• Develop and integrate REST and GraphQL APIs for content authoring, management, preview, search, and delivery
• Build integrations between CMS platforms and search, digital asset management, identity, analytics, CDN, and enterprise systems
• Design for scalability, high availability, resiliency, and efficient content delivery in distributed environments
• Implement caching, indexing, asynchronous processing, and event-driven mechanisms for large-scale workloads
• Work with databases and data models supporting large content repositories
• Develop backend services and microservices using Spring Boot and related frameworks
• Deploy and operate CMS services using Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms
• Troubleshoot and resolve CMS, performance, scalability, and production issues, including JVM-level tuning
• Develop unit, integration, and API tests using JUnit and related frameworks; contribute to CI/CD automation
• Participate in technical design discussions and code reviews
• Leverage AI coding assistants and explore AI-powered capabilities for CMS use cases
• Collaborate with product managers, architects, frontend engineers, DevOps teams, and content stakeholders
