This is a business with complex, audited supply chains where traceability, data integrity, and system availability are critical. You’ll join an enterprise SAP team delivering enhancements and integrations across a mature landscape, supporting day-to-day operations while moving the platform forward (including S/4HANA-aligned development standards, cleaner interfaces, improved testing, and performance optimisation). This role suits someone who enjoys hands-on ABAP development, working closely with functional teams, and delivering changes that directly impact warehouse execution, manufacturing, finance, and reporting. What you’ll be doing You’ll work across the full development lifecycle—requirements, build, testing, deployment, and production support. Design, build and enhance solutions using ABAP and ABAP OO (clean architecture, reusable components, robust error handling). Develop and optimise data models: CDS Views, AMDP (where appropriate), performance-aware SQL and buffering strategies. Build integration services and APIs using OData, SAP Gateway, RFC/BAPI, and IDoc-based patterns. Deliver SAP developments aligned to enterprise standards: naming conventions, transport discipline, documentation, and code reviews. Support testing cycles including unit testing, SIT, UAT, regression testing, and performance testing with evidence and traceability. Troubleshoot production incidents: debugging, ST22 dumps, SM21 logs, update failures, background job issues, performance bottlenecks. Partner with functional consultants to shape technical designs for module enhancements and cross-module processes. Produce and maintain technical documentation: specs, interface mappings, operational runbooks, and support notes aligned to audit expectations. Participate in release management and controlled deployments (transports, cutover tasks, hypercare support). This is a modern SAP environment where classic ABAP skills matter but newer standards are valued. SAP development tooling: SE80, ADT/Eclipse (preferred), transport management basics Strong Open SQL knowledge and performance awareness Integration fundamentals: IDoc, RFC, BAPI, file-based interfaces Experience working in structured delivery environments (change control, testing discipline, releases) S/4HANA exposure (compatibility mindset, simplification impacts, performance considerations) CDS Views, OData services, SAP Gateway RAP and/or CAP awareness; ABAP Cloud principles Forms: SmartForms, Adobe Forms, and output management concepts Workflow/automation: SAP Business Workflow, background jobs (SM36/SM37) Performance and admin tooling: ST05, SAT, SQLM, SM50/SM66, SM12 locks, SPAU/SPDD SAP integration middleware awareness: PI/PO, CPI, BTP Integration Suite Security basics: roles/authorisations, audit considerations, secure coding practices The SAP landscape supports regulated, high-volume operational processes, often across: MM (procurement, inventory, batch-managed materials) SD (order management, delivery, billing, pricing routines) PP (production orders, confirmations, BOMs, batch traceability) WM/EWM (warehouse processes, picking/packing/shipping) FI/CO (postings, reconciliation, month-end support, cost allocations) Reporting and analytics feeds to downstream systems (You don’t need deep functional consulting experience, strong collaboration with functional teams is the key.) You’ll take ownership of core ABAP components and become a trusted point for solution design and production troubleshooting. You’ll deliver enhancements with strong quality outcomes (lower defects, smoother releases, clearer documentation). You’ll improve performance and stability in at least one high-usage process (e.g. order-to-cash, warehouse interface, batch trace reporting). You’ll contribute to the S/4HANA-aligned roadmap by improving interfaces, adopting modern patterns, and reducing technical debt. Strong commercial experience as a SAP ABAP Developer in enterprise SAP environments Confidence working with stakeholders to clarify requirements and translate into robust technical designs Strong debugging and incident resolution skills with a root-cause mindset A quality-led approach: clean code, documentation, transport discipline, and testing evidence Comfortable in hybrid delivery teams (internal, partner, and third-party suppliers) #J-18808-Ljbffr
