Job ID: JOB_ID_4405
Role Overview:
The Application Integration Solution Architect will be responsible for the design, governance, and strategic direction of system-to-system connectivity across the Novolex application landscape. This pivotal role emphasizes expertise in APIs, event-driven architectures, middleware patterns, and the integration of the Copilot Studio agent layer with enterprise applications and AI capabilities. As Novolex evolves towards an orchestrated, agent-driven enterprise, this architect will ensure all integrations are secure, scalable, and adhere to the established platform strategy.
Business Need & Strategic Drivers:
- 9+ Enterprise Platforms Requiring Integration: Novolex operates a complex application ecosystem including multiple SAP versions, Blue Yonder, Snowflake, Workday (HR), ServiceNow (workflow/tickets), Syndigo, Alation, Automation Anywhere (AP only), and the Microsoft ecosystem (Copilot Studio, Fabric, Azure AI Foundry). Each platform possesses unique API patterns, authentication models, and event mechanisms. A dedicated application integration architect is crucial for designing coherent and efficient connectivity across this diverse landscape.
- Copilot Studio as the Agent Orchestration Layer: Microsoft Copilot Studio serves as the primary platform for building AI agents. These agents require real-time API access to systems such as SAP, ServiceNow, Workday, and others. Designing the connector architecture, API abstraction layers, and the security model for agent-to-system communication demands deep integration expertise that extends beyond individual project teams.
- Legacy SAP Bridge Patterns: With Joule AI not available on ECC instances, the integration pattern combining Copilot Studio, SAP RFC/API, and Fabric is essential for extending AI capabilities to legacy systems. This complex pattern necessitates the design of an API gateway, robust RFC connector management, and comprehensive error handling that can be architected once and reused across various use cases.
- Automation Anywhere Scoping Discipline: Automation Anywhere is specifically scoped for Accounts Payable (AP) workflows, including T&E Risk Scoring, PCard Monitoring, Invoice Triage, and Vendor Statements. The application integration architect will ensure that AA integrations remain strictly within this defined scope and that broader automation needs are addressed through Copilot Studio, Power Automate, and native platform capabilities.
- Basware-to-Coupa Transition Management: The ongoing transition from Basware to Coupa presents integration dependency risks for AP automation use cases. An integration architect is required to design migration-resilient integration patterns capable of adapting to changes in the underlying procurement platform.
- ServiceNow & Workday Integration: Both ServiceNow (workflow/ticket automation) and Workday (HR) require bidirectional integration with Copilot Studio to enable agent-driven experiences, such as ticket creation directly from Microsoft Teams or HR self-service agents. These integrations must follow standardized patterns rather than one-off custom builds.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and maintain the enterprise application integration architecture, including API standards, event-driven patterns, and middleware selection.
- Architect the Copilot Studio connector framework for seamless agent-to-system communication across SAP, ServiceNow, Workday, Blue Yonder, and other critical platforms.
- Define and enforce the legacy SAP bridge pattern (Copilot Studio + RFC/API + Fabric) to extend AI capabilities to ECC environments.
- Govern Automation Anywhere integration boundaries, ensuring AP-scoped usage and alignment with the overall platform strategy.
- Design migration-resilient integration patterns to support the Basware-to-Coupa transition and future platform evolution.
- Establish comprehensive API security, authentication, and access governance standards across all integration points.
- Collaborate closely with the AI Architect on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agent-to-agent (A2A) integration patterns.
- Evaluate and recommend integration platform capabilities, including Azure API Management, Logic Apps, Power Automate, and native connectors, based on specific use case requirements.
