Job Summary
We are looking for an SAP ABAP on HANA professional who can build AI-native, HANA-optimized SAP applications and extensions by combining strong ABAP on HANA engineering with Agentic AI patterns such as LLMs, tools, retrieval, and evaluation.
The role focuses on delivering high-performance, cloud-ready, production-grade solutions using HANA pushdown principles, modern ABAP, and governed AI capabilities.
Key Responsibilities
ABAP on HANA Engineering
- Design and develop ABAP solutions optimized for SAP HANA using pushdown principles.
- Build efficient data models and access patterns using CDS views, associations, annotations, and authorization concepts.
- Implement performance-critical logic using AMDP / SQLScript where appropriate.
Modern ABAP Development
- Develop modular, testable, and maintainable ABAP code aligned with clean architecture practices.
- Build services and APIs using modern paradigms such as OData/service exposure patterns.
- Apply secure coding standards and authorization checks.
Data Modeling & Reporting
- Model enterprise business entities using CDS semantics.
- Design reusable data artifacts for UI, integrations, analytics, and AI retrieval layers.

- Build retrieval-grounded outputs over governed SAP data and documentation.
- Implement prompts/templates, tool schemas, and context assembly strategies.
- Apply deterministic fallbacks and enterprise safety boundaries.
Quality Engineering & Evaluation
- Build automated unit, integration, and contract tests for ABAP services and data artifacts.
- Establish evaluation frameworks for AI behaviors using golden datasets and scenario-based tests.
- Implement guardrails such as authorization-aware context filtering, redaction rules, action confirmations, and audit logs.
Observability & Operations
- Implement logs, metrics, and traces for production support and root-cause analysis.
- Design robust error handling including retries, idempotency, correlation IDs, and safe failure modes.
- Support incident response and continuously improve solutions.
Integration & End-to-End Delivery
- Integrate ABAP on HANA services with SAP and non-SAP ecosystems.
- Collaborate with UX, integration, data, and platform teams.
- Prototype and evolve solutions into scalable production systems with security and compliance.
