Overview

We are looking for an SAP BTP Technical Architect to join our SAP team in London. During your time with us, you will be exposed to a broad and interesting range of projects and support the Head of SAP in RFP, technical challenges, or other demands on the practice/team. As a Tech Lead, you will drive the implementation of innovative solutions that solve complex technical and business problems, ensuring that all architectural best practices are being followed. You will need to have a strong technical background, be able to design app‑level architecture, and have experience leading a team.

Responsibilities

• Define, evaluate, and recommend SAP BTP‑centric solutions for clients across all industry verticals.
• Help define core strategic roadmaps, develop SAP architecture, and provide leadership in the transformation journey.
• Advise or lead a team of onshore architects and consultants in the delivery of identified solutions.
• Support the architects in identifying skills gaps required to grow the practice.
• Manage stakeholders of senior leadership within our clients.
• Define reusable libraries, design patterns, and framework components for project reuse.
• Support performance optimization, scalability, and security audits.
• Provide thought leadership in the architecture, setup, and governance of BTP, entitlements, and services.
• Design microservice‑based, event‑driven architectures using CAP, Kyma, and Event Mesh.
• Define integration patterns using SAP Integration Suite, API Management, and Cloud Connector.
• Support the establishment of CI/CD pipelines, DevOps, and Git‑based deployment strategies for BTP applications.
• Design data persistence models leveraging SAP HANA Cloud and external databases.
• Define and implement clean, modular, and scalable architecture for SAP BTP‑based applications covering UI, business logic, integration, and persistence layers.
• Architect extensibility patterns for S/4HANA Digital Core (in‑app vs. side‑by‑side extensions).
• Lead end‑to‑end solution design across SAP Fiori/UI5, RAP & Non‑SAP, CAP (Node.js/Java, .NET), OData, APIs, and BTP services.
• Lead architecture review boards and enforce solution design governance.
• Lead multi‑layered application development: UI layer (SAP Fiori/UI5, SAP Build, React if hybrid), core layer (CAP or RAP), integration layer (APIs, event handling, messaging via Event Mesh).
• Communicate effectively with business stakeholders, functional leads, and project sponsors to align technical solutions with business goals.
• Document and present architecture artifacts, decision logs, and product/technical roadmaps.
• Mentor colleagues on BTP best practices, design standards, and clean architecture principles.
• Lead Agile/SCRUM/DevOps projects and foster fast‑paced, multi‑project environments.

Qualifications & Skills

• Strong understanding of Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, and SOLID design principles.
• Proven experience in multi‑system integration, event‑driven architecture, and API governance.
• Experience with Domain‑Driven Design (DDD) and service‑oriented patterns.
• Ability to design for extensibility, testability, and maintainability.
• Familiarity with DevOps pipelines, Docker/Kubernetes, and Git‑based workflows.
• Security & compliance knowledge (IAS, XSUAA, OAuth2, JWT, roles/authorization management).
• Strong communication and presentation skills; ability to translate technical concepts into business terms.
• Excellent leadership, stakeholder management, and cross‑functional collaboration.
• Analytical mindset with problem‑solving orientation.
• Comfortable in fast‑paced, multi‑project environments.
