Key Responsibilities

• Design & Architecture

You define and own the technical architecture for ABAP Cloud solutions on SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud and SAP BTP (In-App & Side-by-Side extensions). You will design domain models, service interfaces and APIs using RAP, CDS, OData V2/V4 and RESTful services, aligned with clean-core principles.

• Implementation & Integration

You will lead the development of cloud-native ABAP applications and extensions, including integration with SAP BTP services (e.g. Destination, Event Mesh, API Management, Identity services).

• Quality, Security & Operations

You establish and enforce development standards, best practices and guidelines for ABAP Cloud (performance, security, testability, reusability). The set up and optimization of DevOps / CI/CD pipelines (e.g. gCTS, abapGit, automated testing, code quality checks) and support release and transport strategies in cloud landscapes is one of your core responsibilities.

• Leadership & Collaboration

You provide technical leadership and coaching to ABAP / ABAP Cloud developers, conducting code reviews and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and learning. You work closely with product owners, solution architects, and business experts to translate functional requirements into robust technical designs and implementation plans.

• Innovation & Thought Leadership

You stay up to date with the latest SAP S/4HANA, SAP BTP and ABAP Cloud innovations, evaluate new capabilities, and drive their adoption within the team. You will be contributing to the overall solution roadmap, proposing innovative approaches to modernization, cloud readiness and extensibility.
