The Senior AEM DevSecOps Engineer

As a SeniorAEM DevSecOps Engineer, you will oversee and automate our AEM infrastructure with a primary focus on security, reliability, and automated compliance. You will bridge the gap between development and operations by embedding security directly into the CI/CD pipeline and managing complex identity and content delivery architectures. Your role is pivotal in ensuring that our platform is not only high-performing but resilient against modern threats like DDoS attacks.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Identity & Access Management: Configure and manage AEM Cloud.
• Edge & CDN Protection: Manage and configure CDN (e.g., Cloudflare, or Adobe-managed CDN) to optimize performance and implement DDoS mitigation strategies.
• Traffic Filtering: Implement and maintain Traffic Filter Rules and Web Application Firewall (WAF) configurations at the CDN level to block malicious spikes and sophisticated application-layer attacks.
• Automated Security Scanning: Integrate security tools (SAST/DAST) and secrets detection into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab) to identify vulnerabilities early in the development cycle.
• Environment Hardening: Install and manage AEM author, publish, and dispatcher instances with a focus on Dispatcher security hardening, SSL certificate automation, and ModSecurity configurations.
• Observability & Incident Response: Monitor system performance and security logs using tools like Splunk to proactively address threats and performance bottlenecks.
• Compliance Auditing: Regularly audit the platform and its integrations
