Senior Software Engineer - ERP Procurement Systems

Senior Software Engineer - ERP Procurement Systems (Remote)

RESP & Qualifications

PURPOSE:

CareFirst is seeking a Senior Software Engineer for ERP Procurement Systems to own, enhance, integrate, and support the technology that enables source-to-pay and procure-to-pay operations. The immediate focus is the current production landscape, including SAP Ariba, Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), supplier connectivity, catalogs, purchasing, invoicing, and downstream financial integrations.

This role is intentionally platform flexible. The engineer will improve reliability and business value today while helping create reusable integration, data, documentation, and control foundations for a future cloud ERP program that may include Workday, Oracle Cloud ERP, or another selected platform. This is an opportunity to combine hands-on engineering with procurement-process expertise and influence the long-term roadmap without requiring a predetermined implementation date.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

Current-State Engineering & Support

• Design, develop, test, deploy, and support integrations and enhancements across SAP Ariba, Oracle EBS Procurement/Payables, supplier systems, catalogs, marketplaces, and related enterprise services.
• Provide advanced production support; diagnose integration failures, data inconsistencies, workflow issues, and performance problems through root-cause analysis and durable remediation.
• Support requisitioning, purchasing, receiving, invoicing, supplier onboarding, sourcing, contracts, approval routing, and master-data processes.
• Partner with Procurement, Accounts Payable, Finance, Security, Infrastructure, vendors, and managed-service partners to prioritize incidents and enhancements.

Integration, Automation & Controls

• Build and maintain secure interfaces using APIs, middleware, file-based exchange, and scheduled or event-driven patterns.
• Improve catalog enablement, supplier connectivity, touchless transaction processing, monitoring, reconciliation, and operational reporting.
• Maintain technical specifications, support procedures, interface inventories, data mappings, test evidence, and audit-ready documentation.
• Participate in change advisory, release, deployment, access-control, and production-validation activities.

Future-State Readiness

• Document current-state configurations, customizations, integrations, data dependencies, controls, and pain points to reduce future discovery effort.
• Evaluate Workday Procurement, Oracle Cloud ERP, and other platform capabilities when requested; contribute to fit-gap analysis, proofs of concept, data conversion, integration strategy, and roadmap decisions.
• Favor vendor-neutral, loosely coupled patterns that protect current operations and can be reused during eventual modernization.

SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITY:

Position does not have direct reports but is expected to guide and mentor less experienced staff and may coordinate matrixed resources.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Education Level: Bachelors degree in information technology, Computer Science, Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field OR in lieu of a Bachelors degree, an additional 4 years of relevant work experience in addition to the required work experience.

• Experience: 5 years experience with software development, basic coding and compilation, software architecture/design, user requirements definition and software specification development. 8+ years of experience in procurement systems engineering, enterprise applications, ERP integrations, or a closely related area, including substantial hands-on production support and delivery experience. Hands-on technical experience with SAP Ariba and/or Oracle EBS Procurement or Payables, plus strong knowledge of procure-to-pay or source-to-pay processes. Experience designing, building, troubleshooting, and supporting ERP integrations and data flows. Ability to work directly with procurement and finance stakeholders to refine requirements and deliver practical solutions.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with both SAP Ariba and Oracle EBS Financials (PO, AP, GL, Supplier/Vendor Master).

• Experience with Workday Procurement, Workday Financial Management, Oracle Cloud ERP, Boomi, MuleSoft, or Oracle Integration Cloud.

• Experience in healthcare, insurance, or another regulated industry; SAFe or Agile certification is a plus.

• Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSAs)

• Ability to translate between business process, functional requirements, data, integrations, and technical design.

• Experience integrating complex enterprise systems using REST/SOAP APIs, XML/JSON, SFTP, middleware, and batch or event-driven patterns.

• Knowledge and understanding of the software development life cycle (SDLC), Agile delivery, release management, CI/CD, testing, and code-quality practices.

• Working knowledge of cloud technologies such as AWS or Azure and database technologies such as SQL and Oracle.

• Excellent written and verbal communication, documentation, stakeholder-management, and customer-service skills.

• Ability to manage competing priorities, meet established deadlines, and provide effective service to internal and external customers.

• Familiarity with security, segregation of duties, audit controls, and data governance in a regulated environment.
