SAP CPI Architect (St Louis)
SAP Integration Architect Full-time | Remote USC or Green Card Holder ONLY NO C2C
Summary
Our client, a market-leading provider of engineered connection solutions, is seeking a hands-on SAP Integration Architect to design, build, and operate integrations on SAP Integration Suite and CPI. About three quarters of the role is true implementation work - creating iFlows, implementing modern EDI, and hardening security and monitoring. The balance involves coordinating delivery with external vendors and partnering with internal stakeholders to align scope, standards, and timelines. This role requires a strong communicator and technical leader who thrives on collaboration and clarity. The ideal candidate is not a people manager, but a leader of activities and discussions - someone who can drive technical design sessions, confidently make recommendations and changes, and effectively bridge communication between business, functional, and technical teams. You will help shape integration architecture decisions, influence standards, and ensure delivery aligns with both IT strategy and business outcomes.
Responsibilities
Design, develop, and maintain CPI iFlows connecting SAP and non-SAP applications across cloud and on-prem environments. Deliver B2B and EDI integrations end to end, including mapping, trading partner setup, error handling, monitoring, and run-book documentation. Lead technical discussions with developers, architects, and functional teams to ensure consistent understanding of design and delivery expectations. Act as the communication bridge between business, functional, and technical teams, translating business needs into actionable integration solutions. Participate in solution design sessions, guiding decision-making around integration architecture, data flows, and interface security. Confidently propose, validate, and implement technical changes in CPI and related platforms. Build secure, resilient interfaces using OData, REST, SOAP, IDoc, SFTP, and HTTP with proper credential, certificate, and key management. Apply Groovy scripting for message transformations, custom adapters, dynamic routing, and exception handling. Define integration architecture, patterns, and coding standards; establish CI/CD, quality gates, and observability for interfaces. Troubleshoot and tune integrations in production, perform root-cause analysis, and close the loop with corrective actions. Collaborate with product owners, functional leads, and external vendors to translate requirements into technical designs and delivery plans. Create and maintain technical specifications, sequence diagrams, iFlow inventories, and support documentation. Champion security and compliance across integrations and support audits with evidence and traceability. Work with internal and external stakeholders to enhance EDI connectivity, ensuring reliability, scalability, and compliance with partner and industry standards.
Qualifications
Ten or more years in enterprise integrations with at least four to five years of recent, hands-on work in SAP Integration Suite and CPI delivering iFlows at scale. Proven delivery of EDI transactions such as 850, 855, 856, 860, and 810 on CPI, including mapping, validation, retries, and alerts; experience with EDIFACT and X12. Strong Groovy scripting skills applied within CPI for mappings, lookups, and custom logic. Experience leading integration workshops and technical discussions with cross-functional teams. Ability to confidently make and communicate technical decisions, including proposing alternative solutions when challenges arise. SuccessFactors integration experience across EC, ECP, and related HR processes; familiarity with other SAP SaaS products is helpful. Proficiency with IDoc processing and troubleshooting, SAP API Management, XML and XSLT, and core protocols including REST, SOAP, OData, SFTP, and HTTP. Working knowledge of security artifacts, keystores, certificates, SSH keys, and payload encryption and decryption. Experience integrating with S/4HANA; comfort working in landscapes that include Ariba, DMC, or other manufacturing-centric systems. Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Clear communicator who can engage engineers and executives, influence standards, and present tradeoffs and delivery plans. Preferred Experience CPI certification or prior work in PI/PO, Dell Boomi, MuleSoft, or similar iPaaS. Manufacturing industry exposure with B2B and EDI at scale. Monitoring and observability using SAP tools and complementary platforms, plus basic CI/CD for transport and version control.
