About this job

At VML, a global creative company part of WPP that builds connected brands and drives growth through brand, customer experience, and commerce, the AEM Forms Expert role focuses on designing and delivering secure, accessible, and high-performing digital-form experiences. The Enterprise Solutions division handles major digital platforms and customer journeys for leading global brands. In this role, you will take ownership of adaptive forms, form data models, document generation, workflows, rules, and enterprise integrations. A normal day involves designing and building AEM adaptive forms, creating form data models and JSON schemas, implementing document-of-record workflows, developing Java and OSGi services, and integrating forms with external APIs and enterprise applications. You will collaborate closely with UX designers, business analysts, architecture teams, engineering, QA, and platform partners to ensure optimal usability, browser compatibility, security, and operational readiness.

Responsibilities

• Design and build AEM Adaptive Forms using reusable templates, fragments, components, themes, rules, validations, and localization patterns.
• Create and maintain Form Data Models, JSON schemas, data bindings, prefill, draft-save, resume, submission, and error-handling capabilities.
• Implement document-of-record, correspondence, document generation, output services, and downstream document-processing workflows.
• Integrate forms with enterprise applications, REST APIs, workflow platforms, content repositories, identity services, and communication channels.
• Develop Java and OSGi services and JavaScript extensions following secure, modular, and upgrade-safe practices.
• Implement form workflows, approval steps, status handling, asynchronous interactions, notifications, and operational tracking.
• Ensure accessibility, responsive behavior, browser compatibility, usability, performance, security, privacy, analytics, and operational readiness.
• Create automated tests, deployment packages, technical documentation, support runbooks, reusable standards, and troubleshooting guidance.

Requirements

• 6-10 years of application or digital-experience development, with strong hands-on AEM Forms experience.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, Business, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• Deep knowledge of Adaptive Forms, Form Data Models, data binding, rules, validations, themes, fragments, document-of-record, and output or document services.
• Working proficiency in Java, OSGi, JavaScript, JSON schemas, REST APIs, Maven, Git, and deployment pipelines.
• Experience integrating forms with enterprise applications, workflow systems, content platforms, communication services, identity providers, and external APIs.
• Knowledge of form security, data protection, accessibility and WCAG, performance optimization, localization, analytics, and production support.
• Ability to translate journey, data, and workflow requirements into reusable form architecture and collaborate across functional and technical teams.

Good to have

• Adobe AEM Forms certification or equivalent advanced training.
• Experience delivering high-volume enterprise forms, cloud deployments, reusable component libraries, and automated form testing.

Who should apply

This role is ideal for experienced digital-experience and application developers with substantial hands-on expertise in AEM Forms, Java, OSGi, and enterprise integrations. It suits professionals who excel at translating complex workflow and data requirements into secure, high-performing digital form architectures. Candidates must have 6-10 years of relevant experience, meaning this position is not suitable for freshers. If you have a background in building scalable enterprise forms and collaborating across cross-functional technical teams at companies like VML, you should apply.
