Job Title : Oracle Cloud HCM Integrations Developer
Location : Hybrid Wilmington, MA is preferred. 3 days onsite
Duration : 6+ Months Contract
Job Description :
Ideally someone who doesn't need to give a 2 weeks' notice. They need these people to start in like a week and a half
NEED SOMEONE HERE THAT CAN HEAVILY LEVERAGE AI and has worked with Claude. Someone that is more legacy will not work out well here.
We're looking for a hands-on integration builder, not a configurator, with 8+ years of Oracle Cloud HCM integration experience. This person will design, develop, and deploy inbound / outbound integrations using HCM Extracts, HDL / HSDL, BI Publisher, OIC, and REST / SOAP APIs as part of a broader enterprise HCM initiative.
What makes this role different from a typical Oracle HCM posting :
- We require demonstrated proficiency with the AI-assisted development tool, Claude. This is non-negotiable, we're building integrations at 2-3x traditional velocity and need someone who operates at that pace.
- The candidate must be able to write XSLT, debug HDL load errors, and build OIC orchestrations, not just talk about them.
Strong automation mindset, scripting, automated testing, self-documenting integrations
Can the candidate name specific HCM Extracts and HDL integrations they personally built (not team projects they observed)? Ask them to describe one end-to-end.Can they explain the Oracle HCM data model, Person, Work Relationship, Assignment hierarchy, without hesitation?Have they used AI-assisted development tools (Claude, Copilot, Cursor, etc.) in their integration work? Ask for a specific example with measurable impact. "I've heard of it" is not sufficient.Can they write or talk through XSLT, Groovy, or SQL relevant to HCM integrations on the spot?Do they have hands-on OIC orchestration experience, not just connection setup, but end-to-end flows with error handling?Role Summary :
We're looking for a hands-on integration builder, not a configurator, with 8+ years of Oracle Cloud HCM integration experience. This person will design, develop, and deploy inbound / outbound integrations using HCM Extracts, HDL / HSDL, BI Publisher, OIC, and REST / SOAP APIs as part of a broader enterprise HCM initiative.
Core Responsibilities
1. Integration Design & Architecture
Partner with business systems analysts to translate functional requirements, data mappings, and integration use cases into scalable technical designs.Architect inbound and outbound integration patterns using Oracle-native and hybrid approaches, HCM Extracts, HDL / HSDL, REST / SOAP APIs, FBDI, file-based integrations, and event-driven (Business Events / webhook) patterns .Author comprehensive Technical Design Documents with data lineage diagrams, error-handling matrices, volumetric analysis, and SLA definitions.Evaluate and recommend patterns based on data volume, latency requirements, and security constraints (real-time vs. batch vs. near-real-time).Design for idempotency, retry logic, and graceful degradation , every integration must be resilient by default.2. Integration Development & Build
Develop HCM Extracts (BIP-based and fast formula driven) with optimized SQL and delivery configurations.Configure BI Publisher templates for outbound file generation, CSV, XML, fixed-width, with dynamic parameter-driven formatting.Build inbound data loads using HDL / HSDL with pre-validation logic, transformation layers, and automated error capture.Develop integration orchestrations in Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) Gen 2 / 3 or equivalent middleware, connections, mapping, error handling, and scheduling.Implement robust transformation and validation logic (cross-field validation, referential integrity checks, business rule enforcement) before data hits HCM, shift-left on data quality.Configure encryption (PGP / GPG), compression, SFTP delivery, and content-server staging with automated file-naming conventions.Build Business Events subscribers for real-time integration triggers (new hire, termination, job change events).3. AI-Accelerated Development & Automation (New, Critical)
Leverage AI-assisted coding tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent) to accelerate XSLT / XSL-FO template development, Groovy scripting in OIC, and HDL file generation, achieving 2 3 velocity without sacrificing correctness.Use AI to auto-generate unit test payloads , edge-case HDL files, and regression test datasets from existing data dictionaries and mapping specs.Apply AI for rapid TDD / runbook authoring , draft technical design documents, error-handling procedures, and handover documentation from integration specifications with human review and refinement.Build or adopt automated validation frameworks , AI-powered log parsers that triage HDL load errors, extract failures, and ESS job exceptions, surfacing root causes in minutes rather than hours.Develop self-documenting integrations , automated generation of data flow diagrams, field mapping matrices, and change-impact summaries from code / configuration artifacts.Create intelligent monitoring dashboards with anomaly detection for integration health, volume drift, timing anomalies, error rate spikes, not just reactive alert-and-fix.Automate release note generation and commit message standardization for integration deployments.4. Testing & Quality Assurance
Perform thorough unit testing with positive, negative, boundary, and volumetric test scenarios.Support SIT and UAT cycles in close coordination with HCM functional and technical teams.Build automated regression test suites for critical integrations, every deployment runs against a known-good baseline.Validate data integrity end-to-end : source system transformation HCM staging HCM tables downstream consumers.5. Troubleshooting & Production Support
Diagnose HDL load errors (entity-level, attribute-level, referential) using import process logs, HCM Data Loader monitoring, and UCM content inspection.Troubleshoot HCM Extract failures, ESS job errors, BIP template issues, delivery channel failures, data-driven exceptions.Support defect triage with root-cause analysis discipline, distinguish data issues from configuration issues from platform issues.Automate recurring triage patterns , if you're solving the same category of issue three times, build a script or runbook that eliminates it permanently.6. Compliance, Audit & Security
Ensure integrations meet SOX, GDPR, HIPAA, and internal audit standards, data masking, access controls, encryption at rest and in transit.Maintain audit trail evidence : integration run logs, data transformation records, error resolution documentation.Support audit evidence requests with pre-built, queryable integration audit packages , always audit-ready.Implement data classification awareness in integration design, PII, PHI, and sensitive compensation data must have explicit handling protocols.7. Cutover, Hypercare & Knowledge Transfer
Execute cutover integration runs with documented rollback procedures.Support hypercare-phase issue resolution with defined escalation paths and SLA-driven response.Provide structured knowledge transfer, recorded walkthroughs, decision trees, and operational runbooks.Deliver comprehensive handover documentation : architecture diagrams, operational procedures, error-handling guides, and dependency maps.8. Cross-Functional Collaboration
HCM Functional & Technical Consultants , requirements alignment, data model validation, configuration dependenciesSecurity & Identity Teams , SSO, role-based access, encryption standards, certificate managementMiddleware / Integration Teams , OIC orchestration, API gateway policies, credential rotationPMO & Release Management , deployment scheduling, change management, release readinessData & Analytics Teams , data warehouse feed design, OTBI / BIP reporting alignment, data lake ingestion patternsKey Skills & Qualifications

You treat every manual process as a bug to be fixed, if it can be automated, you automate it.You've used AI tools to cut a 3-day integration build to 1 day and can articulate exactly how.You build integrations that operators can support without calling you, self-documenting, well-logged, clearly error messaged.You think in data flows, not just file transfers, understanding upstream and downstream impact of every field you move.You've been through at least one major Oracle Cloud HCM implementation or upgrade cycle end-to-end.You can explain a complex integration architecture to both a developer and a VP in the same meeting.This role is designed for someone who combines deep Oracle HCM integration expertise with a modern, AI-augmented engineering mindset, delivering enterprise-grade integrations at startup speed.
