- Partner with OneSource and Ariba technical teams to troubleshoot API-level integration issues, including payload errors, timeouts, and data mapping mismatches
- Troubleshoot and resolve technical integration defects, including interface failures and data mapping issues

- Must have experience integrating SAP S/4HANA with external tax engines such as OneSource, Vertex, or similar
- Hands-on experience building and supporting API-based integrations (REST/SOAP, OData) between SAP and cloud-based platforms
- Experience troubleshooting integration issues across a hybrid landscape spanning on-premise SAP and cloud-based SaaS platforms (e.g., OneSource, Ariba)
