About the Project

A project for a global pharmaceutical company, focused on evolving a continuing medical education content library into an engagement platform for healthcare professionals beyond the reach of traditional field teams — personalized, orchestrated in real time, and providing professional recognition.

The CMS team is building the platform itself using Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), including micro-learning lessons, reference kits, clinical cases, patient materials, and search functionality across an approved content repository. The platform will feature mobile-first performance and integration with the personalization layer (AEP/Target).

Engagement duration: 2 years, with an expected start date in November 2026.

Position Mission

Define and maintain the platform architecture in AEM — including content models, delivery, integrations, security, and pipelines — ensuring that the client's medical content team can publish independently, healthcare professionals can load a page in less than 2 seconds on mobile devices, and every release passes security gates without unexpected issues.

This person will serve as the CMS squad's technical reference and work closely with the Martech Architect.

How success in this role is measured:

• Architecture approved through platform and security gates and remaining stable throughout the project phases.

• Core Web Vitals meeting mobile performance targets (LCP below 2.5 seconds) in production.

• DevSecOps pipeline with automated builds, testing, security analysis, and deployments; zero manual deployments.

• Content models that allow the client to create new lessons and materials without requiring development team intervention.

Responsibilities

• Define the AEM reference architecture (AEM as a Cloud Service or Edge Delivery Services, depending on the platform decision), including content models and fragments, templates, components, and headless or hybrid delivery.

• Design the delivery and caching strategy, including CDN, Dispatcher, cache invalidation, responsive images, and mobile-first performance.

• Configure and maintain DevSecOps pipelines (Cloud Manager or equivalent), including builds, testing, static code and dependency analysis, environment promotion, and rollback.

• Design platform integrations, including the personalization layer (AEP/Target/Web SDK), search engine (OpenSearch or equivalent), healthcare professional authentication, CRM, and third-party APIs.

• Define coding, code review, and testing standards for the squad (Java, Spring, OSGi/Sling, and front-end); lead architecture reviews and critical pull request reviews.

• Ensure security and compliance, including OWASP standards, secrets management, authoring permissions, and LGPD compliance across content and logs.

• Produce and maintain architecture documentation (diagrams, architectural decisions, and runbooks) and present it during project phase approval gates.

• Provide technical guidance to the squad's developers and collaborate with the client's Technology and Information Security teams.

Requirements

Must-have qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering, including at least 3 years in high-traffic web solution architecture.

• Proven experience with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), including content models, components, Dispatcher, Cloud Manager, or equivalent deployment pipelines.

• Strong Java skills, including Spring Boot, Jackson, and the common ecosystem of frameworks and libraries.

• Strong understanding of programming paradigms, SOLID principles, design patterns, and architectural patterns.

• Experience configuring DevSecOps pipelines (CI/CD, security analysis, and Infrastructure as Code).

• Experience configuring CDNs and caching strategies, with knowledge of distributed systems.

• Architecture documentation skills and the ability to communicate with the client's technical leadership.

• Native Portuguese and advanced English proficiency.

Nice-to-have qualifications

• Experience with OSGi, Apache Sling, Servlets, and Edge Delivery Services.

• Adobe certifications (AEM Sites Architect or Developer).

• Experience integrating AEM with AEP, Target, and Web SDK.

• Experience with search engines (OpenSearch/Elasticsearch) and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) over approved content.

• Experience in the pharmaceutical or healthcare industry, particularly with regulatory content approval workflows.
