Resume & Profile Screening Criteria (Before Initial Contact) 

Recruiters should only reach out to candidates who clearly demonstrate the following in their resume or LinkedIn profile: 

Must-Have Skills & Experience: 

5+ years of SFCC experience, including SFRA and at least some mention of PWAkit (which is a newer technology so 5 years is not expected).

CI/CD pipeline implementation and management. 

Automation tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines).

Experience mentoring developers or leading technical teams. 

Evidence of being a go-to escalation point or architect-level contributor. 

Strong communication: 

Experience interfacing with stakeholders or clients. 

Clear articulation of technical decisions in past roles.
