Description

Global Robotics Delivery is seeking an innovative, customer-obsessed, and technically deep Systems Development Engineer to own the design, build, and delivery of SAP Ariba procurement solutions across Amazon Robotics' ERP and business application landscape.

-Lead the end-to-end technical design and implementation of SAP Ariba modules (Sourcing, Contracts, Buying, Invoice Management, Supplier Lifecycle & Performance) integrated with SAP S/4 HANA, Oracle EBS, and adjacent enterprise systems across Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Procurement domains.

-Strong understanding of SAP Ariba architecture, CIG (Cloud Integration Gateway), APIs, middleware connectivity, master data synchronization, and procurement workflow configuration is essential.

-Collaborate with product, business, and technology teams to assess procurement automation needs, evaluate solution alternatives, and build a scalable Ariba implementation roadmap aligned with business priorities.

-Design and document end-to-end Ariba solution blueprints, integration specifications, data migration strategies, and configuration workbooks with clear, measurable success criteria.

-Define Ariba configuration standards, governance frameworks, and reusable templates that accelerate delivery and reduce technical debt across the procurement portfolio.

-Drive Build vs. Buy vs. Configure decisions for procurement capabilities, evaluating native Ariba functionality, custom extensions, and third-party add-ons for optimal customer experience and total cost of ownership.

-Analyze system performance, identify bottlenecks, and lead initiatives that drive reliability, scalability, and process improvements across the Ariba platform.

-Present architecture reviews, solution demos, status updates, and risk/mitigation strategies to all levels of leadership, partners, and stakeholders.

-Ensure all stakeholders are well informed of implementation design decisions, dependencies, and program milestones.

-Foster an inclusive culture that encourages knowledge sharing and continuous learning.

Key job responsibilities

-Own the end-to-end SAP Ariba implementation vision and multi-year roadmap for Amazon Robotics' procurement ecosystem, defining what to implement, when to deliver, and how to measure success.

-Develop and maintain architecture narratives, PR/FAQs, and technical design documents that articulate the strategic direction for Ariba-enabled procurement transformation, securing alignment across multiple leadership organizations.

-Leverage SAP Ariba's native capabilities and Cloud Integration Gateway, evaluating when to use standard connectors, custom APIs, or third-party solutions for optimal reliability and scalability.

-Define Ariba implementation tenets and architectural principles that guide trade-off decisions across the ERP portfolio (spanning SAP S/4 HANA, Oracle EBS, and adjacent platforms).

-Influence technical priorities through data-driven contributions, ensuring engineering efforts align with the highest-value procurement automation outcomes.

-Design and implement SAP Ariba solutions encompassing procurement workflows, catalog management, supplier onboarding, sourcing events, contract lifecycle management, and invoice automation across cloud and on-premise environments.

-Define configuration standards, data mapping specifications, error handling frameworks, and monitoring strategies that ensure reliability, traceability, and operational excellence across the Ariba platform.

-Partner with engineering teams to translate Ariba solution designs into deliverable work packages with clear acceptance criteria, dependency maps, and testing strategies including integration testing, UAT, and cutover planning.

-Conduct architecture reviews and technical deep dives to ensure Ariba solutions meet security, compliance, SOX controls, and performance requirements.

-Build and maintain Ariba configurations and integrations with upstream and downstream systems — including purchase order synchronization, goods receipt matching, invoice reconciliation, and supplier master data replication — ensuring seamless end-to-end procure-to-pay orchestration.
