Educational Qualification : 15 years full time education

Summary
Build AI native, enterprise integration products on SAP BTP Integration Suite by combining strong integration engineering fundamentals with agentic AI patterns (LLMs + tools + retrieval + evaluation). The role focuses on creating and operating production-grade integrations across cloud, on premise, and hybrid landscapes—while augmenting the integration lifecycle with intelligent capabilities such as automated iFlow generation, mapping recommendations, anomaly detection, predictive operations, and conversational troubleshooting. This role owns AI behavior in the integration layer (grounding, safety, evaluation), not just AI-assisted development.

Core Responsibilities
1) Integration Engineering (Cloud, Hybrid, On Prem)
Design, develop, and run end-to-end integration scenarios using cloud integration capabilities, enabling reliable connectivity across SAP and non SAP systems.
Build, structure, and manage large integration flows with clear modularity, reusability, and maintainability for enterprise scale.
2) Integration Flow Development (iFlows) & Message Transformation
Create and maintain integration flows using routing, splitting, gathering, and other transformation patterns.
Implement message mappings and data transformations for common enterprise formats (e.g., JSON, XML, CSV), ensuring semantic correctness and downstream compatibility.
Apply canonical modeling and contract-first practices to reduce brittle point-to-point dependencies.
3) Scripting, Persistence & Advanced Flow Control
Use scripting (e.g., Groovy) to implement complex transformation logic, enrichment, validation, and conditional execution paths.
Implement message persistence patterns (e.g., data stores) to support idempotency, retries, correlation, and resilience.
4) API & Connector Enablement
Design and expose secure APIs through API management capabilities (policies, authentication/authorization, throttling, versioning).
Integrate with third party applications using connector-based approaches and standardized integration patterns.
Enable event-driven integration approaches using messaging/event capabilities for near real-time propagation and decoupled architectures.
5) AI Native Integration Intelligence (Agentic Integration Layer)
Build integration agents that can generate initial iFlows from system/endpoint selections and naming conventions, then validate them against enterprise standards.
Implement retrieval-grounded assistance that pulls from interface catalogs, mapping specs, standards, runbooks, and known incident patterns to produce verifiable recommendations (no free-form guessing).
Apply intelligent recommendations for mapping and configuration, accelerating build and reducing rework.
Develop AI-driven anomaly detection and prediction for integration/API behavior (error spikes, latency patterns), with human-in-the-loop controls for remediation actions.
Optimize and analyze scripts used in integration flows for performance and maintainability through AI-assisted code analysis techniques.
6) Testing, Quality Engineering & Evaluation Loops
Build automated testing strategies for integrations: schema/contract validation, payload regression suites, replay testing, and API testing tool-driven verification.
Implement AI evaluation harnesses (offline golden test sets + online monitoring) for generated mappings, generated flows, and operational recommendations.
Establish release gates for both integration changes and AI prompt/tool updates to prevent silent degradation.
7) Monitoring, Troubleshooting & Observability
Set up monitoring dashboards and alerts for flows, APIs, and event-driven pipelines establish traceability with correlation IDs and end-to-end tracking.
Diagnose and resolve integration issues using structured logs, message traces, and failure-mode analysis.
Create AI-native operational experiences such as conversational root-cause analysis, runbook-guided remediation, and impact analysis—bounded by role-based access and approval workflows.
8) Integration Strategy & Maturity Enablement
Apply integration advisory practices to design hybrid integration platforms and define integration best practices across teams.
Use integration assessment approaches to improve integration maturity, standardize patterns, and automate repeatable architectural governance where feasible.

Primary Skills (AI Native Must Have)
Strong hands-on expertise with SAP BTP Integration Suite concepts and building blocks (cloud integration/iFlows, transformation patterns, monitoring).
Proven ability to implement message mappings, routing patterns, and transformation logic across enterprise data formats.
Practical scripting capability (e.g., Groovy) for advanced integration flow customization and performance tuning.
Solid API design and management fundamentals (security, throttling, lifecycle/versioning, observability).
AI-native delivery capability: tool-augmented workflows, retrieval-grounded outputs, measurable evaluation loops, and safe action boundaries.

Secondary / Strongly Beneficial Skills
Event-driven integration design and enterprise messaging patterns.
Connector-based integrations with third-party SaaS ecosystems.
Migration and modernization experience from legacy integration platforms to cloud integration.
Integration governance and advisory methodologies for enterprise-wide standardization.

What This Role Does Not Center On
Training or fine-tuning foundation models from scratch.
AI-assisted only integration work this role builds and owns AI behavior in the integration layer (grounding, evaluation, guardrails, observability).

Value Delivered
Faster integration delivery via intelligent flow generation, mapping recommendations, and script optimization.
Higher reliability and lower run cost via anomaly detection, predictive operations, and grounded troubleshooting.
Scalable integration landscapes through standardized patterns, governance, and maturity enablement.
