You are:

A transformation expert adept with the skills to help clientsmeet the challenges of digitization. You’re in your element using your know-how to solve clients’ most complex business problems to help their companies do more. You’re as comfortable working in teams and leading projects as you are diving into the details of workstreams and configuring SAP systems. And you’re up for traveling regularly to client sites.

Role Overview:

As a Senior Technical Architect specializing in SAP Platforms & Integration, you bring extensive experience in designing, governing, and delivering complex SAP-centric enterprise architectures. You serve as an architecture authority, setting technical standards, making pivotal design decisions, and guiding delivery teams through multifaceted technical landscapes. Your mandate is to define solutions that are not only scalable and secure but also future-ready, aligning with business strategies and SAP’s Clean Core and cloud-first principles.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architectural Ownership: Lead the end-to-end technical architecture for SAP programs that span multiple technologies and platforms.

• Standards & Governance: Establish architectural standards, principles, and guardrails; ensure strict adherence across all delivery teams.
• Technology Evaluation: Assess and select technologies, frameworks, and tools based on performance, security, scalability, and maintainability.
• Landscape Design: Design SAP landscapes for development, testing, production, high availability, and disaster recovery.
• Architectural Governance: Provide oversight through design reviews, technical decision forums, and quality gates to maintain architectural integrity.
• Collaboration: Work closely with security, infrastructure, and data teams to ensure holistic architectural alignment.
• Solution Support: Support solution design in early phases, including feasibility studies, proof-of-concepts, and architecture validation.

• SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP)
• ABAP and ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP)
