At ESO, we believe in the power of science to expand the frontiers of human knowledge. Our digital platforms are key to sharing this mission with the world - and we're looking for a skilled and proactive AEM Developer to help build, operate, and evolve the technical foundations of ESO's online presence.

In this role, you will contribute to the development of ESO's web platforms as Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is introduced as the future core Content Management System. As part of ESO's Digital Communications team, you will help shape the technical implementation of a modern CMS landscape that supports ESO's public-facing communication platforms and enables teams across the organisation to publish content efficiently and reliably. You will develop and maintain AEM components and templates, work across frontend and backend systems, and contribute to building a robust, scalable, and user-friendly web platform.

During the transition phase, ESO's existing Django/Python-based CMS will continue to run in parallel. Your responsibilities related to the legacy system will focus on keeping it operational through maintenance and essential minor updates. In parallel, you will support the technical aspects of migrating existing content into AEM, ensuring that content structures, templates, and components enable an efficient and reliable transition, while primary development efforts remain centred on the new AEM-based platform.

Working closely with the Head of Digital Communications, the IT Department, and external providers, you will play an active role in shaping technical decisions related to AEM and the web frontend and help continuously improve ESO's digital platforms.
