SAP BW HANA ABAP

Job Description
Job Title: SAP BW / HANA / ABAP Developer
Location: Remote
Position summary
We are looking for a strong SAP BW/HANA Developer with deep, hands-on expertise across BW/BW4HANA data modelling, native SAP HANA development, and ABAP/ABAP-on-HANA programming. This role demands core technical strength — not surface familiarity — in all four pillars: BW, HANA, ABAP, and HANA SQL. The ideal candidate can independently design data models, write performant HANA SQL/SQLScript, and build custom ABAP logic across the data layer.
Core Skills — Must Be Strong
• SAP BW / BW4HANA — data modelling, ADSOs, CompositeProviders, transformations, process chains, query design.
• SAP HANA — calculation views (graphical & script-based), analytic/attribute views, modelling best practices.
• ABAP — core ABAP development, OOABAP, and ABAP on HANA (code pushdown, AMDP).
• HANA SQL / SQLScript — advanced query writing, performance tuning, stored procedures, table functions.
Candidates should be able to speak to real project depth in each of these four areas, not just one or two — this is a strong-hands-on-all-round profile, not a specialist in a single tool.
Key Responsibilities
• Design, build, and optimize BW/BW4HANA data models (ADSO, CompositeProvider, Open ODS View, InfoObjects).
• Develop calculation views, analytic views, and complex SQLScript-based logic in native HANA.
• Write and maintain ABAP programs, function modules, and AMDP-based transformation routines.
• Tune HANA SQL queries and data models for performance — partitioning, indexing, and execution plan analysis.
• Build and maintain DTPs, transformation rules, and process chains for reliable, monitored data loads.
• Integrate BW/HANA outputs with reporting layers (BEx, SAP Analytics Cloud, or equivalent BI tools).
• Troubleshoot data load failures, performance bottlenecks, and data reconciliation issues across the BW/HANA stack.
• Collaborate with functional teams to translate business/reporting requirements into technical data models.
• Document technical designs, data models, and transformation logic; support testing and go-live activities.
Required Qualifications
Experience
• 5-8+ years of overall SAP experience, with strong hands-on exposure to BW/BW4HANA, native HANA modelling, and ABAP.
• Demonstrated project experience writing HANA SQL/SQLScript for performance-critical data logic.
• Experience with ABAP on HANA — code pushdown techniques, AMDP, and HANA-optimized ABAP.
Technical Skills
• Strong command of BW LSA/LSA++ architecture, InfoObjects, transformations, and process chain monitoring.
• Hands-on HANA modelling: calculation views (graphical and SQLScript-based), analytic/attribute views.
• Proficient in Core ABAP, OOABAP, and debugging complex custom developments.
• Strong SQL fundamentals with the ability to write and tune complex HANA SQL queries and stored procedures.
• Familiarity with SAP source system extraction (ECC/S4HANA) and RFC-based connections.
Education
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field.
Good to Have
• Exposure to SAP Datasphere or SAP BW/4HANA migration/conversion projects.
• Experience with SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) or other BI/reporting tool integration.
• Knowledge of SAP BTP and OData-based data consumption.
• Exposure to S/4HANA data structures (Universal Journal / ACDOCA) is a plus.
Preferred Certifications
• SAP Certified Application Associate — SAP BW/4HANA
• SAP Certified Development Associate — ABAP with SAP HANA
• SAP Certified Technology Associate — SAP HANA
Soft Skills & Attributes
• Strong analytical mindset with a bias toward performance and data accuracy.
• Able to work independently on complex technical builds with minimal hand-holding.
• Good communication skills for cross-functional collaboration with business and BI teams.
• Comfortable in Agile/Scrum delivery environments handling multiple concurrent workstreams.
