Job Description
Main purpose of the job
The successful candidate will join our integration team to operate, maintain, and enhance SAP Cloud Integration (SAP CI) solutions that connect SAP S/4HANA with a diverse landscape of business applications. Working approximately 70% in operations and 30% in development, you will take day-to-day technical ownership of integration solutions after project handover, ensuring they run reliably in production while continuously improving them through smaller enhancements and change requests. You will work closely with platform teams, application owners, project teams, and business stakeholders to keep integrations healthy and evolving.
What you will do
- Your passion is building and running reliable integrations. You don't just deploy flows; you take pride in operating them with discipline and continuously improving them.
- You take over approved SAP CI solutions after project handover and assume day-to-day technical ownership through their full lifecycle.
- You monitor integration flows and message processing, analyse and resolve standard incidents, and diagnose issues across SAP CI and the connected source and target applications.
- You fix defects, implement standard change requests and smaller enhancements, and deploy corrections through the established release and transport processes.
- You develop and modify standard SAP CI integration flows, configure integrations using the required protocols and technologies, and create or adjust XML/JSON transformations and XPath expressions.
- You manage solution-specific certificates, credentials, and configurations, ensuring integrations stay secure and compliant.
- You contribute your SAP CI expertise within the existing incident-management process, handling standard cases independently and escalating complex ones to internal SAP CI seniors with a clear initial technical analysis.
- You collaborate closely with source and target system teams during problem analysis, and communicate confidently with platform, application, project, and support teams.
- You maintain technical and operational documentation, capturing troubleshooting findings, procedures, and solution-specific knowledge so the team's collective capability keeps growing.
- You share SAP CI knowledge through documentation, pairing, and daily collaboration, helping colleagues build practical SAP CI skills through joint operational and development work.
- Your task requires close coordination with the SAP CI platform team, application teams, project teams, and business stakeholders.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field.
- 2 to 4 years of hands-on SAP (Cloud) Integration experience

- Experience with SAP S/4HANA integrations.
- Practical experience taking over and maintaining approved solutions after project handover.
- Hands-on ability to configure integrations using the required protocols and technologies.
- Skills in creating and adjusting XML/JSON transformations and XPath expressions.
- Sound knowledge and skills of technologies (e.g. Java, JSON, XML, REST/SOAP) and integration solutions (e.g. API, ETL, ESB)
- Experience managing certificates, credentials, and solution-specific configurations.
- Experience managing releases and transports according to established processes.
- Structured and methodical troubleshooting approach, with the ability to work independently on standard cases.
- Confident written and verbal English communication skills, sufficient for calls, stakeholder discussions, and technical documentation.
- Experience working within formal incident-management and change-management processes
- Exposure to a broad range of SAP and non-SAP connected applications as source or target systems.
- Experience contributing to process improvements and helping adapt established processes to SAP CI specifics.
- SAP certifications relevant to Cloud Integration or Integration Suite (not required, but an added advantage).
Behavioural competencies
- Excellent English communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain technical problems and their business impact in clear language.
- Structured questioning skills to gather information effectively from business users and non-technical stakeholders.
- Proactive communication about progress, risks, and blockers, including concise status updates covering impact, findings, next steps, and expected resolution.
- Strong sense of ownership, seeing assigned work through to resolution within the established support process.
- Structured and methodical problem-solving approach.
- Willingness to follow established processes and constructively help adjust them where needed for SAP CI.
- Effective interpersonal and relationship-building skills across technical and non-technical audiences.

Be careful of Recruitment Scams: Fraudsters or employment scammers often pose as legitimate recruiters, employers, recruitment consultants or job placement firms, advertising false job opportunities through email, text messages and WhatsApp messages. They aim to cheat jobseekers out of money or to steal personal information.
To help you look out for potential recruitment scams, here are some Red Flags:
- Upfront Payment Requests: Deloitte will never ask for any upfront payment for background checks, job training, or supplies.
- Requests for Personal Information: Be wary if you are asked for sensitive personal information, especially early in the recruitment process and without a clear need for it. Fraudulent links or contractual documents may require the provision of sensitive personal data or copy documents (e.g., government issued numbers or identity documents, passports or passport numbers, bank account statements or numbers, parent’s data) that may be used for identity fraud. Do not provide or send any of these documents or data. Please note we will never ask for photographs at any stage of the recruitment process.
- Unprofessional Communication: Scammers may communicate in an unprofessional manner. Their messages may be filled with poor grammar and spelling errors. The look and feel may not be consistent with the Deloitte corporate brand.
