The posting

Innovation is and will always be the core of SAP Fioneer, and it is the promise of why we were spun out of SAP: agility, innovation, and delivery.

SAP Fioneer builds on a heritage of outstanding technology and a deep understanding of corporate and consumer demands. At the heart of it all it is simple: We bring financial services to the next level with innovative software solutions and platforms.

We are helping companies in the financial services industry to achieve speed, scalability, and cost-efficiency through digital business innovation, cloud technology, and solutions that cover banking and insurance processes end-to-end.

A global company, with rapid growth, innovative people, and a lean organization makes SAP Fioneer a place where you accelerate your future!

About role

As a Lead SAP ABAP Engineer you will drive the backend architecture and delivery of our cloud-based SaaS platform built on S/4HANA and SAP BTP technologies. You will design, develop and maintain scalable, secure, high-performance components, own technical decisions, and ensure clean‑core, upgrade‑safe extensibility across our Fioneer solutions. In this role you will lead and mentor a small team of ABAP engineers, collaborate closely with product owners, UX/Fiori leads and cross-functional stakeholders, and translate business needs into robust backend APIs, CDS/OData services and integration patterns.

If you enjoy solving complex technical challenges, shaping architecture, and growing engineering talent while contributing to a next‑generation SaaS platform, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

  • Design, own and govern the architecture of scalable, secure backend components for innovative lending solutions built on ABAP and related SAP technologies.
  • Define technical direction, coding standards, and best practices; drive adoption of clean‑core, upgrade‑safe extension patterns across teams.
  • Lead implementation efforts, review designs and code, and ensure delivery of high‑quality standard software in an agile environment while collaborating with internal stakeholders, customers and partners.
  • Partner strategically with front‑end developers, designers, and product owners to define end‑to‑end solutions, APIs (CDS/OData) and integration patterns.
  • Diagnose, prioritize and resolve complex technical issues; coordinate incident response and post‑mortem actions to prevent recurrence.
  • Ensure engineering excellence through structured testing strategies (unit, integration, UAT support), CI/CD pipelines, automated quality checks, performance tuning and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Mentor and grow ABAP engineers: conduct code reviews, provide technical coaching, run knowledge‑sharing sessions and support career development.
  • Create, maintain and approve comprehensive technical documentation, runbooks and architectural artefacts.
  • Drive platform readiness for cloud deployments, oversee security, observability and governance, and lead upgrade/migration planning.
  • Stay current with innovations in S/4HANA, RAP and SAP BTP and evaluate their adoption to advance the platform roadmap.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in ABAP object-oriented development, with substantial hands‑on work on S/4HANA (experience in the financial sector is a plus).
  • Proven track record (3+ years) leading and mentoring engineering teams, driving technical decisions and delivery in enterprise SAP projects.
  • Deep proficiency in OData, Core Data Services (CDS), and ABAP RESTful Application Programming (RAP).
  • Practical experience with SAP BTP (services, deployment approaches, integration concepts) and cloud readiness for enterprise solutions.
  • Strong architecture and design skills: defining extension patterns, clean‑core strategies, multi‑tenant SaaS considerations, and upgrade‑safe solutions.
  • Experience with CI/CD for ABAP, automated testing strategies, performance tuning, observability, and operational readiness.
  • Familiarity with modern SAP development tools (Business Application Studio, Eclipse, or Visual Studio Code).
  • Excellent problem‑solving and decision‑making skills; ability to break down technical complexity and balance risks.
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills; experienced collaborating with product, UX/Fiori, DevOps and business teams.
  • Fluent in English.

Nice-to-have

  • Certification in S/4HANA, SAP BTP, or related SAP technologies.
  • Domain experience with banking products and processes (e.g., retail lending, regulatory reporting).
  • Full‑stack experience with SAP UI5/Fiori or close collaboration history with UI leads.
  • Hands‑on experience with SAP HANA (AMDP, performance modeling).
  • Exposure to event‑driven architectures and integration patterns on SAP BTP.
  • Experience working in agile frameworks (Scrum / SAFe) and leading international, cross‑functional teams.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
