Experience: 5+ years
Function: Product Information Management (PIM) / Master Data Management (MDM)
Role Summary
We are looking for a Stibo STEP MDM Engineer to design, build, and support product data solutions on the STIBO STEP platform. The role combines hands-on STEP configuration with Java and Spring Boot development to integrate PIM with upstream and downstream systems, keeping product data accurate, consistent, and available across channels.
Key Responsibilities
Configure and maintain STEP components: data model (attributes, classifications, reference types), workflows, business rules, validations, and import/export setups.
Develop and maintain integrations between STEP and external systems using Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, and event/messaging platforms (e.g., Kafka).
Build custom STEP extensions using Java and the STEP SDK, including business actions, conditions, and web UI extensions.
Develop and enhance Spring Boot microservices that consume, transform, or publish product data.
Manage product data feeds, including inbound ingestion (suppliers, vendors, internal systems) and outbound distribution (e-commerce, search, store systems).
Monitor and troubleshoot data load, sync, and performance issues; perform root cause analysis and drive fixes for production incidents.
Optimize STEP performance, including bulk loads, queries, and background processes.
Support release activities, including deployment, configuration migration across environments, and post-release validation.
Collaborate with product owners, data stewards, architects, and QA to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
Write unit and integration tests, participate in code reviews, and maintain technical documentation.
Follow data governance, quality, and change management standards.
Skill Requirements
5+ years of overall software engineering experience, with 2–3+ years on STIBO STEP (PIM/MDM).
Strong proficiency in Java (Java 11/17/21) and Spring Boot (REST services, Spring Data, configuration, exception handling).
Hands-on experience with STEP configuration: data modeling, workflows, business rules, IIEP/import-export, and GDSN or channel integrations (as applicable).
Experience with STEP SDK/JavaScript business rules and Java-based extensions.
Solid understanding of REST/SOAP APIs, JSON, XML, and data transformation techniques.
Good knowledge of SQL and relational databases.
Familiarity with Git, Maven/Gradle, and CI/CD pipelines.
Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
