Orange Business is a network and digital integrator that understands the entire value chain of the digital world, freeing our customers to focus on the strategic initiatives that shape their business. Every day, you will collaborate with a team dedicated to providing consistent, sustainable global solutions, no matter where our customers operate. With over 30,000 employees across Asia, the Americas, Africa, and Europe, we offer a dynamic environment to develop and perfect your skills in a field filled with exciting challenges and opportunities.

We are seeking a skilled and experienced Principal Engineer – CPQ Transformation to join the Digital unit at Orange Business. As the Principal Engineer – CPQ Transformation, you will drive the architectural design and end-to-end technical delivery of scalable, high-performance CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) solutions using .NET and/or Java technologies. Your mission is to lead the modernization and integration of CPQ capabilities within the enterprise ecosystem, ensuring alignment with business goals, technology standards, and future scalability. You will guide development teams, define robust technical solutions, and leverage modern architectural patterns—including microservices, API-led integration, and cloud-native design—while ensuring performance, security, and maintainability.

You will play a pivotal role in transforming legacy CPQ environments into intelligent, modular platforms by incorporating industry standards (e.g., TMF, SID) and emerging technologies like Agentic AI and Generative AI for intelligent configuration, pricing optimization, and automated solutioning. Your leadership will ensure high-quality technical delivery, seamless stakeholder collaboration, and continuous innovation across the CPQ transformation journey

Activities and Responsibilities

• Lead the technical architecture, design, and implementation of CPQ transformation initiatives using .NET and/or Java-based technology stacks.
