Full-Stack Developer - EDS

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Full-Stack Developer - EDS based in the United States.

The Full-Stack Developer will build and maintain high-performance, composable web experiences using Adobe Edge Delivery Services (EDS) and modern web technologies. You will take hands-on ownership of production websites, reusable components, performance optimization, integrations, and deployment workflows. The role combines deep front-end engineering with back-end, API, DevOps, and edge-platform capabilities. You will work directly with clients on complex digital projects, translating evolving requirements into scalable technical solutions and explaining trade-offs clearly. You will also collaborate across engineering and content teams to improve document-based authoring and digital delivery workflows. This is a fast-paced, high-ambiguity environment suited to an independent engineer who enjoys solving complex problems, experimenting with modern development tools, and taking ownership of meaningful client outcomes.

Accountabilities:

• Design, build, test, and maintain high-performance, edge-rendered websites and web applications using Adobe Edge Delivery Services (EDS), with reusable, semantic, and performant blocks and components built with native JavaScript, HTML5, and modern CSS3.
• Provide secondary ownership and technical backup for existing EDS-based digital properties, ensuring continuity, coverage, and collaborative architectural decision-making.
• Configure and scaffold new EDS projects using AEM boilerplate, including .hlx project configuration, routing and rewrites, and config.yaml.
• Own web performance optimization by tuning eager, lazy, and delayed loading phases and programmatic auto-blocking to achieve strong Core Web Vitals, including LCP, INP, and CLS, as well as high Lighthouse performance.
• Configure and optimize document-based authoring workflows involving Google Docs, Microsoft Word, and Adobe Document Authoring.
• Manage Git-first development and deployment workflows using GitHub and GitHub Actions, while supporting CDN and edge configuration, caching, and TTL strategies.
• Act as a client-facing technical resource, translating business and technical requirements into practical solutions and communicating technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.
• Integrate EDS-delivered experiences with broader Adobe technologies, including AEM Assets and headless APIs, as well as CRM and MarTech platforms where required.
• Use AI and agentic coding tools such as Copilot, Claude Code, and Cursor to plan, decompose, execute, and review development work.
• Participate in technical discovery, estimation, solution design, project kickoffs, and client delivery discussions as needed.
• Develop clean, maintainable, and well-documented code while contributing to code reviews, engineering standards, and development best practices.

Requirements

• 4+ years of professional full-stack development experience, including 2+ years of hands-on experience building, testing, and launching production websites with Adobe Edge Delivery Services (EDS), or a strong AEM background with the ability to ramp up quickly on EDS.
• Expert-level proficiency in native/vanilla JavaScript (ES6+), semantic HTML5, and modern CSS3, including custom properties, Grid, and Flexbox.
• Strong technical judgment around when to use native web technologies versus heavier frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue for EDS-based experiences.
• Proven experience optimizing Core Web Vitals, including Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), as well as Lighthouse performance.
• Working proficiency with React and Next.js for non-EDS front-end applications and internal tools.
• Advanced Git and GitHub expertise, including branching strategies, pull requests, code reviews, and CI automation such as GitHub Actions.
• Experience with DevOps practices and tooling beyond basic GitHub Actions usage, including CI/CD pipeline design, infrastructure-as-code, containerization, or cloud deployment.
• Experience with document-based authoring systems and document-to-HTML content workflows.
• Back-end development and API integration experience using REST, GraphQL, or similar technologies.
• Demonstrated experience working directly with clients or business stakeholders in a client-facing technical ro…
