Junior Adobe Experience Manager Developer

📍 Mysore 🏷️ Software Development 💰 ₹40,000 / month

Mysore's Hebbal Industrial Area has a Junior Adobe Experience Manager Developer opening at a full-time, on-site company building and maintaining content-driven web platforms for enterprise clients. No prior professional experience is required, though the team wants to see genuine hands-on exposure to AEM from coursework, a personal project, or a prior internship.

The job centers on writing and maintaining application code within the AEM ecosystem, working closely with cross-functional teams as new features get scoped and built, and fixing bugs that testing surfaces before anything reaches a client-facing environment. AEM development has a learning curve that's steeper than most junior developers expect going in, since the platform mixes Java development with content management concepts that don't always map cleanly onto a typical web development background.

What you'll be doing

  • Write and maintain application code for AEM-based content platforms
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams on new feature development
  • Fix bugs identified during QA testing before release
  • Support content authors with component-level issues as they arise

Required skills are Adobe Experience Manager itself, Java, general content management concepts, and HTL or Sightly for templating. A candidate who's comfortable with core Java but has never touched AEM specifically can still be a strong fit, as long as they can demonstrate they've picked up unfamiliar frameworks quickly before.

A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with proficiency in the tools this role uses and, ideally, some hands-on exposure to AEM already. The hiring manager has said that a candidate who built even a small personal AEM project, however rough, interviews noticeably better than one who's only read documentation.

Good to have

  • Familiarity with Sling models and OSGi component development
  • Basic front-end skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for component styling
  • Any exposure to digital asset management workflows

Hebbal Industrial Area sits on the edge of Mysore's expanding tech corridor, further from the city center than some of the newer IT parks but well served by dedicated commute options the company runs for staff. The team here supports a handful of enterprise clients across retail and financial services, both of which lean heavily on AEM for their public-facing content platforms.

Naukri Mitra has listed a few software development roles from this employer, and junior developers who joined in the past two years describe the onboarding as intentionally slow for the first month, specifically because AEM's learning curve punishes rushing. Nobody is expected to ship independently in week one, and the team treats that expectation as a feature, not a gap in the process.

Interviews include a technical round on core Java fundamentals, since AEM proficiency itself is treated as trainable if the Java foundation is solid, followed by a conversation about a project from your background. Candidates who overstate their AEM experience tend to get caught quickly in the technical round, so honesty about what you do and don't know tends to serve candidates better here than bluffing.

Growth for junior developers on this team typically moves toward an associate title within a year to eighteen months, at which point ownership of a full client component library becomes realistic. Two associate developers currently on the team started in this exact junior role within the last two years.

Career progression from this seat tends to follow a fairly clear path: strong performers in a Junior Adobe Experience Manager Developer role typically move up one level within eighteen months to two years, taking on broader ownership of Adobe Experience Manager work rather than a fixed set of tickets. The team has said this progression isn't automatic and depends on genuinely stepping up during that window, not just accumulating tenure.

Benefits

  • Health insurance for the employee
  • Paid time off
  • Provident fund contributions
  • Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Mysore

This role is based at Hebbal Industrial Area, Mysore, pin code 570016, five days a week on site. Pay is up to ₹40,000 a month. The team hopes to bring someone on within the next four to five weeks.
