Technical Architect (Adobe AEM aka CQ5 CMS)
The increasingly complex web applications, mobile sites and applications, and digital experiences we build require novel user interfaces that work more like applications than websites, and are built upon the market leading Adobe Experience Manager platform (formerly known as CQ5). The Technical Architect for AEM CMS leads members of the VML Technical team in the creation, specification, costing, production and post-production of CMS driven web development projects. The Technical Architect in particular bridges both the client side and server side of our applications, helping to make a reality VML’s goal to apply the same quality processes used to build enterprise server applications to build enterprise JavaScript applications on the client side. The complexity of VML’s AEM site builds varies from simple editorially driven websites using out of the box AEM features, to transactional websites integrated with backend services using client side or edge side page assembly, to data driven websites integrating with data services using OSGi bundles. Some VML AEM sites use extensions for mobile device support or social communities, and increasingly VML is required to integrate AEM sites with wider features of the Adobe Marketing Cloud product suite. The software we build runs business critical systems with high performance, high availability requirements for some of the UK’s leading brands, taking millions of pounds per day in sales and being design to cope with tens of thousands of page impressions per second. As such, VML is looking for an engineer and architect who favours disciplined development and testing practices to the more trial and error approach that is often applied to campaign related digital marketing work, and applies techniques such as continuous integration, continuous testing and static code analysis to maintain quality. The successful applicant will have a minimum of 7 years of experience with a range of enterprise Java technologies and content management systems, with at least two years experience with AEM/CQ5 and ideally familiarity with client side technologies as well, especially MVC pattern JavaScript applications. They will be confident at leading groups of developers to a successful project conclusion.
