Our client, a global leader in SAP change management solutions, is seeking a Mid–Senior ABAP Developer to join their high-performing product engineering team.

• (Senior level) Providing technical guidance and mentoring
• 5+ years ABAP development experience (mid to senior level)
• Strong skills in classical ABAP (reports, enhancements, debugging)
• Experience with ABAP on HANA (CDS views, OData)
• Solid software engineering fundamentals (OO design, clean code)
• Experience across both project delivery and BAU support
• Strong communication and collaborative mindset

⭐ Nice to Have

• RAP, SAP Fiori, or SAP BTP exposure
• SAP DevOps / transport tools experience
• Broader SAP module knowledge (FI/CO, SD, MM)
• Work on a globally used SAP product
• Be part of a technically strong, collaborative team (currently 4 developers)
• Opportunity to influence modernisation and architecture
• Hybrid role with strong in‑office collaboration

If you're passionate about building high‑quality SAP products and want to deepen your expertise in modern ABAP, this is a standout opportunity.

Interested candidates with full Australian working rights are encouraged to apply and join a growing, forward‑thinking team.
