Senior SAP Technical Architect, Integration and Data

"We are looking for a hybrid profile of high technical and strategic level. We are not looking for a pure integration programmer nor a basic maintenance Basis administrator. The ideal candidate is an Infrastructure, Integration, and Data Architect who understands the internal behavior of SAP servers, masters how business jobs are automated at scale (Control-M), how massive data flows (BODS), and how that ecosystem is exposed in a modern and real-time manner to the outside world."

• Senior Experience: Minimum of 8-10 years in advanced administration of SAP systems (NetWeaver, S/4HANA Retail, ECC, SAP SLT, SAP Data Services, SAP HANA databases, and traditional DBs).

• Knowledge of the SAP Roadmap: Mastery of the official roadmap (S/4HANA, SAP BTP adoption, Clean Core strategies, and Cloud/Hybrid deployment models).

• Lifecycle and Obsolescence Management: Demonstrated ability to audit complex infrastructures, identify obsolete components, and design technological risk mitigation plans.

• ABAP Analysis: Knowledge of infrastructure-oriented ABAP programming (code performance analysis, advanced debugging, and optimization of bottlenecks in Z processes).

• Control-M Specialist: Solid and specific experience in the integration, monitoring, automation, and workload management of SAP processes using the BMC Control-M tool.

• SAP BODS (Data Services): Advanced experience in the design, administration, optimization, and maintenance of SAP BusinessObjects Data Services for complex ETL processes, migration, and data quality.

• Event-Driven Architectures (Apache Kafka): Knowledge in the integration of SAP environments with Kafka for real-time data stream streaming, ingestion, and consumption.

• API / REST Ecosystem: Mastery in the design and consumption of RESTful APIs (JSON/XML) and web services to securely connect SAP components with external systems (OAuth 2.0, SSL/TLS certificates).

• Complex Third-Party Integrations: Experience connecting hybrid SAP landscapes with external platforms (CRMs, non-SAP ERPs, legacy systems) through direct connectors or middleware layers (SAP PO, SAP Integration Suite/CPI).

• Technical Proceduralization: Ability to document, standardize, and draft operating procedures (runbooks, technical contingency guides) for critical tasks (patching, client copies, Disaster Recovery).

• Change Governance: Experience under IT management methodologies (ITIL, SAP Activate) in demanding corporate environments.

• Architectural Evolution: Ability to transform legacy integration architectures toward modern approaches.

• Consultative Vision and Proactivity: Ability to transform abstract technical problems into clear solution proposals, justifying their technical feasibility and return on investment (ROI) to executive profiles (C-Level).

• Technical Leadership: Autonomy to guide Basis/Integration support teams, make complex architectural decisions, and coordinate effectively with external infrastructure providers or SAP itself.

• Effective Communication: Excellent formal technical documentation writing skills and interpersonal skills for internal/external client management.
