• Contribute to refactoring and ongoing improvements across the backend codebase
• Participate in sprint planning, estimation, and technical decision-making
• Contribute to technical documentation, runbooks, and internal knowledge-sharing

Collaboration

• Work closely with architects, frontend developers, QA engineers, DevOps engineers, and non-technical stakeholders
• Explain technical decisions clearly and support delivery across cross-functional teams

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of hands-on AEM backend development experience in enterprise environments
• Strong proficiency in Java, Sling, and OSGi for AEM component and service development
• Solid experience with AEM Core Components, Content Fragments, Experience Fragments, and Editable Templates
• Hands-on experience with Sling Models, HTL (Sightly), and Adobe Granite APIs for server-side rendering and content resolution
• Experience developing AEM workflows, launchers, and custom process steps
• Strong working knowledge of AEM Dispatcher, including configuration, caching rules, filter rules, and related setup
• Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs and GraphQL endpoints within AEM
