## Description

The PIM Platform Software Engineer configures and builds on the Akeneo platform while supporting Informatica P360 during the migration window. You implement workflows, enrichment rules, attributes, taxonomy, and Akeneo extensions, and help build and troubleshoot the API integrations that connect Akeneo to upstream and downstream systems.

What You Will Do:

 * Configure and support Akeneo, including workflow implementation, attribute modeling, and taxonomy setup
 * Maintain and support Informatica P360 in parallel during the transition period
 * Build and maintain Akeneo extensions and custom capabilities using the Akeneo Extension SDK
 * Build and troubleshoot REST API integrations between Akeneo, upstream, and downstream systems
 * Support P360-to-Akeneo migration engineering: data mapping, validation, and cutover support
 * Resolve data defects and product data quality issues surfaced during enrichment or migration
 * Establish and follow reusable PIM engineering patterns so implementations stay consistent across domains
 * Participate in code/design review and follow CI/CD practices for releases
