You will collaborate with product and stakeholder teams to understand member and business needs, contribute to product vision, and deliver end-to-end solutions. This hands-on role includes architecting, designing, coding, testing, and supporting member-facing applications and systems in a cloud-based environment. Technologies may include Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), modern JavaScript frameworks such as Angular, and Java and Node.js microservices.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, test, deploy, and support scalable web applications, cloud solutions, CMS capabilities, and integration services.
