You will establish reusable integration patterns and architectures that enable secure, scalable, and standardized connectivity, reduce technical debt, and support event-driven architectures. This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys combining technical leadership with hands-on engineering, driving standardization, developing talent, and improving operational excellence through effective KPIs, metrics, and dashboards.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end delivery of enterprise integration initiatives from discovery through operations, ensuring successful implementation and support.
• Design and implement scalable integrations using SAP Integration Suite, API Management, and BTP capabilities.
• Define and enforce integration strategies by selecting appropriate patterns (API, event-driven, batch, IDoc) based on business needs.
• Establish and maintain reusable integration assets, templates, and standards to drive efficiency and consistency.
• Develop and evolve enterprise integration architecture and reference patterns across SAP and non-SAP landscapes.
• Build, mentor, and manage a high-performing integration development team, fostering strong engineering and Agile practices.
• Define and govern API standards, lifecycle management, and enable event-driven integration approaches for scalability.
• Drive operational excellence through defined KPIs, monitoring, alerting, and continuous improvement of integration reliability.
• Ensure robust security, compliance, and risk management practices across all integration solutions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align integration strategies with business goals, improve scalability, and reduce technical debt.

Qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience with SAP Integration Suite and SAP API Management, including modern integration patterns and governance.
• Demonstrated experience in designing secure, scalable, and resilient integration architectures in hybrid landscapes (SAP + non-SAP).
• Solid understanding of integration operations, including monitoring, troubleshooting, error handling, and production support models.
• Familiarity with Clean Core-aligned integration and extension approaches.
• Experience in people leadership, managing and mentoring developers (or strong lead experience with clear ownership of team delivery).
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate business needs into practical technical solutions and drive alignment across teams.
• We see AI as an important part of how work gets done. While tools may vary, a baseline familiarity with using AI to support efficiency, problem-solving, and quality is expected.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or an equivalent field.
• Experience in enabling event-driven architectures, including pub/sub patterns, event governance, and contract/schema evolution.
• Experience in integrating SAP solutions (e.g., S/4HANA/ECC and SAP cloud applications) with common enterprise non-SAP platforms.
• Background in defining integration platform operating models, including governance, standards, reusable components, and intake processes.
• Experience in establishing reliability practices for integration platforms, such as SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, runbooks, and automated health checks.
