Solution Seeburger Architect

Mandatory Requirements

The recruiter should prioritize candidates with:

• Strong hands-on architecture experience with SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite, BIS.
• Proven experience designing large-scale B2B and EDI integration solutions.
• Knowledge of EDI standards, particularly EDIFACT and ANSI X12.
• Experience with partner onboarding, partner profiles, routing, validation, acknowledgements, mappings, certificates, and connectivity.
• Strong understanding of integration protocols such as AS2, SFTP, HTTPS, REST APIs, and managed file transfer.
• Experience defining enterprise integration patterns across B2B/EDI, APIs, ESB, MFT, application integration, and cloud integration.
• Experience integrating SEEBURGER with other integration platforms, enterprise applications, API gateways, file-transfer tools, and monitoring solutions.
• Ability to define end-to-end solution architecture covering connectivity, transformation, orchestration, security, monitoring, error handling, and recovery.
• Experience producing architecture diagrams, integration patterns, interface inventories, decision records, and technical design documentation.
• Strong stakeholder-management skills with the ability to coordinate vendors, platform teams, infrastructure, network, cybersecurity, IAM, DevOps, application teams, and support organizations.
• Ability to lead architecture reviews, resolve cross-platform design dependencies, and establish architecture approval gates before implementation.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.

Key Technical Skills

The candidate should have experience in several of the following areas:

• SEEBURGER BIS
• B2B integration and EDI
• EDIFACT and ANSI X12
• XML, JSON, CSV, flat files, and IDoc
• AS2, SFTP, HTTPS, REST APIs, and MFT
• API management and API gateways
• ESB and application integration
• Message transformation and mapping
• Process orchestration and routing
• Partner onboarding and certificate management
• Cloud and hybrid integration architecture
• AWS integration environments
• IAM, SSO, provisioning, and role-based access
• Logging, monitoring, alerting, and transaction traceability
• High availability, disaster recovery, resilience, and scalability
• CI/CD, environment promotion, release management, and rollback

Preferred Experience

The following experience would be highly valuable:

• Integration experience in logistics, supply chain, freight forwarding, transportation, or another high-volume B2B environment.
• Architecture or delivery experience with global, business-critical integration platforms.
• Migration from legacy EDI or integration platforms to SEEBURGER.
• Coexistence between SEEBURGER and other integration platforms during phased migration.
• Experience with integration technologies such as TIBCO, WSO2, GoAnywhere, Dynatrace, or equivalent products.
• Experience designing centralized end-to-end visibility across multiple integration platforms.
• Experience working with globally distributed delivery teams, vendors, and business stakeholders.
• Experience defining canonical data models, direct mapping standards, master-data cross-references, and reusable integration assets.

Primary Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end technical and integration architecture for the SEEBURGER implementation.
• Translate SEEBURGER capabilities into approved enterprise architecture patterns.
• Align the platform design with enterprise integration, security, infrastructure, cloud, IAM, observability, and operational principles.
• Coordinate integrations between SEEBURGER and existing API, ESB, MFT, EDI, IAM, observability, cloud, and application platforms.
• Define platform responsibilities and clarify boundaries between SEEBURGER and other integration tools.
• Establish reusable standards for connectivity, mapping, routing, orchestration, monitoring, exception management, and recovery.
• Guide decisions on canonical versus direct mappings and reusable versus interface-specific components.
• Coordinate network, firewall, DNS, certificate, endpoint, private connectivity, redundancy, and SLA requirements.
• Define SSO, authentication, authorization, provisioning, offboarding, service-account, and privileged-access patterns with security and IAM teams.
• Define end-to-end monitoring, correlation, transaction traceability, logging, alerting, and business visibility requirements.
• Identify product gaps, architectural constraints, customization needs, and dependencies on other enterprise platforms.
• Own or coordinate the target architecture, detailed architecture documents, decision logs, interface diagrams, and dependency maps.
• Lead technical design reviews and confirm architecture readiness before implementation begins.
• Provide architectural guidance throughout design, build, testing, migration, cutover, and production stabilization.
• Challenge proposed custom development when standard SEEBURGER or enterprise capabilities can meet the requirement.
• Ensure implementations remain aligned with the approved target architecture.

Expected Deliverables

• Current-state and target-state integration architecture.
