•           Collaborative Development: Work actively within an agile team to build and maintain high-performance CMS solutions.

Required Experience & Skills

•           Sitecore Expertise: Deep, hands-on experience implementing Sitecore XM Cloud or leading migrations from on-premises XP/XM headless solutions to XM Cloud.

•           Proven ability to audit legacy custom CMS codebases and translate them into modern, cloud-native technical tasks.

•           Backend Development: Strong proficiency in C# and .NET architectures for handling legacy custom logic and integration endpoints.

•           Frontend Architecture: Modern web development mastery using Next.js and TypeScript within a decoupled, headless framework.

Preferred Qualifications

•           Hosting & Rendering: Experience utilizing Vercel or managing on-premises Node.js servers for headless hosting within a Sitecore architecture.

•           Infrastructure Design: Background building or architecting high-availability (HA) setups to ensure maximum platform uptime.
