We are seeking a strong, motivated Senior Software Engineer to lead the evolution of our digital platforms. In this role, you will champion the development, implementation, and maintenance of innovative, content-management-based software solutions.

  Identify migration scope and build a detailed list of tasks required to port custom, on-premises XM implementations to XM Cloud.
• PoC Execution:
  Develop, deploy, test, and verify an end-to-end PoC that validates the new XM Cloud architecture.
• Technical Documentation:
  Author comprehensive migration blueprints, including detailed architecture and design diagrams.
• Collaborative Development:
  Work actively within an agile team to build and maintain high-performance CMS solutions.
• Required Experience & Skills
• Sitecore Expertise:
  Deep, hands-on experience implementing Sitecore XM Cloud or leading migrations from on-premises XP/XM headless solutions to XM Cloud.
• Proven ability to audit legacy custom CMS codebases and translate them into modern, cloud-native technical tasks.
• Backend Development:
  Strong proficiency in C# and .NET architectures for handling legacy custom logic and integration endpoints.
• Frontend Architecture:
  Modern web development mastery using Next.js and Type Script within a decoupled, headless framework.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hosting & Rendering:
  Experience utilizing Vercel or managing on-premises Node.js servers for headless hosting within a Sitecore architecture.
• Infrastructure Design:
  Background building or architecting high-availability (HA) setups to ensure maximum platform uptime.
