S&P Global has recently announced the intent to separate our Mobility Segment into a standalone public company.

We are seeking a Software Engineer specializing in Coupa to design, build, integrate, and support procurement applications that enable efficient sourcing, purchasing, invoicing, and supplier management. You will partner with Procurement, Finance/AP, IT, Security, and external vendors to deliver reliable Coupa configurations, integrations, and enhancements across the procure-to-pay (P2P) lifecycle.

• Configure and enhance Coupa modules (e.g., requisitions/POs, invoicing, supplier management, catalogs, approvals, receiving) to meet evolving business needs.
• Translate business requirements into solution designs
  , technical specifications, and configuration/integration work items.
• Implement and maintain approval workflows, accounting rules, tax/VAT handling (as applicable), tolerances, and controls aligned to policy and audit needs.
• Drive continuous improvement through standardization, reuse of patterns, and automation where possible.

• Build and support integrations between Coupa and enterprise systems such as ERP (SAP/Oracle/Net Suite), HRIS, SSO/IdP, supplier networks, tax engines, and reporting platforms
  .
• Develop and maintain API-based and file-based integrations (inbound/outbound), including transformation/mapping, validation, retries, and error handling.
• Ensure data quality and governance for key objects (suppliers, users, cost centers, GL accounts, items/services, contracts, POs, invoices).

• Own production support for Coupa-related services: triage incidents, perform root cause analysis, implement preventative fixes, and maintain runbooks.
• Monitor integration health and platform jobs, manage releases and regression testing, and coordinate vendor/customer support cases as needed.
• Enforce SDLC best practices: version control, peer review, test coverage, change management, and documentation.

• Implement secure authentication/authorization patterns (SSO, role-based access) and follow least-privilege principles.
• Support audits (SOX or equivalent) by maintaining evidence, controls documentation, and traceability for changes and approvals.
• Partner with Security and Compliance to address risk findings and maintain privacy and data protection standards.

• Act as a technical partner to Procurement and AP teams—understand pain points, propose solutions, and communicate trade-offs clearly.
• Coordinate with cross-functional engineering teams (data, platform, ERP, HRIS) to deliver end-to-end outcomes.

• Hands‑on experience implementing and supporting Coupa in a production environment (configuration and/or technical integration).
• Strong integration engineering skills:
  REST/SOAP APIs
  , SFTP/file interfaces, JSON/XML/CSV, ETL concepts, and data mapping.
• Proficiency in at least one general‑purpose language or scripting environment (e.g.,
  Java, Python, JavaScript/Type Script ) used for middleware, automation, or integration services.
• Experience with common integration platforms/tools (any of):
  Mule Soft, Boomi, Workato, Informatica, Azure Integration Services, AWS integration patterns
  , or equivalent.
• Solid understanding of relational data concepts and querying (e.g.,
  SQL
  ) and comfort troubleshooting data issues end‑to‑end.
• Familiarity with CI/CD, environments, and release processes (e.g., Git-based workflows, automated testing, deployment pipelines).

• Strong understanding of Procure-to-Pay (P2P) business processes: requisitioning, approvals, purchasing, receiving, invoicing, and payment handoffs.
• Knowledge of supplier onboarding, catalogs (hosted/punchout), and invoice matching concepts (2‑way/3‑way match) is strongly preferred.
• Ability to design solutions with auditability, controls, and segregation-of-duties in mind.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent practical…
