About the role

Hands-on engineer responsible for designing, building, and operating integrations and first-party applications powering OpenAI’s procurement workflows, spanning Oracle Fusion, Zip, and connected platforms.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate integrations across Oracle Fusion, Zip, and connected systems using APIs, events, messaging, and batch interfaces where appropriate.
  • Build first-party procurement applications, backend services, and user-facing workflows that simplify intake, approvals, transaction visibility, and exception resolution.
  • Write maintainable code and reusable integration components, with version control, code review, automated tests, and repeatable deployment and rollback practices.
  • Define data contracts, mappings, durable identifiers, lifecycle states, and authoritative data ownership so transactions remain accurate and traceable across systems.
  • Engineer reliable processing through validation, idempotency, retries, monitoring, alerting, reconciliation, recovery, and readback from the system of record.
  • Build and evaluate AI-enabled workflows using OpenAI technology, with scoped tool access, explicit approval boundaries, audit trails, and safe handling of errors or uncertain outputs.
  • Make targeted Oracle Fusion and Zip configuration changes that support delivered workflows, such as intake fields, routing, approvals, and supplier settings, in partnership with Procurement, AP, and functional specialists.
  • Own technical testing and release readiness, including integration and regression tests, business UAT, migration validation, staged rollout, and operational documentation.
  • Own the long-term procurement applications and integrations roadmap, prioritizing reusable capabilities and making clear build-versus-configure decisions with business and engineering partners.
  • Own production health and incident resolution, protect access and financial controls, and deliver durable fixes that reduce failed transactions, manual intervention, and procurement cycle time.

Qualifications

  • Have 6+ years of experience in enterprise integrations, software engineering, or business systems engineering, with substantial hands-on responsibility for building and operating production solutions.
  • Can personally write, review, test, and debug production code in Python or TypeScript, and use SQL to investigate data quality, reconcile systems, and validate outcomes.
  • Hands-on experience integrating with Oracle Fusion and understanding how Procurement and Payables transactions move through its APIs, data models, and interfaces.
  • Designed and shipped APIs, services, or internal applications, and can explain implementation choices, failure modes, and production results.
  • Understand REST APIs, JSON, authentication and authorization, data modeling, and event-driven or message-based integration patterns.
  • Have built and operated integrations using OIC, Workato, or comparable platforms, and can choose when custom code, native APIs, or an integration platform best fits the problem.
  • Owned production troubleshooting and service reliability, including observability, retries, reconciliation, incident response, and safe recovery.
  • Understand the P2P lifecycle and how approvals, supplier data, purchase orders, receiving, matching, invoices, and payments affect downstream accounting and controls.
  • Can make targeted functional configuration changes and validate their business impact, while partnering with specialists for deeper module design.
  • Experience with Zip is a plus.
  • Apply secure engineering and financial-control practices, including least-privilege access, segregation of duties, sensitive-change approvals, and auditable transaction histories.
  • Communicate clearly with Procurement, AP, Accounting, Risk, and Engineering, turn ambiguous needs into working software, and bring curiosity about building and evaluating AI-enabled applications.
