Front End (Software Engineering) • Expectation: The candidate should demonstrate more than just "coding" skills; they must apply engineering rigors like Test-Driven Development (TDD) and clean code principles. • Example: "We expect a candidate who can build modular, reusable UI components that are unit-tested and optimized for performance, ensuring the front-end remains maintainable as the application scales." 2. React, Node.js • Expectation: Proficiency in building full-stack front end applications with a deep understanding of state management (e.g., Redux, Context API) and asynchronous API design. • Example: "The candidate should be able to build a React dashboard that consumes data from a custom-built Node.js middleware, handling complex data flows and ensuring a lag-free user experience." 3. GCP Cloud Run • Expectation: Experience with serverless containerization. They should know how to package applications into Docker containers and deploy them to a managed cloud environment. • Example: "We expect the engineer to deploy a microservice to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud Run, configuring auto-scaling parameters and managing environment secrets securely." 4. Java • Expectation: Solid understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), specifically for Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) backend development (OSGi bundles, Sling Models). • Example: "The candidate should be able to write custom Java services or 'Sling Models' within AEM to process complex business logic before it is rendered by the React front-end."
