• Translate business and functional requirements into scalable SAP technical solutions, with a strong focus on SAP SD processes.
• Design and maintain reliable SAP data extraction and integration pipelines using technologies such as ODP, CDS Views, and OData, and leverage Data Sphere as an endpoint or intermediary.
• Assist SAP data integration with the broader data platform, including SAP Datasphere and cloud-based data environments.
• Partner with SAP functional consultants, data engineering teams, business stakeholders, and external SAP partners to deliver solutions and resolve complex issues.
• Take ownership of SAP technical problems, document solutions, and help build in-house SAP capabilities while reducing reliance on external partners.

You might be a strong candidate if you have/are:

• 4+ years of hands-on SAP ABAP development experience.
• Strong knowledge of ABAP programming and SAP development practices.

• Experience working with SAP interfaces and integrations with external systems.
• Exposure to SAP Datasphere or similar SAP data/integration technologies is highly desirable.
• Strong SQL skills and good understanding of data engineering concepts.
• Experience with Python and/or cloud data platforms is a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to independently investigate complex SAP issues.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively across technical and business teams.
• Good to have:
• Experience with SAP S/4HANA RISE.
• Experience with SAP BW/4HANA, SAP Data Services (BODS), or SAP BTP.
