The Senior SAP Architect will provide deep technical expertise and hands-on leadership in the design, engineering, and delivery of enterprise-grade SAP products built on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).
Reporting to an Engineering Manager, this role will take ownership of technical workstreams and lead projects from a technical perspective. You will work independently with client stakeholders, make sound technical decisions within the agreed architecture and delivery framework, and collaborate with engineering and practice leadership on broader technical strategy.
The role will focus on the design, development, modernization, integration, and production deployment of Multi-Target Applications (MTAs) using the Cloud Application Programming (CAP) model, ABAP, and other SAP and cloud-native technologies.
You will be expected to remain hands-on throughout the project lifecycle, supporting technical discovery, architecture, development, deployment, go-live, and production stabilization.
Critical to This Role: Technical Engineering Expertise
This is primarily a technical architecture and engineering role.
The Architect must bring deep, hands-on SAP engineering experience, with the ability to:
•
Design, build, deploy, and support production-grade applications on SAP BTP
•
Lead the technical execution of projects from discovery and solution design through development, deployment, and go-live
•
Provide expert guidance on SAP CAP, Node.js, TypeScript, ABAP, integrations, security, data architecture, and DevOps
•
Translate business requirements into secure, scalable, maintainable, and production-ready technical solutions
•
Make day-to-day technical decisions independently and escalate broader strategic or delivery considerations appropriately
•
Work directly with engineering teams to review code, solve complex technical problems, and remove delivery blockers
•
Contribute to engineering standards, reusable patterns, technical guardrails, and development best practices
•
Serve as a trusted technical advisor to client stakeholders, representing the engineering team confidently and without requiring day-to-day supervision
•
Collaborate with the Engineering Manager and practice leadership on technical direction, capability development, and longer-term strategy
We are specifically looking for:
•
A senior technical SAP professional with deep expertise in SAP BTP, CAP, ABAP, and enterprise application delivery
The ideal candidate can take ownership of a technical workstream, guide engineers, contribute hands-on, engage clients independently, and remain accountable for the quality and successful delivery of the solution.
Functional SAP or ERP process knowledge is beneficial, but it is not required. This role is intended for an expert technical architect and engineer, rather than a functional consultant or business-process architect.
Architectural Accountability
You will design, build, and support highly available, secure, scalable, and performant platform components across:
•
TypeScript-based Node.js CAP service architectures
•
Enterprise CDS domain and persistence modeling
•
SAP BTP services, environments, and account structures
•
Multi-Target Application configuration, packaging, and deployment
•
ABAP development, extensibility, integration, and troubleshooting
•
HANA Cloud and PostgreSQL data architecture
•
Identity and Access architecture (XSUAA, IAS/IPS, OAuth 2.0, SAML, JWT)
•
SAP Destination, Connectivity, and Cloud Connector architecture
•
OData, REST, RFC, BAPI, IDoc, and event-driven integrations
•
React-based UI architecture
You will also contribute expertise across:
•
SAPUI5 and Fiori modernization approaches
•
Cloud-native architecture principles (eventing, APIs, microservices, and containerization)
•
End-to-end DevOps architecture, including CI/CD, automated testing, monitoring, and operational readiness
•
Clean-core extension strategies
•
ECC → S/4HANA transition and modernization initiatives
•
Application performance, resilience, scalability, security, and maintainability
You will serve as a senior technical expert and trusted advisor across engineering, product, SAP ABAP teams, client stakeholders, and business teams, working in partnership with the Engineering Manager and practice leadership.
