Backend AEM Developer

Backend AEM Developer

📍 Location: EU or Middle East (Remote)
 

Job Overview:

We are looking for a skilled Backend AEM Developer with 3+ years of experience to join our team. You will be responsible for building robust AEM components and services that power exceptional digital experiences. We are not looking for a "cog in the machine." We are looking for a developer who takes pride in their craft, manages their own time effectively, and communicates proactively. You will be given clear requirements and the autonomy to build them—we expect you to own that responsibility without constant oversight.

Responsibilities:

- AEM Development: Develop backend logic for AEM Components, Services, and Workflows using Java, Sling, and OSGi.

- Implementation: Translate functional requirements into clean, efficient Java code and OSGi configurations.

- Unit Testing: Write meaningful Unit Tests (JUnit/Mockito) for your code to ensure reliability before it hits QA.

- Integration: Implement backend integrations with third-party APIs (REST/SOAP) based on defined architecture.

- Collaboration: Work with Frontend Developers to agree on JSON output and Sling Models before coding begins.

- Troubleshooting: Debug issues in local and hosted environments, using logs and the Felix console to identify root causes.

The Mindset:

- Commitment to Quality: You take pride in your craft. You self-review your code and test against the actual requirements because you want to ship work that works, not just work that compiles.

- Communication Over Assumption: You value clarity. If a deadline is slipping or a requirement is vague, you speak up early rather than keeping your head down and hoping for the best.

- Team-First Attitude: You understand that we win and lose together. You are approachable and willing to jump on a quick call to unblock a peer, knowing they would do the same for you.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Adobe Certified Professional – AEM Developer.

- Experience with Cloud Manager and CI/CD pipelines.

- Solid understanding of HTL/Sightly.

- English: Fluent.

Technical Stack: AEM 6.5+, AEMaaCS, Java (J2EE), Apache Sling, OSGi, Sling Models, JCR/Oak, RESTful APIs, JSON, Maven, Git, JUnit/Mockito, IntelliJ/Eclipse.
