Manage and configure the SAP PI/PO runtime components and landscapes.

Development & Configuration (CPI):

Develop and configure iFlows (integration flows) using Groovy scripting and Java Mapping where necessary.

Configure CPI adapters, particularly for cloud-to-cloud integration (e.g., OData, SOAP, SuccessFactors, Ariba).

Manage key components such as keystores, security artifacts, and access policies within the SAP Integration Suite.

Monitoring and Support: Provide expert-level support, monitoring, and troubleshooting for all deployed integration interfaces across both PI/PO and CPI environments to ensure high availability and performance.

Governance and Documentation: Create and maintain detailed technical specifications, interface documentation, and operational procedures for all integration solutions.

Performance Optimization: Proactively analyze integration performance, tuning message processing, and optimizing resource utilization within the middleware platforms.

Upgrades and Migration: Participate in and lead efforts to upgrade PI/PO systems and migrate existing integration scenarios from PI/PO to CPI/Integration Suite.

Required Qualifications

Experience: Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in SAP middleware, with at least 2 years focusing specifically on SAP CPI/Integration Suite.

Deep expertise in SAP PI/PO architecture, administration, and development (versions 7.3 and higher, including single-stack PO).

Strong knowledge of SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI) development, including security concepts, monitoring, and various integration patterns.

Proficient in XML, XSD, WSDL, SOAP, and REST web services.

Hands-on experience with message-level security standards (e.g., SSL/TLS, OAuth, SAML).

Experience with scripting languages, particularly Groovy and Java, for complex mapping and custom adapter development.

Integration Knowledge: Solid understanding of core SAP modules (e.g., ECC, S/4HANA, MM, SD, FI) and their standard integration mechanisms (IDoc, BAPI, RFC).

Soft Skills: Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities, strong communication skills (written and verbal), and a proven ability to manage multiple integration projects simultaneously.
