Responsibilities

• Ship features, fix bugs, and improve the platform daily across the full stack — React components, server-side rendering, Sling Models, OSGi services, servlets, and content APIs.

• Build frontend experiences and backend services for AI-powered features, including chatbot interfaces, automated translation, personalized content delivery, and intelligent search — leveraging Snowflake's own AI products.
• Drive ongoing platform modernization — caching strategies, performance optimization, and architectural improvements.
• Take projects from scoping through delivery, collaborating cross-functionally with teams like SEO, Developer Relations, Product Marketing.
• Uphold and champion coding standards, accessibility requirements (WCAG AA), and testing practices.
• Build and maintain integrations with external services, including analytics platforms, CDN layers (Cloudflare, Fastly), third-party APIs, and Snowflake's own AI products.
• Collaborate with vendor and global engineering partners, providing technical direction and code reviews.

Requirements

• Proactive self-starter with a strong sense of ownership and initiative.
• Full-stack expertise spanning React/TypeScript on the frontend and Java/AEM on the backend.
• Hands-on experience with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) — Sling Models, OSGi services, HTL, and content APIs.

• Strong cross-functional collaboration and communication skills.
• Experience championing technical standards and mentoring other engineers.
• Pragmatic, outcome-focused mindset with strong attention to detail and code quality.
