About The Role

We’re hiring a hands-on integration developer to connect Akeneo PIM with our customers’ broader commerce ecosystems—starting with ERP and E-Commerce and often extending to DAM, CPQ, CRM, and BI/Analytics. You’ll design and build robust data flows, APIs, and automations that power frictionless commerce across channels.

What You’ll Do

• Own integration design & build: Translate requirements into technical designs, sequence diagrams, data models, and mappings between Akeneo and target systems.
• Implement APIs & data pipelines: Build and maintain integrations using REST/GraphQL APIs, webhooks, queues, ETL/iPaaS, and batch jobs (CSV/JSON/XML/EDI).
• ERP ⇄ Akeneo: Product/article master, variants, pricing, inventory, packaging, and classification sync (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics).
• E-Commerce ⇄ Akeneo: Catalog, attributes/families, media/assets, categories, SEO fields, and publishing workflows (e.g., Adobe Commerce/Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, commercetools).
• Extended integrations:
• DAM (e.g., Bynder, Cloudinary, S3) for asset linking, renditions, and transformations.
• CPQ (e.g., Salesforce CPQ) for configurable products and rules.

• BI/Analytics (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Power BI, Tableau) for PIM quality metrics and operational dashboards.
• Akeneo expertise: Set up attribute groups, families, reference entities, asset families, locales/channels, completeness, rules, and permissions.
• Data quality & governance: Implement validation, deduplication, translation/localization flows, taxonomy/GS1 alignment, and error handling/reconciliation.
• Performance, scale, and resilience: Tune jobs, parallelize loads, manage retries/back-pressure, and monitor SLAs.
• DevEx & reliability: Unit/integration tests, CI/CD, secrets management, observability (logs/metrics/traces), and documentation/runbooks.
• Client collaboration: Participate in discovery, demos, technical workshops, UAT support, hypercare, and handover to Managed Services.
• Security & compliance: Apply least-privilege, OAuth2/JWT, PII handling, and auditability standards.
  

• Akeneo PIM (CE/EE), PHP/Symfony (bundles, events, console commands), Akeneo API & webhooks
• APIs & Messaging: REST/GraphQL, OAuth2/JWT, webhooks, RabbitMQ/Kafka, cron/schedulers
• ETL/iPaaS: One or more of Boomi, MuleSoft, Celigo, Workato, Tibco, Azure Data Factory, AWS Glue

• Strong PHP/Symfony skills (or proven ability to pick up Akeneo’s Symfony ecosystem quickly).
• Demonstrated experience integrating with ERP (SAP/Oracle/Dynamics) and E-Commerce (Magento/Adobe, Shopify, SFCC, BigCommerce, commercetools).
• Comfortable with data modeling for PIM: attributes, families, variants, reference entities, asset management, channels/locales, completeness.
• Solid understanding of product taxonomy, GS1 standards, localization/translation workflows, and SEO attributes.
• Hands-on with queues, idempotent job design, error handling, and reconciliation patterns.
• Knowledge of security best practices (OAuth2, JWT, secrets, network policies).
• Excellent communicator who can explain complex concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent experience.
  
  

• Akeneo certifications (Integrator, Developer).
• Experience with commercetools, SFCC, or Magento 2 module development.
• Experience with Snowflake/BigQuery and data contracts for analytics.
• Familiarity with translation management (e.g., Smartling, Transifex) and GenAI-assisted enrichment workflows.
