As a SAP Technical Lead, you will be responsible for designing, building, and exposing robust, secure, and scalable SAP APIs (OData v2/v4, RESTful APIs, SOAP, RFCs, and BAPIs) to support seamless integration with external applications.

Responsibilities:

• API Development & Integration: Design, build, and expose robust, secure, and scalable SAP APIs (OData v2/v4, RESTful APIs, SOAP, RFCs, and BAPIs) to support seamless integration with external applications.
• BTP Extension Development: Develop side-by-side and on-stack extensions on SAP BTP (using the SAP BTP ABAP Environment / Steampunk) to keep the core S/4HANA ERP clean.
• Modern ABAP Development: Write clean, optimized, and modern Object-Oriented ABAP (OO-ABAP) code. Develop business objects and services using RAP (ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model).
• Data Modeling: Create and optimize complex Core Data Services (CDS) Views, Table Functions, and AMDP (ABAP Managed Database Procedures) on SAP HANA.
• Collaboration: Partner closely with middleware teams (SAP Integration Suite / CPI), frontend developers (SAPUI5/Fiori), and business analysts to translate functional integration requirements into technical designs.
• Testing & Code Quality: Write automated unit tests using the ABAP Unit Testing framework to ensure high code quality, reliability, and regression protection.
• Performance Tuning: Analyze and resolve performance bottlenecks in custom ABAP code, database queries, and API payloads.

Qualifications:

• Overall Experience: Minimum 8+ years of hands-on experience in SAP ABAP development, with a strong evolution from legacy SAP ERP (ECC) to modern S/4HANA environments.
• RAP Expertise: Proven, hands-on project experience implementing business objects and services using the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP) (both managed and unmanaged scenarios).
• SAP BTP Exposure: Strong working knowledge of SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) extension concepts, including BTP ABAP Environment (Steampunk), SAP Integration Suite, or SAP Business Application Studio (BAS).
• Advanced S/4HANA Concepts: Deep expertise in CDS Views, AMDP, Eclipse ADT, and S/4HANA Extensibility (In-App and Side-by-Side).
• Integration Technologies: Extensive experience with OData (v2 & v4), RFCs, BAPIs, ALE/IDocs, and consuming/exposing RESTful APIs.
• Development Tools: Expert-level mastery of ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse.

Preferred Qualifications:

• SAP Certified Development Specialist - ABAP for SAP HANA or SAP Certified Development Associate - ABAP with SAP BTP.
• Experience with SAP CAP (Cloud Application Programming Model) using Node.js or Java.
• Familiarity with modern developer productivity tools, such as using AI assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor) inside VS Code with Model Context Protocol (MCP) for SAP ADT.
• Experience with SAP Event Mesh or event-driven architecture.
