Job Details and Responsibilities

Role Overview:

The Forward Deployed Engineer — SAP BTP & AI works directly with customers to turn complex SAP business problems into working technical solutions.
This is a hands-on, customer-facing engineering role focused on rapid discovery, prototyping, solution design, and early-stage delivery. The role combines SAP ecosystem knowledge, SAP BTP engineering, clean core extension patterns, and practical AI experimentation to help customers validate ideas quickly and move from concept to usable enterprise solutions.
The ideal candidate is comfortable working in ambiguous customer environments, understanding SAP landscapes, building prototypes quickly, and translating real-world requirements into scalable, secure, cloud-ready architectures.
This role is suited to someone who can operate across customer workshops, architecture design, hands-on development, technical demos, AI proof-of-concepts, and reusable accelerator creation.

Key Responsibilities:

- Work directly with SAP customers to understand business processes, pain points, technical landscapes, and integration constraints.
- Rapidly design and build proof-of-concepts, prototypes, demos, accelerators, and early production-ready solutions.
- Develop SAP BTP-based extensions using technologies such as CAP, ABAP Cloud, Fiori/UI5, SAP Build, Integration Suite, Event Mesh, and AI services.
- Translate ambiguous customer problems into clear technical options, architecture patterns, and working software.
- Apply clean core and cloud-ready extension principles when designing solutions around S/4HANA and other SAP systems.
- Prototype AI-enabled SAP use cases using SAP AI Core, SAP AI Launchpad, Joule, LLMs, document grounding, workflow automation, and agentic patterns.
- Integrate SAP systems with external platforms, APIs, events, identity providers, databases, and AI services.
- Support short- and mid-term customer engagements that validate technical feasibility and accelerate innovation.
- Create reusable engineering assets, demo scenarios, reference architectures, and implementation patterns from customer work.
- Provide practical technical guidance to customers, partners, sales teams, product teams, and delivery teams.
- Feed customer learnings back into internal strategy, product direction, and repeatable go-to-market assets.

Qualifications

Required Skills and Experience

- Strong hands-on experience with SAP Business Technology Platform, especially Cloud Foundry; Kyma experience is also valuable.
- Strong development background in one or more of:

SAP CAP
ABAP Cloud / RAP
CDS
Fiori/UI5
Node.js

- Good understanding of clean core extensibility and how to build side-by-side or in-app extensions for SAP landscapes.
- Practical experience building applications, integrations,



workflows, APIs, or automation solutions.
- Ability to work with SAP system interfaces such as OData, REST, SOAP, IDoc, RFC, events, and released S/4HANA APIs.
- Working knowledge of SAP BTP security concepts, including destinations, XSUAA, roles, service bindings, and connectivity.
- General understanding of identity and access management using SAP Cloud Identity Services, including IAS and IPS.
- Ability to work directly with customers in workshops, discovery sessions, demos, and technical deep dives.
- Strong ability to move from high-level business problem to working prototype without needing fully defined requirements.
- Clear communication skills with both technical and business stakeholders.

AI and Automation Experience

- Agentic application patterns using frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, MCP servers/clients, or similar.
- Integrating AI into enterprise applications using CAP, APIs, events, process automation, or BTP services.
- Building AI-enabled solutions for SAP use cases such as finance operations, procurement, supply chain, customer service, exception handling, document processing, or process monitoring.

Nice to have skills:

- Deep hands-on expertise with IAS, IPS, XSUAA, and enterprise identity patterns.
- Experience with SAP Integration Suite, API Management, and Cloud Integration.
- Experience with SAP Event Mesh, Advanced Event Mesh, Workflow Management, or SAP Build Process Automation.
- Understanding of cloud-native architecture, Kubernetes, Kyma, containers, and event-driven design.
