  • Strong command of the ERP ecosystem: You understand APIs, data models, and integration patterns across SAP (Ariba, S/4HANA, ECC), Oracle, Workday, Coupa, Ivalua, Jaggaer, and others
  • Hands-on fluency with integration architecture and middleware: iPaaS (MuleSoft, Boomi, Workato), REST APIs, event-driven patterns, ETL
