About this role
Lead Software Engineers will build and operate content infrastructure for marketing, including CMS and Digital Asset Management (DAM) platforms. The role focuses on APIs and microservices, secure digital asset pipelines, Elasticsearch-powered search/retrieval, and resilient system patterns for a regulated environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and maintain APIs and microservices for content authoring and multi-channel publishing
- Design and operate digital asset pipelines (ingestion, transformation, metadata tagging, rights management, CDN-backed delivery with security controls)
- Contribute to content migration efforts with ETL pipelines and data integrity validation
- Implement search and retrieval capabilities using Elasticsearch
- Write well-tested, production-ready code and support CI/CD and resilience patterns (RTO/RPO, circuit breakers, graceful degradation, failover)
Technical Overview
You will design APIs and microservices, implement digital asset ingestion/transformation/rights management and CDN-backed delivery with signed URLs and token-based access, and support content migration using ETL pipelines (e.g., AEM to Bloomreach). The platform work includes search/retrieval with Elasticsearch, robust testing (unit/integration/contract), CI/CD participation, and resilience patterns covering RTO/RPO with failover and graceful degradation.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is a Lead Software Engineer (or Senior Lead Software Engineer) with 4+ years of software engineering experience and 1+ year of cloud computing experience across AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud. They have strong RESTful API and microservices experience, built search/retrieval with Elasticsearch, and shipped production code with unit, integration, and contract testing plus CI/CD pipelines.
