Senior Backend / Integration Engineer (SAP & Enterprise Interfaces)

Backend Developer • Senior • Remote • Full-time • European Union EU/EMEA

This is a genuine engineering role, not a middleware-configuration position: you help build the integration layer of Personal.manager (PM), a healthcare staff- and shift-planning platform, on the NodeJS/PostgreSQL side - with its own REST API, outbox, workers and event bus - and connect it programmatically via the SAP Integration Suite to target systems such as SAP HCM behind a DMZ gateway. You are the technical owner of the entire integration domain, from architecture to operations.

Responsibilities

  • ▹Build REST endpoints for master data and lookups
  • ▹Event and webhook delivery for transactional data (absences, time bookings, shift schedules, quotas, payroll-relevant status changes)
  • ▹Implement the DB outbox pattern and worker logic, retry and dead-letter handling
  • ▹Connect to EMQX as the internal event bus
  • ▹Build versioned payload contracts and an auditable integration history
  • ▹Implement flows programmatically on the SAP Integration Suite side, custom scripts, adapter logic, transformations
  • ▹Keep PM↔SAP mappings testable and versionable
  • ▹Build clean error channels, coordinate technically with customers' SAP teams

Requirements

  • ▹Routine experience building REST APIs and event-based integrations in NodeJS/TypeScript (or a comparable stack)
  • ▹Comfortable with PostgreSQL
  • ▹Hands-on experience with the outbox pattern, idempotency, retry strategies, dead-letter queues, webhooks, MQTT/AMQP brokers (EMQX, RabbitMQ, Kafka)
  • ▹Familiarity with structured logging, correlation IDs, versioned contracts
  • ▹Systems thinking about interfaces with clear contracts

Nice to have

  • ▹Experience with the SAP Integration Suite (Cloud Integration / CPI), especially its programmatic extension points (Groovy scripting, custom adapters, custom flow logic)
  • ▹Regulated customer environments, DMZ gateways, audit-proof logging
  • ▹SaaS platform architectures, API design, event-driven architectures

Soft skills

Independent technical ownershipNo lead/hands-on split - you build integrations cleanly yourself rather than reviewing others' work

What we offer

  • ▹Short decision paths, real room to shape things, direct connection to product and decision-making
  • ▹100% remote, hybrid, or on-site in St. Wendel
  • ▹Fair pay based on experience and responsibility
  • ▹30 days of vacation
  • ▹Modern office with shower, washing machine, and espresso machine
