Your role in the team
- RHONDOS PowerConnect is the recognized leader in SAP security and observability - trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises to secure and monitor their most mission-critical systems. PowerConnect is a mature, widely deployed product with a substantial global customer base, and the ABAP at its core has to be world-class: clean, secure, maintainable, and continuously improving.
- This role is for a capable, self-directed software engineer who takes ownership of the quality and evolution of production ABAP code. You are not a junior developer learning the basics, and you are not a senior architect setting direction. You are a skilled practitioner - someone who understands what makes software good, applies computer engineering fundamentals with discipline, and raises the standard of the codebase through every commit.
- PowerConnect sits at the intersection of SAP, security, and observability. The work is technically deep, the customers are large and exacting, and the stakes are real. This role is for someone who finds that motivating.
- ABAP Development & Feature Delivery
- You write ABAP code that works - correctly, efficiently, and at a standard the codebase can be proud of. Specifically, you are accountable for:
- Delivering new features and enhancements as directed by the product organization, with clean, well-annotated, vulnerability-free code
- Applying both functional and object-oriented programming principles with fluency - choosing the right approach for the problem, not the one you happen to be most comfortable with
- Writing code that others can read, review, and build on - variable names that mean something, logic that is traceable, and comments that explain intent where the code alone cannot
- Ensuring every piece of code you ship is free from security vulnerabilities - this is a non-negotiable on a product trusted by the world's largest organizations to protect their SAP environments
- Ownership of the Software Development Lifecycle
- Development does not end when the code compiles. You are expected to own your work through the full SDLC, including:
- Writing and maintaining unit tests and contributing to integration testing coverage - quality is your responsibility, not QA's alone
- Participating actively in code review - both receiving feedback and providing it for your peers
- Contributing to transport management and release packaging, ensuring changes move through development, quality, and production environments cleanly and traceably
- Supporting root cause analysis and resolution when defects surface in production - and contributing to the process improvements that prevent them from recurring
- Product Support
- PowerConnect has a large, active customer base. Support is not a distraction from engineering - it is part of the job:
- Providing technical escalation support for complex customer issues that require ABAP-level diagnosis
- Translating customer-reported problems into clear, reproducible defects and driving them to resolution with appropriate urgency
- Building documentation and tooling that reduces the frequency and cost of escalations over time
- Continuous Learning & Technical Growth
- The SAP development landscape is evolving - ABAP for Cloud, RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP), ABAP Unit, clean core principles, and AI-assisted development are all changing what good ABAP looks like. You are expected to:
- Actively stay current with modern ABAP practices and bring relevant improvements back to the team and the codebase
- Contribute to internal knowledge sharing - write-ups, documentation, brief tech talks, or simply being the person on the team who knows the answer
- Engage with the broader RHONDOS mission beyond your immediate codebase - understand the product, the customers, and the business context well enough to make better engineering decisions
Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Solid, demonstrable proficiency in ABAP - classical and modern language syntax and development principles
- Deep proficiency in ABAP Objects: interfaces, inheritance, class-based exceptions, and design patterns such as factory, builder, dispatcher, and task queue
- Strong ABAP Dictionary skills: transparent tables, views, data elements, domains, table types, lock objects, and search helps
- HTTP/REST integration from ABAP and serializing/parsing JSON and XML payloads at high volume
- Performance-minded development for high-volume data extraction: efficient Open SQL, internal table handling at scale, and runtime analysis
- Understanding of core computer engineering principles: data structures, algorithmic complexity, modularity, encapsulation, separation of concerns
- Familiarity with SAP security concepts relevant to ABAP development - authorization objects, input validation, injection prevention
- Ability to write code that others can read - not just code that runs
- Neugier und die Disziplin, daraus zu handeln: Du entdeckst neue Techniken und setzt sie tatsächlich um
- Familiarity with SAP observability, monitoring, or security tooling (SAP Solution Manager, SIEM integration, Splunk or Dynatrace connectors)
- Exposure to DevOps or CI/CD practices in a SAP context
- Working knowledge of observability protocols and platforms: Splunk (HTTP Event Collector, REST API, metrics), Dynatrace, Elastic or OCI Logging
- Familiarity with SAP integration and replication technologies: SAP Gateway and OData (V2/V4), SLT/LTRC, IDoc/ALE, AIF
Experience
- Hands-on experience with RFC and parallel processing: asynchronous RFC, task queues and dispatching, enqueue locking and synchronization, background jobs, and shared memory objects
- Experience working across the full SDLC: development, testing, transport management, and production support
- Experience with modern ABAP practices: RAP, ABAP for Cloud, Clean ABAP guidelines, or ABAP Unit testing frameworks
- Experience in a product company - software you built is running in production at customers you care about
- Experience with AI-assisted development tooling and a genuine opinion on how to use it well
- Experience querying and monitoring SAP HANA via ADBC / native SQL
