Job Description

Role summary

We’re looking for a senior-level developer to build, enhance, and support modern digital experiences on a headless Sitecore XM Cloud platform. This person will work across the full software lifecycle—design through production support—helping deliver scalable, secure, high-performing frontend solutions. You’ll also act as a technical go-to within the team and contribute to shared standards and continuous improvement.

What you’ll do

• Own end-to-end development tasks for multiple applications and services, including solution design, implementation, estimation, debugging, unit testing, and technical documentation.
• Serve as a trusted technical expert during discovery, analysis, development, and release phases.
• Partner with engineering leadership and stakeholders to deliver well-architected, enterprise-grade solutions that align with current priorities and future growth.
• Define and drive testing approaches, building thorough test plans, and ensuring appropriate stress/load coverage for high-impact areas.
• Review code and components for adherence to architecture, quality, and engineering standards.
• Build in observability from day one, including logging, monitoring, and proactive alerting to reduce downtime.
• Maintain and enhance existing platforms, sites, and databases; identify improvements that increase stability and performance.
• Provide advanced production support as an escalation point, including participation in an on-call rotation for critical events outside normal hours.
• Diagnose and resolve complex live issues with persistence and clear follow-through until fully closed.
• Evaluate and recommend third-party tools or vendor solutions, leading selection and adoption when needed.
• Promote knowledge sharing through mentoring, documentation, and team collaboration.
• Apply secure development practices and remediate issues surfaced by security scans or audits.
• Contribute to other related responsibilities as business needs evolve.
• Build and connect Next.js (14/15+) frontends to Sitecore XM Cloud using Sitecore JSS, GraphQL, and TypeScript.
• Configure and improve CI/CD workflows for frontend delivery, including Vercel pipelines and global environment tuning.
• Use modern rendering patterns (SSG, SSR, ISR) to achieve fast, reliable UX and strong Google PageSpeed outcomes.
• Architect personalization and real-time content/data experiences with Sitecore CDP/Personalize and Sitecore Search.
• Work closely with product, UX, backend, and DevOps partners to troubleshoot and solve cross-system problems.

Organizational impact

• Delivers daily results that materially affect operational outcomes within your domain.
• Works independently with minimal oversight and strong ownership of deliverables.
• May lead projects or key processes within your area of responsibility.
• Regularly reviews or coaches colleagues at earlier career stages.

Leadership and talent contribution

• Provides practical guidance, mentoring, and technical coaching to teammates.
• May coordinate small projects, delegating tasks and reviewing output to ensure quality.

Qualifications and experience

• Broad technical grounding gained through a university degree (or equivalent hands-on expertise).
• High school diploma or GED required.
• Typically 4–6 years of relevant professional development experience.
• Sitecore expertise: 5+ years building on Sitecore, including 2–3 years delivering production work on Sitecore XM Cloud (not legacy XM/XP).
• Headless/frontend depth: Advanced capability in Next.js, React, TypeScript, and GraphQL.
• Deployment & DevOps: Demonstrated success with Vercel deployments, performance tuning, and CI/CD platforms such as Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.
• Core engineering skills: Mastery of Sitecore JSS, modern web architecture, and cloud-native development patterns.
