This is a remote position.
Our client a global healthcare company is looking for an Integration Lead who will design build and operate end-to-end integrations on SAP Integration Suite (CPI/Cloud Integration) to connect SAP S/4HANA with SAP and non-SAP systems across a regulated healthcare landscape. The role spans solution design iFlow development security & compliance deployment monitoring and continuous improvement working closely with functional (S/4 Ariba HR) security/compliance and business stakeholders. (Aligned with standard CPI lead responsibilities and scope.)
This is a 6-month contractual position with likelihood of extension. Candidates must be able to support the clients preferred EST and/or CET time zone.
Responsibilities
- Integration Solutions & Design: Translate business/interface requirements into scalable secure iFlow designs using SAP Cloud Integration (mappings transformations routing error handling).
- iFlow Development & Connectivity: Build and maintain integrations for S/4HANA and adjacent platforms (e.g. Ariba SuccessFactors external APIs/partner systems) using adapters such as HTTPS/REST/SOAP SFTP IDoc OData; implement content modifiers exception subprocesses and message mappings (XML/XSLT/JSON).
- Operations & Monitoring: Own CPI monitoring alerting and defect triage; perform root-cause analysis implement resiliency patterns (retries DLQs) and optimize performance.
- Security & Compliance: Enforce secure integrations (OAuth2 Basic Auth client certificates Cloud Connector) align with GxP/21 CFR Part 11 data integrity and privacy requirements (audit trails segregation of duties).
