This strategic role combines technical leadership, people management, and delivery excellence across a portfolio of enterprise-grade digital transformation projects leveraging Sitecore, Optimizely, Contentstack, and related AI-driven personalization and automation platforms.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on technology leader with a strong background in architecture, engineering best practices, delivery governance, and productivity improvement, capable of scaling teams and ensuring consistent, high-quality outcomes for global clients.Required Skills & Experience

• 15+ years of overall experience in software engineering, with 5+ years in leadership or director-level roles.
• Proven experience with DXP platforms: Sitecore (XM Cloud, XP, CDP, Personalize), Optimizely SaaS/PaaS CMS, Contentstack, or similar headless platforms.
• Deep understanding of modern web architecture — Next.js, React, APIs, microservices, and composable DXPs.
• Strong exposure to AI applications in productivity, personalization, and automation domains.
• Expertise in cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP, Vercel) and DevOps CI/CD automation.
• Excellent grasp of engineering processes, SDLC governance, documentation, and code quality frameworks.
• Exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and leadership skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, global delivery environment with distributed teams.

Key Responsibilities1. Technical Leadership & Architecture

• Define and enforce engineering standards, reusable frameworks, and best practices across the DXP ecosystem.
• Guide solution and technical architects across Sitecore (XM Cloud, CDP, Personalize, Content Hub), Optimizely SaaS CMS/Commerce, and Contentstack.
• Review solution designs, ensure scalability, security, and compliance alignment across client implementations.
• Lead innovation initiatives leveraging AI copilots, generative AI tools, and composable architecture principles.

2. Delivery & Process Excellence

• Own delivery governance for offshore DXP engagements — ensuring on-time, high-quality, and within-budget delivery.
• Drive engineering productivity by introducing AI-led development accelerators, automated QA, and code governance tools.
• Establish and monitor KPIs, SLAs, and delivery dashboards for performance measurement.
• Standardize engineering documentation practices including architecture blueprints, design docs, and runbooks.
• Collaborate with PMO to align delivery models (Agile PODs, distributed teams, fixed bid, T&M) with client expectations.

3. People Leadership & Talent Development

• Lead, mentor, and grow a multi-disciplinary engineering team of architects, leads, and developers across multiple DXP platforms.
• Build a strong engineering culture rooted in innovation, ownership, and continuous learning.
• Foster collaboration between cross-functional teams — strategy, design, architecture, and QA.

4. Practice & Capability Growth

• Collaborate with global DXP leadership to define technical roadmaps and expand capabilities in emerging DXP technologies.
• Champion productivity improvement through process re-engineering and automation.
• Contribute to pre-sales, RFP responses, and client solutioning with detailed technical inputs.
• Represent the DXP practice in internal and external forums to showcase engineering excellence.

Preferred Qualifications

• Sitecore, Optimizely, or Contentstack certifications.
• Experience leading multi-tenant SaaS or large-scale composable architecture implementations.
• Exposure to AI engineering, MCP (Model Composition Platform), or automation frameworks for delivery optimization.
• Experience with North America and EMEA client delivery models.About the RoleWe are looking for a Director of Engineering to lead our offshore delivery center for the Digital Experience Platform (DXP) practice.
