Job description

Spotlight Partners is a privately held SAP consulting firm that lives at the intersection of SAP Cloud ERP and AI transformation — helping clients accelerate toward streamlined operations and untapped potential.

We specialize in two things: creating investment-grade business cases that articulate exactly the expected return on an SAP engagement, and taking a proprietary approach to developing supplemental AI within and outside the SAP ecosystem. That approach is Beacon, our AI platform — and we need someone to turn what our engineering team proves out into software we can actually sell and support.

Spotlight Partners is a uniquely experienced and curated group of talent built to deliver balance across

business operations and technology, without the red tape and bureaucracy of other consulting firms.

None of this works without the right people, and we've been deliberate about who's in the room. Spotlight Partners asks a lot — sound judgment, real ownership, and a genuine commitment to clients over convenience. What you get in return is a team that makes you sharper: people who know the work, say what they think, and hold the line on quality even when it's inconvenient. It's demanding. It's also where people do the best work of their careers.

The Role

You’ll take prototypes that have already proven their value and turn them into production software — modular, tested, and built to last. This is a productization role: you're extending and hardening what works, not starting over from scratch.

What You’ll Do

• Refactor prototypes into modular services and reusable libraries
• Build APIs and integration layers
• Implement authentication, authorization, tenancy, and audit logging
• Write and maintain the automated test suite
• Own code review standards and our internal component library

What You’ll Bring

• Strong experience with Python (FastAPI) and/or TypeScript (React or Next.js)
• Solid PostgreSQL and SQL experience
• Comfort with Git, Docker, REST and GraphQL, and testing frameworks (pytest or similar)
• Experience with OAuth2/OIDC and secure, production-grade API design
• Working knowledge of application architecture, separation of concerns, multi-tenancy, and RBAC
• A track record of shipping code that’s dependable and easy to hand off — you put interfaces and error handling ahead of clever algorithms, and you leave the codebase better than you found it

Nice to Have

• Experience with SAP OData and BTP SDKs
• AWS Developer Associate, Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204), or SAP Certified Development
• Associate (BTP Extensions)

What We Offer

• Ownership of the codebase and standards behind a real, revenue-generating AI product
• Hybrid flexibility (Metro Deroit, MI area)
• Competitive compensation, commensurate with experience
