About the Team

The Finance Platform & Technology team builds and scales the systems and data architecture that power OpenAI’s core financial operations. We enable business agility, compliance, and operational excellence across procure-to-pay, quote-to-cash, supply chain, financial planning, and asset management.

About the Role

As a Business Systems Lead for Procure-to-Pay, you will be a hands-on engineer who designs, builds, and operates the integrations and first-party applications that power OpenAI’s procurement workflows. You will translate business needs into secure, scalable software, APIs, data flows, and automation across Oracle Fusion, Zip, and connected platforms.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate integrations across Oracle Fusion, Zip, and connected systems using APIs, events, messaging, and batch interfaces where appropriate.
• Build first-party procurement applications, backend services, and user-facing workflows that simplify intake, approvals, transaction visibility, and exception resolution.
• Write maintainable code and reusable integration components, with version control, code review, automated tests, and repeatable deployment and rollback practices.
• Define data contracts, mappings, durable identifiers, lifecycle states, and authoritative data ownership so transactions remain accurate and traceable across systems.
• Engineer reliable processing through validation, idempotency, retries, monitoring, alerting, reconciliation, recovery, and readback from the system of record.
• Build and evaluate AI-enabled workflows using OpenAI technology, with scoped tool access, explicit approval boundaries, audit trails, and safe handling of errors or uncertain outputs.
• Make targeted Oracle Fusion and Zip configuration changes that support delivered workflows, such as intake fields, routing, approvals, and supplier settings, in partnership with Procurement, AP, and functional specialists.
• Own technical testing and release readiness, including integration and regression tests, business UAT, migration validation, staged rollout, and operational documentation.
• Own the long-term procurement applications and integrations roadmap, prioritizing reusable capabilities and making clear build-versus-configure decisions with business and engineering partners.
• Own production health and incident resolution, protect access and financial controls, and deliver durable fixes that reduce failed transactions, manual intervention, and procurement cycle time.

Requirements

• Have 6+ years of experience in enterprise integrations, software engineering, or business systems engineering, with substantial hands-on responsibility for building and operating production solutions.
• Can personally write, review, test, and debug production code in a language such as Python or TypeScript, and use SQL to investigate data quality, reconcile systems, and validate outcomes.
• Have hands-on experience integrating with Oracle Fusion and understanding how Procurement and Payables transactions move through its APIs, data models, and interfaces.
• Have designed and shipped APIs, services, or internal applications, and can explain your implementation choices, failure modes, and results in production.
• Understand REST APIs, JSON, authentication and authorization, data modeling, and event-driven or message-based integration patterns.
• Have built and operated integrations using OIC, Workato, or comparable platforms, and can choose when custom code, native APIs, or an integration platform best fits the problem.
• Have owned production troubleshooting and service reliability, including observability, retries, reconciliation, incident response, and safe recovery.
• Understand the P2P lifecycle and how approvals, supplier data, purchase orders, receiving, matching, invoices, and payments affect downstream accounting and controls.
• Can make targeted functional configuration changes and validate their business impact, while partnering with specialists for deeper module design. Experience with Zip is a plus.
• Apply secure engineering and financial-control practices, including least-privilege access, segregation of duties, sensitive-change approvals, and auditable transaction histories.
• Communicate clearly with Procurement, AP, Accounting, Risk, and Engineering, turn ambiguous needs into working software, and bring curiosity about building and evaluating AI-enabled applications.
