Role Overview:

We are seeking a skilled ABAP Developer with very good understanding of gCTS (Git-enabled Change and Transport System) to contribute to development, customization, and modern transport management in SAP S/4HANA On-Premise. The candidate will focus on ABAP coding, Git-based transport handling, and DevOps-aligned workflows, supporting seamless change delivery across SAP landscapes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and enhance ABAP programs, CDS Views, OData services, and RAP models.
• Work extensively with gCTS repositories for commits, pushes/pulls, branching, and conflict handling.
• Manage transport sequencing and movement across multi-system landscapes (DEV → QA → Pre-Prod → Prod).
• Collaborate with functional and Basis teams to ensure accurate packaging and movement of changes.
• Maintain code quality through performance tuning, secure coding, and SAP best practices.
• Support integration of gCTS with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tools.

Required Skills:

• 4–7 years of SAP ABAP development experience.
• Strong expertise in gCTS operations (Git commit, push, pull, branching, repository management, conflict resolution).
• Hands-on experience with S/4HANA ABAP (CDS, RAP, OData).
• Familiarity with transport governance concepts (mergable vs. non-mergable objects, sequencing).
• Good knowledge of Git workflows (feature branching, merges, cherry-picks).
• Strong debugging and analytical skills.

Preferred:

• Exposure to DevOps tools integrated with gCTS (Azure DevOps, ReleaseOwl, Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
• SAP Certification in ABAP on S/4HANA.
• Experience working in Agile/DevOps-driven SAP projects.

KPIs / Success Measures:

• Zero untracked transports: All changes managed via gCTS repositories.
• Improved release velocity: Faster movement of transports across landscapes through Git workflows.
• Conflict-free commits: Reduced rework by handling conflicts effectively in gCTS.
• Code quality adherence: Meeting internal ABAP performance, security, and governance standards.
• Seamless integration: Active contribution to CI/CD pipelines and smooth collaboration with DevOps teams.
• Audit readiness: Traceable history of changes, ensuring compliance in audits.
