Job description

Shift Paradigm is an execution-led strategic consultancy that bridges the gap between enterprise strategy and technical reality. We partner with Fortune 500 brands and emerging leaders to solve the inherent complexity of modern digital marketing. As partners to the world’s leading MarTech platforms, including Adobe, Salesforce, Optimizely, and Braze, we deploy integrated experts across data analytics, marketing strategy, technology development, engineering, and revenue operations to ensure our clients’ tech stacks don't just exist, but perform.

Position Summary

Shift paradigm is seeking a Full-Stack Developer with deep, hands-on Adobe Edge Delivery Services (EDS) experience and broader modern web and platform skills to join our team in building high-performance, composable web experiences. The role is best suited to someone who is comfortable in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments, where requirements evolve quickly, priorities shift, and the right path forward is not always fully defined at the outset. This role works directly with our clients on large, complex projects, so client facing or agency experience is a huge plus!

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as a secondary point of ownership and backup for our existing EDS-based digital properties, working alongside our current developer to ensure coverage, continuity, and shared architectural decision-making
• Scaffold and configure new EDS projects on the AEM boilerplate, managing .hlx project configuration, routing/rewrites, and config.yaml
• Own page-loading performance: tune eager, lazy, and delayed loading phases (loadEager, loadLazy, loadDelayed) and programmatic auto-blocking to hit elite Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) and Lighthouse scores
• Bridge engineering and content teams by configuring and optimizing document-based authoring workflows (Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Adobe Document Authoring)
• Manage a Git-first deployment workflow (GitHub, GitHub Actions) where code changes sync directly to the edge, and work with CDN/edge configuration (e.g., Fastly, Cloudflare), including caching and TTL strategy
• Serve as a client-facing technical resource, translating client requirements into working solutions and clearly explaining technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders
• Integrate EDS-delivered pages with the broader Adobe ecosystem where needed (AEM Assets, headless APIs) and with CRM/MarTech systems as our platform strategy requires
• Leverage AI/agentic coding tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) to plan and execute development work, from task decomposition to autonomous or semi-autonomous code generation and review.
• Participate in technical discovery, estimation, and solutioning conversations with clients during project kickoff and delivery, as needed.
• Write clean, maintainable, well-documented code and contribute to code reviews and engineering best practices

Required Qualifications

• 4+ years of professional full-stack development experience, including 2+ years of hands-on experience building, testing, and launching live production websites on Adobe Edge Delivery Services (EDS) - or a strong AEM background with demonstrated, fast ramp-up on EDS
• Proven track record optimizing for Core Web Vitals Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) and Lighthouse performance
• Working proficiency in React and Next.js for building non-EDS front-end applications and internal tools
• Mastery of Git/GitHub workflows: branching, pull requests, code review, and CI automation (e.g., GitHub Actions)
• Experience with DevOps practices and tooling (CI/CD pipeline design, infrastructure-as-code, containerization, or cloud deployment) beyond basic GitHub Actions usage
• Experience with document-based authoring and document-to-HTML content workflows
• Experience with back-end development and API/integration work (REST, GraphQL, or similar)
• Proven experience working directly with clients or business stakeholders in a client-facing capacity
• Demonstrated ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments with shifting priorities and evolving requirements
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, and the professional maturity to operate as a long-term, trusted member of the team
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of deliverables with limited day-to-day direction

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience migrating legacy AEM Sites (HTL/Sightly, OSGi, Sling Models) to a modern EDS architecture
• Hands-on experience with agentic AI development workflows - both planning multi-step technical work for AI agents to execute and directly operating agentic coding tools in production codebases.
• Experience with .NET/C# for back-end services or API development
• Experience with edge/CDN configuration (e.g., Fastly, Cloudflare), including caching strategy and Edge-Side Includes (ESI)
• Experience with the broader Adobe Experience Cloud (Adobe Target, Adobe Launch / Web SDK, AEM Assets)
• Experience in a digital agency or consulting environment supporting multiple concurrent client engagements
• SEO fundamentals, Open Graph/schema configuration, and edge-side analytics implementation
• Adobe certifications
