SAP BTP Track Lead

Key Responsibilities

• 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.
