Job Summary
We are seeking a highly skilled SAP ABAP on HANA Developer to design, build, and optimize high-performance programmatic customizations across our enterprise footprint. The ideal candidate will excel at code pushing techniques, shifting processor-heavy application calculations directly down into the database layer via Core Data Services (CDS), AMDP, and modern cloud-ready ABAP development models.
Key Responsibilities
Design and develop high-performance custom programmatic objects (RICEFW) using modern ABAP statements, programming models (RAP/BOPF), and object-oriented patterns (OO-ABAP).
Execute advanced code pushing techniques, constructing complex Core Data Services (CDS) views, associations, table functions, and authorization frameworks.
Write optimized data processing routines via ABAP Managed Database Procedures (AMDP), custom SQL Scripting, and open SQL formulations.
Expose backend database calculations to responsive user interfaces, building transactional, analytical, and search-driven OData services.
Perform database optimization code remediation, auditing legacy custom objects via Runtime Analysis (SAT), Code Inspector (SCI), and ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) to resolve HANA runtime bottlenecks.
Implement secure enhancement extensions, configuring custom logic hooks using business add-ins (BAdIs), enhancement spots, customer exits, and implicit options.
Build modern integration endpoints, constructing custom data serialization loops using Apex/JSON formats, ALE/IDocs, RFC blocks, and Web Services APIs.
Requirements
4 to 8 years of core SAP backend engineering experience, with 4+ dedicated years writing technical custom logic and 2+ years working explicitly inside SAP HANA environments.
Strong technical mastery of OO-ABAP, CDS views, AMDP scripts, OData protocol mapping, and database access performance tracking.
Deep structural understanding of standard database index tables (e.g., ACDOCA, MATDOC), functional cloud pipelines, and memory constraints.
Mandatory certification: SAP Certified Development Associate - ABAP with SAP NetWeaver OR ABAP Cloud.
Preferred Qualifications
Prior implementation background utilizing the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP) or Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP).
Experience writing custom logic layers for modern integration infrastructures like SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).
