IDEX•Cedar Falls, IA

11d•Onsite

About The Position

IDEX's Severe Duty Flow Control (SDFC) segment, which includes business units like Viking Pump, Warren Rupp, Abel, and Richter, relies heavily on JD Edwards (JDE) as its enterprise ERP system. This system is crucial for managing product data, pricing, inventory, and order management, with data flowing to customer-facing platforms such as SAP Commerce Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and Brandfolder DAM. The JDE Integration Specialist is responsible for ensuring these integrations function correctly. This role involves designing data flows, developing middleware, monitoring synchronization health, and ensuring clean, consistent, and repeatable integrations, especially when new business units or regional JDE instances (India, China) are onboarded. The specialist acts as the technical owner of the ERP side of the integration stack, collaborating with the Group Platform Manager who oversees the SAP Commerce Cloud side.

Requirements

5+ years of experience working with JD Edwards (JDE), including configuration, customization, or integration development.
Hands-on experience building integrations between JDE and customer-facing platforms (eCommerce, CRM, DAM, analytics).
Deep knowledge of JDE data structures (product, pricing, inventory, sales orders, customers).
Experience with middleware and orchestration tools (Dell Boomi, MuleSoft, custom APIs, or JDE-native orchestration).
Proven track record managing data quality and integration monitoring in a multi-BU or multi-entity ERP environment.
Comfort working with offshore or regional IT teams to standardize processes across geographies.
Technically hands-on: ability to write code, build integrations, and troubleshoot sync failures.
Architecturally rigorous: ability to design scalable flows across multiple BUs and regions.
Data-quality focused: ability to enforce validation at the source and monitor it downstream.
Strong communicator, credible with both IT/ERP teams and business-side platform managers.
Process-oriented: ability to document work and build repeatable patterns.
Proactive problem solver: ability to surface issues before stakeholders notice them.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent professional experience required.
