Job description

TL;DR: We're looking for exceptional ABAP engineers eager to build the AI layer for operating the world’s most complex IT setups. This role moves beyond just ABAP: you’ll develop software across the stack, design AI harnesses and agents, influence product direction, and work with customers.

Why Conduct

Today, no single person fully understands their ERP setup: decades of customisation, millions of lines of ABAP, and undocumented changes from thousands of consultants has led to spiralling complexity. As a result, projects take years and migrations costs hundreds of millions.

Conduct lets IT teams run faster. Teams collaborate alongside AI agents to accelerate their work, be it fit-gap analyses, hypercare support, deciphering business processes, writing ABAP, and more.

We believe this is a generation-defining mission: by accelerating IT, businesses can evolve faster, unlocking productivity across industries. Major enterprises already trust us with their most critical systems, we just closed a $50M+ Series A from top-tier funds, and we're still early enough that what you build here defines the company.

We're a small, talent-dense team doing our life's work at Conduct. We value ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration. If you bring that same drive, we'll make sure this is the place you do yours too.

Who We Hire

We're looking for an developer who understands ABAP inside out, down into implementation and runtime details, and is excited about what becomes possible when you put AI on top of it.

You’ll stand out if you:

• Have 5+ years of hands-on ABAP and SAP development experience: technical consultant, ABAP developer, solutions architect, or similar

• Understand how SAP systems are actually structured beneath the surface: data models, BAPIs, IDocs, function modules, enhancement frameworks

• Have worked within or alongside large SAP implementations and migrations, understanding the complexities that arise from these

• Are eager to work beyond ABAP, including in writing AI agents, backend and frontend, infrastructure, etc.

• Bring strong, pragmatic engineering instincts and care about code that holds up in production at enterprise scale

We hire the best into our team based in NYC, wherever they come from. We believe diverse teams build better products and especially encourage underrepresented groups in tech to reach out.

What You'll Own

We don’t box people by background or role: if you have a strength in an area, we’d love for you to contribute. This means everything from writing developing our connector in ABAP, developing AI agents that execute ABAP development tasks, to contributing to product direction and implementation.

You'll speak to customers, shape product direction, and ship things that run inside some of the most complex enterprise environments in the world. As an SAP specialist you’ll catch the edge cases, constraints, and quirks that only someone with that experience would spot.

Our Stack

Our stack prioritises what matters: shipping to customers—fast—without compromising on quality and engineering.

Fundamentals are more important to us than familiarity with any technology or tool: if you're strong, we’re sure you'll pick it up fast. Here’s our setup:

• ABAP: Custom reports to integrate ABAP-based systems with the Conduct platform

• React, Vite, TanStack frontend

• Kotlin backend: Modern and expressive, paired with the maturity, tooling, and depth of the Java ecosystem. Lets us ship fast now without painting ourselves into a corner later.

• Temporal and PortKey: Absorbs infrastructure complexity around durable execution and enterprise-compliant LLM routing, so we can focus on shipping instead.

• Specialised LLM Harness: Built from hard-earned experience to give agents maximum freedom and intelligence without compromising on enterprise control, governance, or reliability.
