The work

We are prioritizing "hybrid" resources who possess a rare combination of skills: deep functional understanding of the external agency trading partner systems in-scope, combined with the technical capability to perform the hands-on design, mapping, and building of the interfaces. You will not just write specifications; you will actively drive the engineering lifecycle to connect the agency’s solution to the broader defense ecosystem.
Key responsibilities
- Conduct detailed analysis of legacy interfaces, data formats, and protocols. Design end-to-end integration flows between SAP S/4HANA and external agency trading partners

- Partner directly with external trading to align on interface control documents (ICDs), schemas, and testing schedules
- Translate complex business processes (finance, supply chain, asset management) into technical data requirements to ensure transactional integrity across system boundaries
- Lead unit testing, system integration testing (SIT), and partner end-to-end testing
- Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve complex interface errors and data mismatches

Here’s what you need

- Strong functional understanding of business processes and the external systems that feed into it (e.g., supply, financial, or logistics systems)
- Hands-on experience developing interfaces with SAP integration middleware (SAP PO, CPI/Integration Suite, EDI, ALE/IDocs, BAPIs, and Web Services)
