In this role, you will transition away from traditional ERP layouts and act as a key driver for our clean core strategy. \n\nYou will design, build, and expose scalable SAP APIs while developing next-generation extensions directly on the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). \n\nThe ideal candidate is an expert in Object-Oriented ABAP (OO-ABAP) who builds application components using the RAP (ABAP RESTful Application Programming) framework and designs high-performance data models directly on SAP HANA.\n\nKey Responsibilities : \n\n1. Modern ABAP & BTP Cloud Development : \n\n- Clean Core Architecture : Develop robust side-by-side and on-stack cloud extensions using the SAP BTP ABAP Environment (Project Steampunk) to keep the S/4HANA core pristine.\n\n- RAP Framework Mastery : Write clean, modular, and optimized OO-ABAP code, building business objects and enterprise services using the modern RAP model.\n\n- Modern Workspace : Conduct all daily development utilizing ADT (ABAP Development Tools) in Eclipse or VS Code rather than legacy SE80 environment tools.\n\n2. API Development & System Integration : \n\n- API Management : Design, expose, and optimize secure, scalable enterprise APIs (OData v2/v4, RESTful JSON APIs, SOAP, RFCs, and BAPIs) for external app consumption.\n\n- Security Protocol Implementation : Apply deep technical understanding of API security frameworks including OAuth, SAML, and API Keys.\n\n- Middleware Sync : Partner with frontend UI5/Fiori developers, business analysts, and middleware infrastructure units (SAP Integration Suite / CPI).\n\n3. Advanced HANA Data Modeling & Quality Assurance : \n\n- HANA Database Design : Create and optimize complex Core Data Services (CDS) Views, Table Functions, and AMDP (ABAP Managed Database Procedures).\n\n- Automated Verification : Take ownership of code stability by writing automated test scripts natively inside the ABAP Unit Testing framework.\n\n- Performance Optimization : Trace and eliminate runtime bottlenecks inside custom ABAP statements, database layer queries, and high-volume API payloads.\n\nSkills & Qualifications : \n\nRequired Technical DNA : \n\n- Core Experience : 6 years of heavy, hands-on development within SAP ABAP environments (with a strong preference for live S/4HANA setups).\n\n- Advanced Frameworks : Deep practical command over OO-ABAP, CDS Views, AMDP, and S/4HANA Enhancement Frameworks (BAdIs, explicit/implicit points).\n\n- API Exposure : Proven background developing OData endpoints via SEGW or RAP models.\n\n- Modern IDE : Daily operational comfort working within Eclipse ADT.\n\nPreferred Qualifications : \n\n- Hands-on experience with SAP Integration Suite (CPI) or SAPUI5/Fiori integrations.\n\n- Familiarity with Agile project environments (Jira/Confluence tracking).\nSkills\nSAP ABAP, SAP Cloud, SAP Integration, SAP BTP, SAP Implementation, S/4 HANA, CDS View, AMDPs, SAP Data Services, SAP ERP, SAP RAP","description_format":"text","description_chars":3287,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T13:06:44Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-09-29T20:00:00Z"}],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/judge-lead-sap-abap-developer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/judge-lead-sap-abap-developer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-30T00:02:50Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4978,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-01T00:00:00Z"}}}
