Technical Leadership & Migration Execution (The "Techno" Aspect) ● Technical Architecture & Strategy: Lead the overall technical design and architecture for the end-to-end asset flow, specifically focusing on the migration strategy and execution from AEM Assets/JCR to Orange Logic. ● Core System Integration: Design and implement robust, secure two-way integration layers between Informatica P360 (PIM) and Orange Logic, as well as between Orange Logic and the remaining AEM Sites platform, utilizing APIs (REST/GraphQL) and specialized connectors. ● AEM Development & Decoupling: Provide hands-on guidance or development oversight for AEM solutions (6.x, AEM as a Cloud Service) required to support the transition, including component updates, template refactoring, and OSGi services to handle asset decoupling and reference switching. ● DAM Configuration: Lead the technical configuration of the Orange Logic platform, including asset ingestion workflows, transformation presets (renditions), version control logic, and user permission models. ● Performance & DevOps: Define and enforce technical standards, ensure platform stability, security compliance (WCAG), and optimize performance for asset delivery, leveraging knowledge of caching, CDN, and CI/CD pipelines (Maven, Git).
