SF Integration Architect_1876

We are seeking an experienced SF Integration Architect with deep expertise in SAP SuccessFactors integration and SAP Integration Suite (CPI) as your main skill, ready to define, govern and evolve the integration architecture of our HR and talent landscape at Allianz Technology.

You will

• Define and own the end-to-end integration architecture for SAP SuccessFactors (e.g. Employee Central, Recruiting, Onboarding, Learning, Performance & Goals, Compensation), covering both cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-on-premise scenarios across the Allianz Technology landscape.
• Translate business and functional requirements from HR, IT and data owners into scalable, secure and maintainable target integration designs, and select the right integration pattern and technology (e.g. SAP Integration Suite / CPI, SuccessFactors Integration Center, OData/SOAP APIs, SFTP-based file exchange).
• Lead the design of key integration flows such as Employee Central to payroll, identity and access management, finance and downstream HR systems, including mapping, routing, delta-handling, error-handling and monitoring concepts following integration best practices.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to integration developers and consultants, review iFlow designs and implementations, and ensure quality, performance and reliability of interfaces from build through production operations.
• Define and enforce integration standards and guidelines, such as API and interface naming conventions, reusable integration patterns, authentication concepts (e.g. OAuth 2.0, SAML bearer, certificates) and role-based permissions for integration users.
• Create and maintain architecture documentation (e.g. interface catalogues, solution architecture documents, sequence diagrams, architecture decision records), and present designs in Design Authority and Enterprise Architecture reviews.
• Ensure compliance with IT risk, information security, data protection (GDPR) and regulatory requirements (e.g. DORA) for HR data flows, and drive alignment with Enterprise Architecture standards to avoid technical debt.
• Manage the impact of SuccessFactors release cycles, API changes and deprecations on existing interfaces, and plan regression testing and adaptation of integration content in a timely manner.
• Collaborate with cross-functional and international teams, vendors and product owners, contributing to a culture of continuous improvement and knowledge sharing.
• Familiarity with basic AI tools is considered an advantage.

Your skills

• SAP SuccessFactors integration and SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI) as your main and primary skills, with around 8 years of relevant experience in integration development and architecture (AGS level 8), of which at least 4 years in architecting or leading SuccessFactors integration solutions.
• Strong knowledge of SuccessFactors integration technologies, such as Integration Center, OData API (v2/v4), SOAP APIs, Compound Employee API, Intelligent Services and the SAP-delivered integration content for SuccessFactors on SAP Integration Suite.
• Solid understanding of at least one SuccessFactors core module (preferably Employee Central) including its data model, foundation objects, role-based permissions and typical downstream integrations (e.g. payroll, identity management, S/4HANA, finance).
• Solid understanding of integration methodologies, enterprise integration patterns, middleware concepts, event-driven architectures and API management (e.g. SAP API Management or similar), including security concepts for sensitive HR data.
• Experience with additional integration or connectivity technologies (e.g. Process Orchestration/PI-PO, SAP BTP services, Boomi, MuleSoft, or similar) is a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex interface and data consistency issues across systems.
• Ability to exchange ideas and information effectively in a concise and logical way, with attention to cost-effective, secure and compliant design choices.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence and advise at various levels, from developers to senior business and IT stakeholders.
• Proven experience across the full project lifecycle, from requirements gathering and solution architecture to design governance, implementation support, testing and deployment.
