• Evaluate and implement suitable technologies and solutions, particularly AEM OSGi, Flowable, and standard AEM capabilities.
• Develop core services for form processing, submissions, queue management, auditing, data prefilling, and PDF generation.
• Design and implement integrations with CRM, Kafka, ECM, and other enterprise systems.
• Build and enhance monitoring solutions, health checks, and technical dashboards.
• Ensure the platform remains scalable, performant, secure, and maintainable.
• Migrate existing forms and workflows to the modernized platform.
• Develop and automate build and deployment pipelines using Jenkins and CI/CD practices.
• Create and execute automated unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
• Ensure stable parallel operations throughout the migration process and support the final go-live.
• Gradually phase out the legacy JEE infrastructure while maintaining business continuity.
• Produce technical documentation and facilitate knowledge transfer.
• Maintain the existing Adobe AEM Forms environment, investigating incidents and resolving technical issues.
• Manage failed form submissions and ensure their successful reprocessing.
• Conduct regular system, security, and quality assessments.
• Identify and address vulnerabilities using SonarQube, Qualys, and other security tools.
• Install and validate Adobe hotfixes and service packs.
• Coordinate operating system and infrastructure upgrades across Windows and Linux servers.
• Perform performance optimization, troubleshooting, and continuous improvements to system stability.
