    Job Description

    The successful candidate will join our integration team to operate, maintain, and enhance SAP Cloud Integration (SAP CI) solutions that connect SAP S/4HANA with a diverse landscape of business applications. Working approximately 70% in operations and 30% in development, you will take day-to-day technical ownership of integration solutions after project handover, ensuring they run reliably in production while continuously improving them through smaller enhancements and change requests. You will work closely with platform teams, application owners, project teams, and business stakeholders to keep integrations healthy and evolving.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Take over approved SAP CI solutions after project handover and assume day-to-day technical ownership through their full lifecycle.
    • Monitor integration flows and message processing, analyse and resolve standard incidents, and diagnose issues across SAP CI and the connected source and target applications.
    • Fix defects, implement standard change requests and smaller enhancements, and deploy corrections through the established release and transport processes.
    • Develop and modify standard SAP CI integration flows, configure integrations using the required protocols and technologies, and create or adjust XML/JSON transformations and XPath expressions.
    • Manage solution-specific certificates, credentials, and configurations, ensuring integrations stay secure and compliant.
    • Contribute your SAP CI expertise within the existing incident-management process, handling standard cases independently and escalating complex ones to internal SAP CI seniors with a clear initial technical analysis.
    • Collaborate closely with source and target system teams during problem analysis, and communicate confidently with platform, application, project, and support teams.
    • Maintain technical and operational documentation, capturing troubleshooting findings, procedures, and solution-specific knowledge so the team's collective capability keeps growing.
    • Share SAP CI knowledge through documentation, pairing, and daily collaboration, helping colleagues build practical SAP CI skills through joint operational and development work.

    Required Qualifications

    • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field.
    • 2 to 4 years of hands-on SAP Cloud Integration experience
    • Proven SAP CI development experience, including building and modifying standard integration flows.
    • Experience supporting SAP CI integrations in production, including monitoring, incident analysis, and defect resolution.
    • Experience with SAP S/4HANA integrations.
    • Practical experience taking over and maintaining approved solutions after project handover.
    • Hands-on ability to configure integrations using the required protocols and technologies.
    • Skills in creating and adjusting XML/JSON transformations and XPath expressions.
    • Sound knowledge and skills of technologies e.g. Java, JSON, XML, REST/SOAP and integration solutions e.g. API, ETL, ESB
    • Experience managing certificates, credentials, and solution-specific configurations.
    • Experience managing releases and transports according to established processes.
    • Structured and methodical troubleshooting approach, with the ability to work independently on standard cases.
    • Confident written and verbal English communication skills, sufficient for calls, stakeholder discussions, and technical documentation.
    • Experience working within formal incident-management and change-management processes
    • Exposure to a broad range of SAP and non-SAP connected applications as source or target systems.
    • Experience contributing to process improvements and helping adapt established processes to SAP CI specifics.
    • SAP certifications relevant to Cloud Integration or Integration Suite not required, but an added advantage.
    • Excellent English communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain technical problems and their business impact in clear language.
    • Structured questioning skills to gather information effectively from business users and non-technical stakeholders.
    • Proactive communication about progress, risks, and blockers, including concise status updates covering impact, findings, next steps, and expected resolution.

    Show You Can Run Integrations Like a Pro

    This role is about owning SAP CI solutions in production, not just building them. Hiring managers will probe how you handle incidents, communicate with stakeholders, and keep documentation sharp.

    1. Prove your operational discipline: Highlight specific examples where you monitored integration flows, resolved incidents, and maintained SLAs. Mention any experience with formal incident and change management processes.

    2. Show your SAP CI depth: Be ready to discuss how you've built and modified integration flows, handled XML/JSON transformations, and used XPath. Bring a portfolio or detailed examples of your work.

    3. Communicate clearly: Since you'll explain technical issues to non-technical stakeholders, prepare a concise, jargon-free explanation of a past technical problem and its business impact.

    4. Emphasize collaboration: This role works with platform, application, and project teams. Share examples of how you've coordinated with others to solve cross-system issues.

    5. Understand the full lifecycle: From handover to ongoing enhancements, show you can take ownership and keep solutions healthy. Discuss how you've managed releases and transports.

    6. Keep documentation top of mind: Hiring managers value team knowledge sharing. Mention how you've documented troubleshooting steps or created guides for colleagues.

    7. Prepare for technical questions: Expect questions on SAP CI, S/4HANA integrations, and related technologies like Java, REST, and SOAP. Review your fundamentals.

    8. Show proactive communication: Talk about how you give status updates, flag risks early, and escalate issues with clear analysis. This is key for this role.
