Description:Senior Software Engineer Sitecore XM Cloud Migration
Role Overview
We are seeking a strong, motivated Senior Software Engineer to lead the evolution of our digital platforms. In this role, you will champion the development, implementation, and maintenance of innovative, content-management-based software solutions. Your immediate focus will be driving a critical architectural shift: evaluating our current on-premises Sitecore XM custom setup, mapping out a migration strategy, and building an end-to-end Proof of Concept (PoC) in Sitecore XM Cloud.

Core Responsibilities

• Migration Strategy & Scoping: Identify migration scope and build a detailed list of tasks required to port custom, on-premises XM implementations to XM Cloud.
• PoC Execution: Develop, deploy, test, and verify an end-to-end PoC that validates the new XM Cloud architecture.
• Technical Documentation: Author comprehensive migration blueprints, including detailed architecture and design diagrams.
• Collaborative Development: Work actively within an agile team to build and maintain high-performance CMS solutions.

Required Experience & Skills

• Sitecore Expertise: Deep, hands-on experience implementing Sitecore XM Cloud or leading migrations from on-premises XP/XM headless solutions to XM Cloud.
• Proven ability to audit legacy custom CMS codebases and translate them into modern, cloud-native technical tasks.
• Backend Development: Strong proficiency in C# and .NET architectures for handling legacy custom logic and integration endpoints.
• Frontend Architecture: Modern web development mastery using Next.js and TypeScript within a decoupled, headless framework.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hosting & Rendering: Experience utilizing Vercel or managing on-premises Node.js servers for headless hosting within a Sitecore architecture.
• Infrastructure Design: Background building or architecting high-availability (HA) setups to ensure maximum platform uptime.

We are looking for candidates with hands-on experience in either working on XM cloud project currently or migrating on-premise XP/XM solution to XM cloud
