The work

The SAP ABAP Developer will be responsible for designing, developing, and unit-testing SAP RICEFW deliverables across a complex enterprise environment. This includes building custom reports, interfaces, data conversions, enhancements, forms, workflows, and advanced development artifacts such as CDS views, OData services, and RAP‑based applications. The role requires thorough attention to detail, strong technical expertise, and the ability to translate functional requirements into robust, scalable solutions.

Developers in this position support the full development lifecycle: coding, unit testing, delivering technical documentation, preparing transport materials, resolving defects, and contributing to test phases such as SIT and UAT. They will also participate in cutover smoke testing, production issue triage, and knowledge transfer activities to ensure smooth handoffs and continuity of support.

  • Develop CDS views, OData services, and RAP artifacts following modern SAP development standards
  • Conduct unit testing and deliver complete evidence packages
  • Create and maintain technical specifications, documentation, and transport notes
  • Debug issues and optimize performance across custom developments
  • Support SIT/UAT testing cycles with timely defect resolution
  • Participate in cutover smoke testing and assist in production triage
  • Provide knowledge transfer and support materials for ongoing operations

Here’s what you need:

  • 4+ years of hands-on experience with SAP ABAP and ABAP OO
  • Practical experience in CDS/OData/RAP development
  • Solid understanding of SAP IS‑U processes, tables, and integration touchpoints
  • Ability to debug complex issues and optimize custom code performance
  • Experience supporting conversions, integrations, and cross-system development work

Nice to have:

  • SAP ABAP or SAP development certification
  • Experience with SAP forms technologies (SmartForms, Adobe Forms)
