Design and optimize the global data layer on GCP (Cloud SQL / PostgreSQL), orchestrating robust data model normalization, performance tuning, high availability, and secure multi-plant data migration strategies from old legacy schemas.
Oversee, design, and validate the end-to-end integration and synchronization flows connecting the Line Management platform with critical industrial core systems, including SAP and Dassault systems

Familiarity with enterprise-scale SPA architectures using Angular (17+) to guide state management and modular design decisions.
Deep knowledge of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) ecosystem, specifically GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine), Cloud SQL (PostgreSQL), Cloud Run, and IAM governance.
Hands-on experience implementing enterprise Event Brokers (Solace, Kafka, or similar) and API Management platforms (Apigee).
