Job description

The Opportunity

RHONDOS PowerConnect is the recognized leader in SAP security and observability — trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises to secure and monitor their most mission-critical systems. PowerConnect is a mature, widely deployed product with a substantial global customer base, and the ABAP at its core has to be world-class: clean, secure, maintainable, and continuously improving.

What You'll Own

ABAP Development & Feature Delivery

You write ABAP code that works — correctly, efficiently, and at a standard the codebase can be proud of. Specifically, you are accountable for:

Delivering new features and enhancements as directed by the product organization, with clean, well-annotated, vulnerability-free code
Applying both functional and object-oriented programming principles with fluency — choosing the right approach for the problem, not the one you happen to be most comfortable with
Writing code that others can read, review, and build on — variable names that mean something, logic that is traceable, and comments that explain intent where the code alone cannot
Ensuring every piece of code you ship is free from security vulnerabilities — this is a non-negotiable on a product trusted by the world's largest organizations to protect their SAP environments

Software Development Lifecycle Ownership

Development does not end when the code compiles. You are expected to own your work through the full SDLC, including:

Writing and maintaining unit tests and contributing to integration testing coverage — quality is your responsibility, not QA's alone
Participating actively in code review — both receiving feedback and providing it for your peers
Contributing to transport management and release packaging, ensuring changes move through development, quality, and production environments cleanly and traceably
Supporting root cause analysis and resolution when defects surface in production — and contributing to the process improvements that prevent them from recurring

Product Support

PowerConnect has a large, active customer base. Support is not a distraction from engineering — it is part of the job:

Providing technical escalation support for complex customer issues that require ABAP-level diagnosis
Translating customer-reported problems into clear, reproducible defects and driving them to resolution with appropriate urgency
Building documentation and tooling that reduces the frequency and cost of escalations over time

Continuous Learning & Technical Growth

The SAP development landscape is evolving — ABAP for Cloud, RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP), ABAP Unit, clean core principles, and AI-assisted development are all changing what good ABAP looks like. You are expected to:

Actively stay current with modern ABAP practices and bring relevant improvements back to the team and the codebase
Contribute to internal knowledge sharing — write-ups, documentation, brief tech talks, or simply being the person on the team who knows the answer
Engage with the broader RHONDOS mission beyond your immediate codebase — understand the product, the customers, and the business context well enough to make better engineering decisions

What Success Looks Like

Dimension - The Standard

Code you ship is clean, annotated, and passes review without significant rework. Vulnerabilities are caught before they reach QA.

Delivery -

Features and fixes land on schedule. Estimates are reliable and you surface blockers early rather than late.

SDLC Contribution -

Tests accompany your code. Transports are clean. You are a constructive voice in code review — both giving and receiving.

Support -

Customer issues you own are diagnosed clearly and resolved with urgency proportionate to severity.

Growth -

You are demonstrably more capable at the end of each year than at the beginning, and the team benefits from that.

What You Bring

Solid, demonstrable proficiency in ABAP — classical and modern language syntax and development principles
Deep proficiency in ABAP Objects: interfaces, inheritance, class-based exceptions, and design patterns such as factory, builder, dispatcher, and task queue
Strong ABAP Dictionary skills: transparent tables, views, data elements, domains, table types, lock objects, and search helps
Hands‑on experience with RFC and parallel processing: asynchronous RFC, task queues and dispatching, enqueue locking and synchronization, background jobs, and shared memory objects
HTTP/REST integration from ABAP and serializing/parsing JSON and XML payloads at high volume
Performance‑minded development for high-volume data extraction: efficient Open SQL, internal table handling at scale, and runtime analysis
Understanding of core computer engineering principles: data structures, algorithmic complexity, modularity, encapsulation, separation of concerns
Experience working across the full SDLC: development, testing, transport management, and production support
Familiarity with SAP security concepts relevant to ABAP development — authorization objects, input validation, injection prevention
Ability to write code that others can read — not just code that runs
Curiosity and the discipline to act on it: you find new techniques and actually apply them

Strong Preference

Experience with modern ABAP practices: RAP, ABAP for Cloud, Clean ABAP guidelines, or ABAP Unit testing frameworks
Familiarity with SAP observability, monitoring, or security tooling (SAP Solution Manager, SIEM integration, Splunk or Dynatrace connectors)
Experience in a product company — software you built is running in production at customers you care about
Exposure to DevOps or CI/CD practices in a SAP context
Experience with AI‑assisted development tooling and a genuine opinion on how to use it well
Working knowledge of observability protocols and platforms: Splunk (HTTP Event Collector, REST API, metrics), Dynatrace, Elastic or OCI Logging
Experience querying and monitoring SAP HANA via ADBC / native SQL
Familiarity with SAP integration and replication technologies: SAP Gateway and OData (V2/V4), SLT/LTRC, IDoc/ALE, AIF

What You're Not Accountable For

Product direction and roadmap prioritization — the what and why are a product and leadership conversation. Your job is to execute those decisions at a high standard and bring technical insight to the conversation, not make the final call
Architecture and security posture decisions that carry company‑level risk — those surface to senior engineering leadership with your analysis and a recommendation. You own the implementation once direction is set
Commercial outcomes — sales and customer success own the quality of the product that makes retention and growth possible
