Responsive recruiter
Benefits:BVA Bears IT Solutions is seeking an SAP BRIM -Data Migration Architect to work in the Middletown, PA area. This is a full time position with at least 2 days on-site and
possibly 3 days remote.
As an SAP BRIM-Data Migration Architect, you will lead the end-to-end strategy, design, and execution of data migration for SAP Billing and Revenue Innovation Management (BRIM) and SAP S/4HANA. This role defines the migration approach for extreme-volume subscription, usage, billing, invoicing, and payments data; oversees source-to-target mapping, delta-load cutovers, and reconciliation; and ensures performance, security, and compliance (PCI DSS, SOC1/SOC2). The architect collaborates with business SMEs, functional consultants, integration teams, and testers to deliver repeatable, auditable migration waves with minimal downtime and business disruption.
Key Responsibilities: - Migration Strategy & Planning
- Define the migration blueprint (waves, mock runs, dress rehearsals, cutover plan) for SAP BRIM (SOM, CI, CC) and related S/4HANA components.
- Select migration patterns (initial load, delta load, real-time catch-up) and rollback strategies to meet SLA and operational continuity.
- Establish reconciliation and sign-off criteria with business owners for each migration wave.
- Data Modeling, Mapping & Transformation
- Lead source-to-target mapping for subscriptions, contracts, usage events, invoices, payments, and disputes across SAP/non-SAP systems.
- Define transformation logic, data quality rules, and survivorship policies; maintain canonical models to minimize replication.
- Create detailed mapping specs, lookup tables, and crosswalks for legacy codes, customer identifiers, and product catalogs.
- Integration & Pipeline Architecture
- Architect scalable pipelines using SAP PO/CPI, BTP CAP, APIs, and secure file/streaming transports to move high-volume data.
- Design performant staging and load processes (parallelization, partitioning, bulk APIs, OData/CDS extractions, ABAP loaders).
- Coordinate with mediation systems for usage capture and rating alignment to ensure downstream CI/CC integrity.
- Cutover Execution & Reconciliation
- Orchestrate mock loads, trial reconciliations, and dress rehearsals; optimize runtime and window constraints.
- Implement automated reconciliation (counts, sums, sampling), dispute continuity for migrated transactions, and variance handling.
- Provide hyper care runbooks and defect triage procedures for post-cutover stabilization.
- Security, Compliance & Risk Management
- Ensure migration pipelines and landing zones meet PCI DSS and SOC1/SOC2 controls (tokenization, encryption, RBAC, secrets management).
- Document control evidence; partner with InfoSec to validate data handling and retention policies.
- Conduct risk assessments and contingency planning; track mitigations to closure.
- Testing & Quality Assurance
- Define test data strategy; support SIT/UAT for functional and performance validation of migrated data.
- Review test scripts and results; lead defect root-cause analysis and remediation across source, transform, and load stages.
- Documentation & Governance
- Produce architecture diagrams, migration playbooks, runbooks, impact analyses, and sign-off artifacts using Commission templates.
- Manage features, user stories, and tasks in Azure DevOps (ADO)/JIRA; maintain traceability from requirement to load to reconciliation.
- Collaboration & Enablement
- Lead workshops with business stakeholders and SMEs; align migration scope and acceptance criteria.
- Mentor developers and data engineers on BRIM migration practices; contribute lessons learned and best-practice catalogs.
Qualifications:
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Engineering, or related field.
- Experience: 7+ years in enterprise data migration/data engineering; 3+ years leading migrations for SAP S/4HANA/BRIM.
- 2+ full-cycle SAP BRIM implementations with hands-on experience in SOM and CI (exposure to CC preferred).
- Proven delivery of extreme high-volume loads and delta cutovers with minimal downtime.
Skills: - Expertise in SAP BRIM data structures and process flows (subscription, rating, invoicing, payments, disputes).
- Strong command of SAP BTP, CPI/PO, CAP, OData/CDS, ABAP extraction/load techniques, and API design.
- Performance tuning, parallelization, and observability (logging, tracing, metrics, SLIs/SLOs).
- Secure data handling (encryption, tokenization), data quality, reconciliation, and audit-ready documentation.
- Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and cross-functional leadership.
Preferred Skills: - SAP BRIM certifications (e.g., BR235/240/245/416).
- Experience in utilities or transportation with usage-based subscription/billing models.
- Hybrid Agile delivery; strong CI/CD and backlog governance in ADO/JIRA.
- Familiarity with ServiceNow for post go-live incident/problem management.
