Senior Consultant
SAP ABAP OO · Backend & Full-Stack · BTP Product Development
Location: Bengaluru, India. (WFO)
Budget: Max 30LPA
Type: Full-time
Role Summary
We are looking for a Senior Consultant with deep expertise in SAP ABAP Object-Oriented Programming (ABAP OO), with a strong backend focus (60–80% backend across all projects) and the ability to contribute across the full stack where required. Proven hands-on experience building enterprise-grade backend solutions and services on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).
You will contribute directly to product development at Exa AG, working with the core product engineering team on product architecture, solution development, and iterative delivery. This role goes beyond traditional implementation: you will take ideas from technical validation through rapid prototyping into scalable, reusable, enterprise-ready product capabilities.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop enterprise extensions and backend product features using ABAP OO on SAP S/4HANA and SAP BTP — with primary ownership of backend logic, data models, and service layers
- Build robust APIs, OData services, and service-oriented components for SAP-integrated enterprise products
- Contribute to frontend integration where needed, while maintaining a predominantly backend delivery scope (60–80% backend across engagements)
- Rapidly validate technical concepts through prototypes and PoCs; incorporate feedback and evolve solutions toward scalable product capabilities
- Apply fail-fast, iterative, customer-focused product development principles
- Collaborate with the core product engineering team on product architecture and technical direction
- Ensure solutions integrate cleanly with SAP core — upgrade-safe, add-on based, no core modifications
- Contribute to solution design, code quality, and enterprise-grade delivery standards

- Product engineering mindset: rapid prototyping, PoCs, iterative delivery
- Ability to work effectively within a core product engineering team on architecture and technical decisions
Preferred / Nice to Have
- Basic familiarity with SAP Fiori — frontend integration awareness sufficient; dedicated Fiori development not required
- Familiarity with SAP HANA in-memory processing and large-scale data handling
- Experience with SAP-certified add-on development supporting SAP ECC 6.0 and S/4HANA
- Exposure to hybrid deployment scenarios (on-premise, cloud BTP, ECC + S/4HANA coexistence)
- Background in Finance, Logistics, or Transfer Pricing domains
