Own the end-to-end technical design, architecture, and delivery of ABAP on HANA developments on S/4HANA — across RICEFW, custom Fiori applications, and BTP integration scenarios. Lead solution design workshops with client architects and functional consultants; produce HLD, LLD, and technical design documents. Design and develop HANA-optimized ABAP using CDS Views (annotations, associations, table functions), AMDPs, OData services (SEGW and RAP-based), and the RESTful ABAP Programming Model (RAP). Lead the design and development of custom Fiori applications: SAPUI5, Fiori Elements (List Report, Object Page, Overview Page), and the Flexible Programming Model. Fiori Launchpad design, configuration, deployment, and authorizations. End-to-end Fiori app lifecycle — frontend, OData backend, security, and deployment to ABAP/HANA or BTP. Design and deliver BTP-based solutions: Side-by-side and in-app extensions using CAP (Cloud Application Programming Model) on BTP. Integration via SAP Integration Suite (CPI), API Management, Event Mesh. Use of BTP Destination Service, Connectivity Service, XSUAA, and BAS (Business Application Studio). Define and enforce development standards, clean core principles, and SAP''s recommended extensibility approach (key user, developer, and side-by-side). Perform code reviews, design reviews, and performance tuning (SQL Monitor, Runtime Analysis, Code Inspector, ATC) across the delivery team. Lead and mentor a team of ABAP, Fiori, and BTP developers across offshore locations; drive quality gates and delivery standards. Engage with client stakeholders, business analysts, and enterprise architects to gather requirements, resolve escalations, and present technical solutions. Govern the development landscape using CI/CD pipelines, abapGit, Transport Management Service (TMS), and Cloud ALM / Solution Manager. Provide advisory and design authority — review designs, set technical standards, and resolve cross-team escalations. Stay current with SAP''s roadmap (ABAP Cloud / Steampunk, RAP, BTP, Joule, AI Foundation) and proactively recommend adoption of new capabilities.
