• 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.

• 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.
