Principal Software Architect for SAP

As Principal Architect for the SAP AI Partnership, you own the technical architecture and operational integrity of the Tricentis ↔ SAP integration that powers SAP-channel distribution of Tricentis products. You're the principal Tricentis-side counterpart to SAP's Engineering & Architects team and SAP's Partner Co-Innovation Management organization, jointly responsible for the contract surface between the two platforms.

Why it matters

The SAP partnership is strategically critical to Tricentis. This role isn't just about maintaining today's integration - it's about driving ongoing co-innovation with SAP to expand AI, agentic, and quality capabilities across the channel and grow SAP-sourced business.

Scope

You'll architect across the full SolEx and BTP surface: SAP Cloud ALM (CALM) integrations including patterns comparable to qTest and Quality Agent–driven experiences, Joule expansion, and new solution concepts. Products in scope:

• SAP Enterprise Continuous Testing (ECT) - built on Tosca

• SAP Enterprise Performance Testing (EPT) - built on NeoLoad

• SAP Change Impact Analysis (CIA) - built on SeaLights & LiveCompare

• SAP Joule ↔ Tricentis AI - own the architecture exposing Tricentis AI in Joule (skills, agents, tools, grounding, entitlements), aligned with shared provisioning/metering/qualification models

Why your decisions matter

Choices about schemas, identifiers, provisioning sequences, metering granularity, and certificate lifecycles directly affect SAP's ability to sell, qualify, support, and bill these products — and therefore the joint customer experience and the partnership itself. These decisions are commercial, not just technical.

Why this role exists

The SAP-channel offering spans an unusually large number of system boundaries with no single accountable architect today. You'll fill that gap: defining, documenting, operating, and continuously hardening the end-to-end flow, and serving as SAP's single technical point of contact on architecture, schema, certificates, billing, qualification, and onboarding.

Where you'll operate

You'll sit at the seam between engineering, business intelligence, product management, finance, and an external strategic partner — equally comfortable writing a JSON schema, reviewing an mTLS certificate exchange, debating Cloud Events payload structure with SAP, or explaining BTPAE credits (SAP-side customer purchase), AI Units (SAP-facing billing currency), and AI Credits (Tricentis-side internal currency) to executives on both sides.

What you'll lead

End-to-end SAP/Tricentis AI integration architecture

• Own the reference architecture for AI expansion, agentic AI development support, and the flows connecting Tricentis products to SAP's channel, qualification, and billing models

• Own the reference architecture for AI provisioning and metering; define and version the contract with SAP Unified Metering

• Own implementation and operational health of webhooks for the CBC feature

• Resolve tenant-model edge cases that standard architecture can't handle

• Maintain architectural coherence across the SolEx product family

• Own the SAP Joule ↔ Tricentis AI architecture end-to-end

• Shape CALM integration patterns for Tricentis quality capabilities

• Drive agentic AI architecture on the SAP channel

SAP co-innovation partnership

• Translate roadmap ambition into architectures SAP can qualify, sell, and support

• Act as principal technical contact for SAP Partner Co-Innovation Management and SAP AI Engineering & Architects - mirroring their cadence, terminology, and documentation standards

• Coordinate with SAP on BTP services used by the integration (AI Core, Generative AI Hub, Integration Suite, Unified Metering)

• Resolve cross-company technical issues at the architect layer: schema validation, certificate/endpoint mismatches, access onboarding, cloud-provider selection, customer-mapping disputes

• Maintain bidirectional Tricentis ↔ SAP technical documentation that survives turnover on either side

• Propose and socialize new SAP-solution concepts that expand Tricentis's footprint, not just maintain existing paths

What you bring

• 10+ years in platform integration architecture, including a role bridging two enterprise vendors or operating at a hyperscaler partner-engineering boundary, with authority to make binding (not just advisory) architectural decisions

• Working knowledge of SAP's SolEx program - qualification standards, joint roadmap mechanics, co-branding/resale implications - and instinct for when a decision turns commercial

• Working knowledge of SAP BTP (account hierarchy, AI Core tenancy, Integration Suite, private-cloud/FedRAMP patterns)

• Direct experience with a provider-side metering/entitlement stack (SAP Unified Metering, AWS/Azure/GCP marketplace metering, Stripe Billing, or similar), reconciling usage across multiple billing currencies

• Hands-on webhook experience: mTLS authentication, certificate lifecycle, Cloud Events, strict JSON schema validation

• Agentic AI development skills: tool/skill interfaces, orchestration and grounding patterns, entitlement-aware agent context, and how agentic workloads connect to metering and qualification

• Strong, precise written English for high-stakes, multi-party cross-company communication

Success criteria

• Monthly SAP AI usage reporting runs reliably without routine human involvement

• New SAP-channel customers onboard end-to-end without Engineering escalation, with decreasing architect intervention over time, including non-standard tenants

• Tricentis ↔ SAP technical issues resolve at the architect layer instead of escalating to executives

• SolEx premium-qualification posture maintained for ECT, EPT, and CIA yearly and at every major release, with zero regressions from architectural drift

• At least one new SAP-channel solution concept defined per year that SAP can take through qualification and roadmap planning

• Engineering, BI, PMO, Finance, and Sales Ops have a single canonical reference architecture and point of contact
