AEM Developer - EDS
Summary
Our client is seeking a mid- to senior-level front -end developer to join a small, experienced delivery team supporting an existing enterprise microsite built on AEM Edge Delivery Services. The team needs a hands-on front-end developer to take over ongoing maintenance and drive steady improvements against an active backlog. This is practical, foundational UI work: building and refining the core blocks that make the site run, not exotic one-off functionality (at least not right now). The initial engagement is 3 months, and the team expects extensions for people who deliver.
Responsibilities
- Take ownership of an existing AEM EDS microsite including day-to-day front-end development, maintenance, and enhancements.
- Apply solid dev skills in HTML, vanilla JavaScript, and CSS.
- Build and refine foundational UI blocks including carousels, cards, heroes, tabs, and accordions using vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
- Support content authors working in document-based authoring and Universal Editor.
- Work through a prioritized backlog, delivering incremental improvements on agreed timelines.
- Ask questions early and clarify requirements rather than guess (this team encourages it).
- Step into client conversations when needed to clarify requirements, walk through work, or give status.
What Success Looks Like in 90 Days
- Consistently meeting agreed timelines and commitments.
- Visible progress against the backlog.
- Trusted by the team and the client as the go-to front-end resource for the site.
Requirements
- Mid- to senior-level front-end development experience in vanilla JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS without reliance on frameworks like React or Angular.
- Hands-on AEM Edge Delivery Services experience building and customizing blocks.
- Experience with document-based authoring (Google Docs/SharePoint to EDS).
- Experience with AEM Universal Editor.
- Ability to communicate clearly and confidently including speaking directly with clients.
- A track record of meeting commitments and raising risks before they become missed deadlines.
Preferred
- Adobe AEM certifications.
- Experience optimizing EDS sites for Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals.
- Comfort with GitHub-based development workflows.
This is a 3-month remote contract with likely extensions. Low-cost employee benefits, paid time off, paid Holidays, and a 401(k) (with an immediately vested company match) are available with TriCom during the contract period. H-1B visa sponsorship is not available for this position. No third parties, please.
