Role Summary :

This role will support the development of ReleaseOwl capabilities around template protection, transport governance, and cross-version migration automation in SAP landscapes.

• Analyze dumps, logs and traces and provide clear, well documented fixes.
• Perform unit testing and support automated testing using ATC and related tools.
• Analyze and optimize performance issues related to database access, buffer usage and parallel processing.
• Fix defects and support production issues in coordination with the product and support teams.

Collaboration and Documentation

• Work closely with the ABAP Architect to understand technical designs and contribute implementation level suggestions.
• Collaborate with UI, integration and platform teams to deliver end to end features.
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation such as program specs, interface descriptions and configuration notes.
• Participate in code reviews and knowledge sharing sessions within the team, especially around debugging approaches and lessons learned.

Required Skills and Experience

·      5–6 years of strong ABAP development experience in SAP ECC and S/4HANA environments

·      Hands-on experience with SAP transport management, retrofit, version comparison, object dependency analysis, and release governance

·      Strong understanding of SAP repository objects, enhancement frameworks, DDIC objects, classes, programs, function modules, and configuration-linked transports

·      Experience working on cross-release upgrade or migration scenarios, ideally involving S/4HANA version changes and object compatibility assessment

·      Familiarity with custom development protection, template governance, transport controls, and conflict identification across landscapes

·      Ability to work on technical design, object comparison logic, metadata interpretation, automation rules, and migration support utilities

·      Good exposure to APIs, integration-based tooling, and product/engineering collaboration for enterprise DevOps or release automation platforms
