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.
