AEM Developer – EDS

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.
