About The Role
We are seeking a dedicated Software Engineer to join our Supplier Data Management (SDM) team, which owns the core functionality of the Akeneo Product Cloud related to supplier data ingestion, cleaning, classification, and distribution. The SDM team plays a critical role in automating and streamlining the onboarding of supplier data, which often arrives in various formats such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and images. Your primary responsibility will be to develop, enhance, and maintain features that transform complex, high-volume, and industry-specific supplier data into trusted product catalog information.
