Job description

At ABB, we help industries run leaner and cleaner—and every person here makes that happen. You’ll be empowered to lead, supported to grow, and proud of the impact we create together. Join us and help run what runs the world.

This Position reports to: IS Manager

In this role, you will build and support the SAP ABAP solutions that run our business as one of the first developers on a new central development team. Each day, you will write production code in SAP ECC and S/4HANA: reports, enhancements, interfaces, forms, and posting logic. You will work directly with the business users who depend on that code. You will also showcase your experience by taking on work across Finance, Logistics, Operations and Sales as priorities shift, and by bringing practical clean core judgment to our S/4HANA journey. You will learn and use the agentic AI development platforms the team is adopting, such as Nova Intelligence and Conduct. In this role, you will report to the ABAP Development Lead, work as an individual contributor, and have no people management responsibilities. The work model for the role is: Hybrid, minimum 3 days per week in the office. This role contributes to the Information Systems Core Business Applications (ERP) team, Electrification business area Installation Products division, in India. Main stakeholders are business users and project leads in Finance, Logistics, Operations, and Sales; the ABAP Development Lead; functional consultants; the SAP BTP and integration teams; and SAP Basis. You will be mainly accountable for:

• Building and finishing: delivering production ABAP in ECC every week, closing your commitments on the date you gave, chasing what is blocked, and following up after go-live until the problem is really solved.
• Bridging to S/4HANA: contributing to S/4HANA Public Cloud stabilization and Private Cloud planning using CDS, RAP and ABAP Cloud, and choosing standard extensibility over classic enhancement where it fits.
• Working directly with the business: sitting with the people who have the problem, understanding the process and configuration behind it, and building what they actually need.
• Working to the team standard: following coding guidelines, ABAP Test Cockpit checks, code review and transport discipline, reviewing colleagues' code, and using AI-assisted development within the team's rules.

Our team dynamics

You will become part of a small, collaborative team where everyone contributes and supports one another. AI is part of how we work, and we will help you get started if you are new to it. Done means it is being used by the business, not just transported, and a straightforward “I don’t know yet” is welcome.

Qualifications For The Role

• You have more than 8 years of SAP development experience, with deep current ABAP knowledge in ECC, including enhancements, IDoc, RFC/BAPI, OData, and REST interfaces, plus performance optimization.
• You show a consistent ability to deliver production outcomes that can be measured, including initiatives that were delayed before you inherited them.
• You have practical SAP S/4HANA experience, including CDS views and a solid understanding of clean core principles.
• You enjoy working directly with business users and understanding the process and configuration behind a requirement, not only the specification.
• You have established skills in working to a shared development standard, including code review, ABAP Test Cockpit, and transport discipline, in onshore/offshore or multi-team environments.
• You are open to AI-assisted development and ready to learn agentic SAP platforms such as Nova Intelligence or Conduct. Prior AI experience.
• You are comfortable using English in both conversation and writing.

What's in it for you?

You will work on code that keeps a global business running and help shape how a new central team builds. You’ll have direct experience with the latest agentic AI tools for SAP development, along with guidance as you learn them. You can grow into a techno-functional or value stream role, or technical leadership, and we will support you on either path.
