The SAP ABAP Developer is a hands-on technical role responsible for designing, developing, testing, deploying, and supporting custom SAP solutions across SAP S/4HANA and SAP BTP. This position requires strong, current development expertise in both ABAP and BTP technologies, with the ability to personally architect, write, troubleshoot, optimize, and maintain production-quality solutions.

In addition to hands-on development, this role is responsible for working with and providing technical direction to project teams, functional analysts, business analysts, external consultants, and other technical resources throughout the solution lifecycle. The developer must be able to translate functional and business requirements into sound technical designs, establish development standards and approaches, perform code and design reviews, guide consultants and development resources, and ensure solutions are delivered in accordance with SAP best practices.

The role combines traditional ABAP development for S/4HANA with cloud-native development, extensions, integrations, and services on SAP BTP. The developer is expected to take technical ownership of solutions from requirements through production support, ensuring that applications and integrations are robust, efficient, secure, maintainable, and scalable.
