About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Integration Architect / Integration Lead to act as the primary operational bridge between non-technical business stakeholders, application owners, and technical delivery teams. In this role, you will take end-to-end technical ownership of integration initiatives: clarifying business requirements, designing practical integration patterns (primarily in Microsoft Azure and enterprise systems like SAP), performing functional and API testing, and resolving production incidents. Please note: This is not a hands-off, theoretical architecture role, nor is it a pure daily coding position. No direct team management is required. We are looking for an experienced professional with a solid technical background who enjoys hands-on solution design, technical validation, and cross-functional alignment.

Key Responsibilities
* Analyze business requests and translate them into robust, secure, and maintainable end-to-end integration designs across Azure, SAP, and in-house applications.
* Define interface specifications, data contracts (JSON/XML), data mappings, error handling procedures, and integration patterns (REST APIs, asynchronous messaging, queues, topics).
* Perform technical and functional endpoint testing using tools such as Bruno, Postman, or similar suites prior to production go-live.
* Coordinate implementation activities with internal development squads and external partners without requiring formal hierarchical authority.
* Investigate and troubleshoot distributed integration failures and production incidents across system boundaries.
* Act as the trusted technical advisor for non-technical business teams, explaining integration concepts clearly and challenging unnecessary technical complexity constructively. Key Requirements (Must-Have):
* Senior Professional Background: ~8 to 10+ years of relevant experience in enterprise IT, systems integration, middleware, or cloud solution consulting.
* Azure Integration Stack (~60% focus):



Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Azure integration services, specifically Azure Logic Apps, Azure API Management (APIM), and Azure Service Bus.
* Enterprise Integration Patterns: Deep understanding of REST APIs, data contracts, JSON/XML, synchronous vs. asynchronous integration, messaging queues, topics, and publish/subscribe mechanisms.
* Hands-on API Testing & Data Mapping: Practical experience with API testing tools (Bruno, Postman, or equivalent), data transformations, field mappings, and error-handling strategies.
* ERP Awareness (~40% focus): Practical familiarity with enterprise ERP landscapes, particularly SAP (e.g., S/4HANA or ECC), understanding how transactional business data moves across core modules.
* Structured Troubleshooting: Demonstrated ability to trace distributed transactions, inspect logs, and isolate root causes across multi-system landscapes.
* Communication & Languages: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to articulate technical topics clearly to non-technical stakeholders. Fluent professional English is required. Nice-to-Have

Skills:
* Familiarity with enterprise applications such as IFS Cloud, FSM, or CRM platforms.
* Exposure to B2B/EDI protocols and standards (EDIFACT, AS2, X12).
* Familiarity with complementary Azure services (Azure Functions, Event Hubs, Azure Data Factory, Entra ID).
* Basic knowledge of scripting, querying, or automation (C#/.
NET, Python, SQL, Terraform, or Azure Bicep).
* Working knowledge of Git, Azure DevOps, and CI/CD concepts.
* German language skills.
* Microsoft Azure Certifications (e.g., AZ-305, AZ-204, or legacy credentials).
