We are looking for a Senior DITA Developer who lives and breathes structured content. You will design, build and maintain DITA-based documentation solutions for global enterprise clients — with Adobe Experience Manager Guides (AEM Guides) as our preferred CCMS platform.
This is a hands-on, client-facing delivery role. You will work directly with client teams, information architects and technical writers to move content from unstructured formats into clean, reusable DITA — and to publish it beautifully across channels. You will also help shape Taazaa's structured-content capability from the inside.
Working at Taazaa involves engaging with cutting-edge technology and innovative software solutions in a collaborative environment. We emphasize on continuous professional growth, offering workshops and training. Our employees often interact with clients to tailor solutions to business needs, working on diverse projects across industries.
We promote work-life balance with flexible hours and remote options, fostering a supportive and inclusive culture. Competitive salaries, health benefits, and various perks further enhance the work experience.
Looking ahead, we aim to expand our technological capabilities and market reach, investing in advanced technologies and expanding our service offerings. We plan to deepen our expertise in AI and machine learning, enhance our cloud services, and continue fostering a culture of innovation and excellence. Taazaa is committed to staying at the forefront of technology trends, ensuring it delivers impactful and transformative solutions for its clients
What you’ll do:
DITA Development & Information Architecture
- - Design and build DITA content models — topics (concept, task, reference, troubleshooting), maps, bookmaps and metadata strategies aligned to client needs.
- Implement robust reuse strategies using conref, conkeyref, keys/keyrefs and content references, keeping duplication low and consistency high.
- Set up conditional publishing with DITAVAL filtering and profiling attributes for multi-audience, multi-product documentation.
- Create and maintain DITA specializations and constraints (DTD/RNG) where client content demands it.
AEM Guides & CCMS Work
- - Author, manage and publish DITA content in Adobe Experience Manager Guides (XML Documentation for AEM).
- Configure output presets, baselines,
review workflows and translation workflows within AEM Guides.
- Support CCMS administration tasks — folder structures, user roles, versioning and release management.
- Advise clients on best practices for authoring, reuse and governance inside AEM Guides.
Publishing & Automation
- - Build and customize DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) plugins for PDF, HTML5 and other output formats.
- Develop and maintain XSLT (2.0/3.0) transformations and PDF customizations (XSL-FO based).
- Automate publishing pipelines using Git-based workflows and CI/CD where applicable.
Migration & Client Delivery
- - Lead content migrations from unstructured sources (Word, FrameMaker, InDesign, HTML) into DITA — including analysis, mapping, conversion and QA.
- Work directly with client stakeholders: gather requirements, present solutions, run authoring workshops and hand over cleanly.
- Estimate effort, flag risks early and communicate progress clearly — you own your workstream end to end.
- Mentor junior team members and contribute to Taazaa's internal DITA standards and playbooks.
What You Bring Must-Have Skills
- - 5–6 years of hands-on DITA development experience in enterprise documentation environments.
- Deep knowledge of the DITA 1.3 standard — topic types, maps, keys, conref/conkeyref, DITAVAL, subject scheme and metadata.
- Strong DITA-OT experience — running, configuring and customizing transforms and plugins.
- Solid XSLT (2.0/3.0), XPath and XML Schema/DTD skills.
- Expert-level use of Oxygen XML Editor/Author, including framework customization.
- Proven experience migrating unstructured content into DITA at scale.
- Working experience with at least one enterprise CCMS.
- Clear written and spoken English — this is a client-facing role with US-based stakeholders.
Highly Desirable
- - Exposure to AEM Sites/Assets and how Guides fits into the broader AEM ecosystem.
- Experience with localization workflows (XLIFF, translation management).
- Scripting skills (Python, JavaScript or shell)
for content processing and automation.
Nice to Have
- - Experience with other CCMS platforms (IXIASOFT, Heretto, Tridion Docs, Paligo).
- Familiarity with docs-as-code approaches, Markdown/Lightweight DITA (LwDITA).
- Prior consulting or professional-services experience.
- Certification in DITA, AEM or a related Adobe technology.
Behavioural: Here are five essential behavioural skills a Technical Lead should possess:
- - Effective Communication: Clearly and concisely convey ideas, requirements, and feedback to team members, stakeholders, and clients, fostering an environment of open dialogue and mutual understanding.
- Leadership and Mentorship: Inspire and guide the development team, providing support and encouragement, while promoting a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
- Problem-Solving Attitude: Approach challenges with a proactive mindset, quickly identifying issues and developing innovative solutions to overcome obstacles.
- Collaboration and Teamwork: Work well within a team, encouraging collaboration and valuing diverse perspectives to achieve common goals and deliver high-quality results.
