Role Overview:

We are seeking an AI-first Full Stack Engineer to build across the AEM stack, from frontend components through to backend services, while working closely with senior engineers and architects. This role requires current, hands on use of AI coding tools (Claude, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor or equivalent) as a normal part of daily work, not as an occasional add on, and the ability to explain and defend any AI generated code before it reaches a pull request.

Key Responsibilities:

• Use AI coding tools as your default way of working across code, tests, and documentation, reviewing and testing everything before it goes into a pull request
• Build and maintain AEM Sites components, templates, and Sling Models under the guidance of senior engineers
• Configure and support AEM Assets, including Digital Asset Management (DAM) workflows
• Develop backend services in Java (Spring, REST APIs), contributing to integration work with enterprise systems
• Build componentised frontend experiences using React JS or an equivalent framework, applying WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility guidance
• Work to Git branching and pull request standards, taking part in code review as both author and reviewer
• Resolve CI/CD build failures and quality gate issues rather than handing them on
• Write and maintain automated tests using Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium
• Take ownership of features within a sprint, escalating design questions to senior engineers or architects
• Participate fully in Agile ceremonies: sprint planning, stand ups, retrospectives, and showcases

Qualifications and Requirements:

• 4-6+ years in full stack software engineering, with at least 2 years on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM)
• Demonstrated, current use of AI coding assistants (Claude/Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor or equivalent) across code, tests, and documentation, with the ability to explain and defend AI-generated code you commit
• AEM Sites component and template development: Sling Models, HTL/Sightly, client libraries, OSGi services
• Hands on experience with AEM Assets, including DAM workflows and metadata basics
• Strong core Java (Java 8+), Spring, and RESTful API design
• React JS or an equivalent modern frontend framework; component driven development; working awareness of WCAG 2.1 AA
• Experience with Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium for automated testing
• Experience working in Agile teams with active participation in Scrum ceremonies
• Good written and verbal communication skills; comfortable working closely with senior engineers, architects, and cross functional teams
• Nice to have: exposure to AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS), Content Fragments/GraphQL, Edge Delivery Services, CRM integrations (Salesforce/Dynamics), Adobe Analytics, or an Adobe Certification
