- Develop content migration tooling, scripts and automated transformation processes.

- Implement Contentful content models, API integrations and content delivery patterns.

- Ensure migrated applications maintain functionality, performance, accessibility and quality.

AI-Native Engineering

- Adopt an AI-first mindset, proactively identifying opportunities to accelerate development, migration and problem-solving using AI.

- Apply spec-driven development, using clear technical specifications, acceptance criteria and tests to guide AI-assisted implementation.

- Leverage AI to support Sitecore analysis, schema mapping, migration script generation, application refactoring and validation.

- Use AI coding assistants effectively while reviewing, testing and taking accountability for generated outputs.

- Share AI-enabled development practices and contribute to improving team productivity.

Engineering Quality and Collaboration
