Summary:

As an AEM AI-Native Engineer, requirement is to lead a team of AEM engineers while remaining deeply hands-on. Analyze requirements, propose solutions, help designing architecture, and write production-grade AEM code — while holding accountability for team's delivery outcomes and quality standards.

Set up the AI-native engineering standard for the team and actively model it. From requirement analysis through to deployment and observability set the AI-native engineering standard and actively model it.

Participate in technical design sessions, mentor junior AEM engineers, embed directly with client engineering teams, and build reusable AI-accelerated AEM patterns that scale beyond individual engagements.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Requirement Analysis & Solution Design: Lead client requirement sessions use AI to synthesize briefs, surface gaps, and draft technical specifications — then validate the solution proposal
• Architecture & Component Development: Expected to be an SME and build complex components using Sling Models, OSGi, HTL, and Java use AI to accelerate pattern-based development, with full review of all AI-generated output
• Testing, Quality & Prompt Engineering: Define the team's testing strategy implement AI-generated test suites and automated quality gates maintain a shared library of AEM-specific prompts for component generation, OSGi config, and code review
• Integration & Performance: Involve in the AEM integrations with third-party APIs, DAM, and CRM systems diagnose and resolve complex performance issues using AI-assisted observability tooling
• AEMaaCS Delivery: Cloud Manager pipeline governance, Oak index management, dispatcher configuration, and cloud-native OSGi patterns use AI to generate deployment runbooks and environment checklists
• EDS: Guide the team on Edge Delivery Services block development and Helix/Franklin authoring leverage AI to accelerate block scaffolding and performance analysis
• LLM API & LLMOps: Knowledge of LLM APIs Integration with AEM-adjacent application layers manage token limits, latency, and cost trade-offs apply prompt versioning, AI output observability, and cost monitoring across the team's AI toolchain
• Team Management & Mentoring: Lead and coordinate the AEM team own sprint velocity, quality, and delivery milestones mentor junior engineers on AEM best practices and AI-native habits — model the standard, don't just set it
• AI Tooling Standards: Define team-level standards for AI-assisted development — prompt libraries, code review workflows for AI-generated code, and quality gates
• Client Engagement: Lead technical design sessions, architecture walkthroughs, and code-with sessions with client engineering teams build trust through transparency about trade-offs and AI tool limitations
  
  

Professional & Technical Skills:

• AEM Core: Deep proficiency in AEM Sites — component development, content modelling, MSM, DAM integration, and workflow design
• AEM Development: Hands-on expertise with HTL (Sightly), Sling Models, OSGi/Felix, and Java in production-grade delivery
• AEMaaCS: Working experience with Cloud Manager CI/CD pipelines, content versioning, and cloud-native OSGi development patterns
• AEM EDS: Working knowledge of EDS block development, Franklin/Helix authoring, and performance-first web delivery principles
• AI-Assisted Development: Experience setting team-level AI standards proficient use of GitHub Copilot and Claude for code generation, architecture assistance, test authoring, and AEM documentation
• Agentic System: Orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI) and RAG pipelines understanding of how AEM content APIs connect to agent-based architectures
• Programming Languages: Strong Java and JavaScript proficiency in HTL (Sightly) Python
• Adobe Platform Developers APIs (AEM, Firefly, AEP, AJO, etc)
• Cloud & DevOps: Kubernetes, Docker, microservices, CI/CD pipelines
• Agile: Experience leading Agile teams confident running sprint ceremonies with workstream-level delivery accountability
  
  

Additional Information:

• Bachelor s degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field
• 5+ years of AEM development experience in production environments
• Minimum 1 year of hands-on AI-assisted development in a production AEM delivery context — demonstrable through specific examples, not passive exposure
• Demonstrated team lead or senior individual contributor experience with delivery accountability alongside hands-on technical contribution
• A 15-year full-time education background is required
