Build and expose SAP APIs (OData V2/V4 services) for integration with internal and external systems, third-party applications, and Fiori/UI5 apps.
Develop managed and unmanaged RAP (RESTful ABAP Programming Model) business objects, behavior definitions, and implementations following clean core principles.
Implement CDS Views (Core Data Services) with appropriate annotations for OData exposure, analytics, and RAP-based transactional apps.
Collaborate with functional consultants and integration teams to design end-to-end API strategies for SAP-to-SAP and SAP-to-non-SAP integrations.
Support and contribute to SAP BTP-based extension projects (e.g., side-by-side extensibility, CAP model basics, integration with SAP Integration Suite, or BTP ABAP Environment/Steampunk) as needed.
Perform code reviews, unit testing, and performance tuning to ensure high-quality, scalable, and maintainable code.
Participate in requirement gathering, technical design, and documentation for development objects.
Troubleshoot and resolve production issues related to APIs, OData services, and custom developments.
Ensure adherence to ABAP development standards, clean core methodology, and SAP best practices.
Familiarity with SAP Gateway, API Management, and integration technologies (IDocs, RFCs, Web Services, REST/SOAP).
Understanding of SAP S/4HANA architecture and clean core extensibility principles.
Experience with Git-based version control, ADT (ABAP Development Tools in Eclipse), and Agile/Scrum delivery methods is a plus.
