Software Architect CMS (Adobe Experience Manager), Brazil
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 12, 2026. First seen by Alion on Nov 11, 2026. CI&T scores A on the Alion truth index.
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.
