, and optimize AEM performance at the component, page, and infrastructure level. 

• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives, backlog refinement). 

• Communicate delivery status, technical risks, and blockers effectively to team leads and client stakeholders. 

• Contribute to CI/CD pipeline improvements and deployment automation using Maven and Cloud Manager. 

This would make you the ideal candidate: 

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.  

• 5+ Years of experience working in backend software development. 

• 3+ Years of experience working with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM 6.x and/or AEM as a Cloud Service). 

• Strong proficiency in Java, with solid understanding of OSGi/Felix framework and Sling architecture. 

• Experience building and maintaining Sling Models, Sling Servlets, OSGi services, and custom AEM components. 

• Solid knowledge of JCR/Apache Oak content repository and AEM data modeling best practices. 

• Experience with AEM DAM, Content Fragments, Experience Fragments, and Multi-Site Manager (MSM). 

• Familiarity with HTL (Sightly) and server-side rendering patterns in AEM. 

• Experience with Maven-based build pipelines and AEM package management (CRXDE, Package Manager). 

• Knowledge of RESTful API design and integration patterns within AEM. 

• Experience working in Agile/Scrum delivery environments. 

• Active use of AI coding tools as part of daily development workflow — particularly Windsurf and Claude. We expect candidates to be comfortable leveraging AI assistance for code generation, debugging, documentation, and implementation acceleration. 

• Advanced English Level is required for this role, as you will work with US clients. Effective communication in English is essential to deliver the best solutions to our clients and expand your horizons.
