Site Core Architect

Job Description

• Define and manage performance SLOs (Service Level Objectives), and publish scorecards aligned to Core Web Vitals and key business KPIs.
• Build and own a performance improvement roadmap and backlog, including detailed fixes, architectural changes, telemetry needs, and regression guardrails.
• Partner with the Turbo leadership pod to prioritize backlog work and align with platform roadmap execution.
• Translate digital OKRs into measurable performance thresholds (e.g., page load time, JS/CSS payload size, cache hit ratio, render time).
• Design and optimize caching rules, HTTP headers, media optimization (IVM), compression protocols (Brotli, Gzip), and redirect handling.
• Implement and maintain Akamai EdgeWorkers to support high-performance personalization at the edge.
• Define and enforce architectural performance standards for the AEM SaaS rollout to prevent reintroduction of legacy inefficiencies.
• Tune CMS-delivered headers (e.g., caching, vary, CORS) to reduce render latency and support edge delivery.

• Audit and refactor JavaScript bundles via tree-shaking, code-splitting, async/defer, and dependency reduction.
• Improve render performance with critical-path CSS extraction, lazy loading, responsive image formats, and priority hints.

Required Skills & Experience

• Hands-on web performance engineering across large-scale, public-facing platforms
• Deep knowledge of Akamai (EdgeWorkers, Property Manager, mPulse, caching policies)
• Experience with legacy CMS tuning (Sitecore) and contributing to SaaS CMS implementation (AEM SaaS preferred)
• Strong frontend engineering background with expertise in JS performance, bundle analysis, and browser lifecycle
• Fluent in modern build and observability tooling: Webpack, Vite, Lighthouse, SpeedCurve, DevTools, WebPageTest, RUM platforms
• Familiarity with debugging cookie issues, redirect chains, 3xx/4xx/5xx spikes, and cross-origin resource challenges
• Able to lead and influence cross-functional stakeholders with a data-driven, solution-oriented approach
