Lead architecture and hands-on implementation using Boomi (atoms, molecules, connectors, process routing) as the primary middleware platform.

Design scalable integration patterns — real-time APIs, event-driven integrations, and batch/file-based flows — connecting Oracle HCM to Eightfold, LMS, payroll, benefits, and IT/ERP systems.

Maintain data integrity, auditability, and compliance (GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA) across all integration flows.

Supervise and guide integration developers through the full development lifecycle, including code reviews, design reviews, and documentation standards.

Identify and deliver high-value AI and automation use cases across the HR lifecycle — intelligent onboarding, workflow automation, AI-assisted case triage, talent insights, and conversational self-service.

Architect and implement AI capabilities within Oracle HCM Cloud, Eightfold’s talent intelligence platform, and ServiceNow HRSD.

Build and prototype solutions leveraging HR-specific AI platforms, taking ideas from POC to production.

Embed AI/ML, NLP, and chatbot capabilities into HR workflows and digital employee experience channels, aligned with enterprise AI governance standards.

Establish AI performance monitoring and responsible AI frameworks for HR use cases.

Design HR data models, master data management (MDM) strategies, and data lineage documentation in partnership with Data Engineering and BI teams.

Enable secure, governed access to HR data for analytics (Power BI, Oracle Analytics).

Define and enforce HR data contracts, quality standards, and privacy controls across all systems and integration points.

Serve as the primary technical advisor to HR leadership, Product Owners, and IT on HR technology architecture, AI strategy, and platform decisions.

Translate complex architecture and AI concepts into clear business outcomes tied to KPIs and strategic priorities.

Provide technical guidance on vendor selection and partnership for Oracle, ServiceNow, Eightfold, and integration tooling.

Collaborate with HR Centers of Excellence (Talent Acquisition, L&D, Total Rewards) to embed AI capabilities within HR programs.

10–12 years of progressive experience in HR technology and enterprise systems architecture.

Must be available to work full U.S. Eastern Time (EST) hours each day.

Deep expertise in Oracle HCM Cloud, including integrations, HCM Extracts, Security, and configuration across at least three functional modules.

Proven experience with Boomi or a similar enterprise integration platform (Dell Boomi preferred), including building and supporting production integrations.

Strong understanding of integration patterns, including REST and SOAP APIs, event-driven architecture, synchronous and asynchronous processing, and data transformation.

Demonstrated success designing and deploying AI/ML and automation solutions within HR or other enterprise business systems.

Experience delivering AI/ML and automation solutions within HR systems.

Experience with digital assistants or AI-driven employee experience platforms is a plus.

Experience with ServiceNow HRSD, including case management, virtual agent, and HR service delivery configuration.

Experience leading or mentoring small technical teams, including integration engineers and developers.

Hands-on experience with Eightfold AI or comparable talent intelligence platforms.

Experience with LMS platform architecture (e.g., Absorb, Cornerstone, or similar).

Background in Agile/SAFe delivery, DevOps practices, and CI/CD for integration pipelines.

Experience with RPA tools (UiPath, Automation Anywhere) and Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC).

Familiarity with Power BI, Oracle Analytics Cloud, or enterprise BI architecture for HR data products.

Knowledge of enterprise AI governance, responsible AI frameworks, and data privacy regulations (GDPR, HIPAA).

In the first 90 days, you will have mapped the current HR architecture landscape, identified integration gaps and technical debt, and proposed a prioritized modernization roadmap. Within the first year, you will have elevated integration maturity toward API-first and reusable services, shipped at least two meaningful AI-powered HR use cases into production, and established architectural standards that guide the broader HR engineering team.
