AEM Tech Lead

About the role

JOB PURPOSE

We are seeking a highly motivated AEM Tech Lead to serve as the architectural backbone of our Adobe Experience Manager practice. In this role, you will bridge the gap between high-level business ambitions and technical execution, ensuring our projects are delivered with scalp-level precision and scalability.

As a Tech Lead, you aren't just a developer; you are a visionary who maintains a "helicopter view" of the entire ecosystem. You will anticipate integration challenges, challenge the status quo with the latest Adobe innovations, and serve as a mentor who elevates the technical craft of every engineer on your team.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Technical Leadership: Architect and oversee the implementation of end-to-end AEM solutions within complex enterprise environments.
• Strategic Advisory: Stay at the forefront of the Adobe Experience Cloud roadmap, proactively proposing decisions that align with our clients' long-term growth.
• System Integration: Monitor the broader technical landscape to identify and mitigate risks involving third-party integrations and legacy systems.
• Mentorship & Growth: Actively coach and upskill team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and technical excellence.
• Hands-on Excellence: Lead by example by contributing to core development tasks while ensuring the team adheres to best practices in AEM solution design.

WHAT YOU BRING:

• Deep project knowledge and hands-on experience with Adobe Experience Manager (preferably AEMaaCS), Adobe Commerce, Adobe Customer Journey Analytics, and ideally marketing automation platforms.
• Proficiency in development technologies including Java, JCR, HTL, and OSGi configurations, as well as front-end frameworks like React or Angular for headless CMS implementations.
• Practical experience with APIs (e.g., RESTful, GraphQL) and middleware solutions for seamless integration.
• Adobe certifications (e.g., Adobe Certified Expert, Adobe Certified Master) are a significant advantage.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies such as Scrum or Kanban, with demonstrated success leading teams in an Agile environment.
• The ability to consult our clients and teams on the best implementation approaches
• You speak and write English at a professional level (C1)
