Senior AEM Developer

We are looking for a Senior Front-end Developer with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) component development experience to join our team at Think Company.

Think Company operates in the United States as a remote-first company, with potential for as-needed travel associated to client needs. As such, please consider this a remote (work from home) position. Please note that Thinkers are expected to operate within Eastern Standard Time Zone business hours.

FLSA Status: Non-Exempt

The ideal candidate for this role will be comfortable translating designs into accessible, stateful, component-based code and able to discern when to pull from an existing code pattern library versus create new. An in-depth understanding of the modern web development stack—from npm modules to code bundling and from RESTful APIs to browser rendering—is crucial. You should also be comfortable coding to established standards/conventions, working with code versioning systems, and collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Nice-to-haves include experience with design systems, writing test-driven code, experience working in an Agile Scrum environment, and familiarity with container-based virtualization on AWS. (Don't let these scare you off if you haven't done them before!)

No matter your technical and teamwork qualifications, we're looking for someone who happily contributes to documentation, demonstrates attention to detail, has strong communication skills, and aligns with Think Company's core values.

Requirements
