A major SAP programme in Abu Dhabi is seeking a hands-on Senior SAP Technical Consultant — BTP, Extensions & Agentic AI to design, build, and support extensions across SAP S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, SAP BTP, and SAP Integration Suite. This is a development-focused role for someone who can take technical solutions from design through production — building secure, upgrade-safe capabilities for AI and agentic applications using ABAP RAP, CDS, CAP, CPI, Fiori/SAPUI5, LLM integration, retrieval, vector search, and SAP AI Core — while supporting the S/4HANA 2025 upgrade and working closely with Finance, HR, integration, security, and AI teams.
About the Opportunity — SAP BTP AI Engineer Abu Dhabi
SAP Development Scope: ABAP on S/4HANA, RAP, CDS, ABAP Objects, OData services, BTP CAP, HANA Cloud, Cloud Foundry, Kyma, Fiori Elements, SAPUI5, launchpad content
Integration Scope: SAP Integration Suite/CPI — mappings, scripting, APIs, and adapters; SuccessFactors extensions, integrations, and custom MDF solutions
AI & Agentic Scope: Governed tools and APIs for AI agents to safely work with SAP data; LLM integration, retrieval, grounding, vector search, model integrations, and AI evaluation
Security: Authorisation checks, OAuth2, least privilege, data protection, and audit logging across all SAP extension and AI integration work
Upgrade Support: S/4HANA 2025 upgrade, custom-code remediation, and regression testing
Abu Dhabi SAP & AI Market — Why This Role Now
Strategic Demand: Abu Dhabi’s major enterprises and government-linked organisations are actively upgrading to S/4HANA 2025 and embedding AI-native capabilities — creating sustained demand for senior SAP engineers who can also build governed agentic AI solutions
Rare Technical Profile: Senior SAP engineers who combine strong ABAP/BTP/CPI delivery capability with hands-on LLM integration, retrieval, and AI agent tooling experience are among the most sought-after technology professionals in the UAE and GCC SAP market
Clean Core Transition: UAE enterprises transitioning from legacy customisation to clean-core SAP BTP extension patterns need experienced engineers who understand both where they’ve come from and where they’re going
Career Growth: SAP BTP + Agentic AI credentials built on a UAE/GCC programme are internationally recognized and command premium compensation across global SAP consulting and enterprise technology markets
Position Overview
This Senior SAP Technical Consultant — BTP, Extensions & Agentic AI role in Abu Dhabi covers the full scope of SAP extension and AI integration engineering — from designing and building ABAP RAP/CDS/OData solutions and SAP BTP CAP/HANA Cloud/Cloud Foundry/Kyma applications, through SAP Integration Suite/CPI integration development, Fiori Elements and SAPUI5 user-facing extensions, SuccessFactors extensions and MDF solutions, governed AI agent tools and APIs for safe SAP data access, LLM integration, retrieval, and vector search, security controls, and S/4HANA 2025 upgrade support. You will challenge specifications that create unnecessary customisation, technical debt, or security risks — a sign that genuine technical seniority is expected and respected in this role.
Why This Role Matters: As Senior SAP BTP & AI Integration Engineer in Abu Dhabi, you are the technical specialist bridging two of the most important engineering disciplines in enterprise technology right now — deep SAP platform expertise (ABAP RAP, BTP CAP, Integration Suite, SuccessFactors) and hands-on AI engineering capability (LLM integration, retrieval, vector search, agentic tool APIs) — in a UAE programme where both are needed simultaneously and neither can be faked, apply 8+ years of SAP technical development experience in a role where clean-core principles, upgrade-safe extension patterns, and secure governed AI agent tooling are not aspirational goals but active engineering requirements — where the S/4HANA 2025 upgrade context means your ABAP modernisation and custom-code remediation experience has immediate, high-visibility impact, build governed tools and APIs that allow AI agents to safely access and act on SAP data — applying authorisation controls, OAuth2, least-privilege design, and audit logging in an agentic AI context where the consequences of poorly governed SAP data access are real and commercially significant, work directly with Finance, HR, integration, security, and AI teams — maintaining the communication and stakeholder management skills that distinguish a truly senior SAP engineer from one who can code but cannot shape solutions, and build a senior SAP BTP and Agentic AI engineering credential in Abu Dhabi — one of the most strategically active SAP and AI transformation markets in the GCC — in a role where the combination of SAP depth and AI engineering breadth is genuinely rare and genuinely valued.
Key Responsibilities
SAP ABAP Development — Clean Core, RAP & CDS
- Design and build SAP extensions using clean-core principles — ensuring all ABAP development is upgrade-safe, maintainable, and aligned with SAP’s modern extension architecture
- Develop ABAP solutions using RAP (ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model), CDS (Core Data Services), ABAP Objects, and OData services on S/4HANA
- Support the S/4HANA 2025 upgrade — performing custom-code remediation and regression testing to ensure existing solutions are upgrade-compatible
- Challenge specifications that create unnecessary customisation, technical debt, or security risks — applying the seniority and credibility to push back on poor design decisions before they reach implementation
SAP BTP, Integration Suite & SuccessFactors
- Build and maintain SAP BTP applications and services using CAP (Cloud Application Programming Model), HANA Cloud, Cloud Foundry, or Kyma runtimes
- Develop integrations using SAP Integration Suite/CPI — including mappings, scripting, REST and SOAP APIs, and adapters for enterprise system connectivity
- Build Fiori Elements and SAPUI5 applications, launchpad content, and user-facing extensions that deliver high-quality, consistent SAP user experiences
- Develop SuccessFactors extensions, integrations, and custom MDF solutions — including extension centre implementations, business rules, and workflow automation
Agentic AI — Governed Tools, LLM Integration & Vector Search
- Build governed tools and APIs that allow AI agents to work safely with SAP data — applying authorisation checks, OAuth2, least-privilege access, data protection, and audit logging throughout
- Implement LLM integration, retrieval, grounding, vector search, model integrations, and AI evaluation processes for SAP-connected AI and agentic applications
- Apply hands-on AI engineering experience — including LLM integration, retrieval architectures, and tool/function calling — to build secure, production-ready AI capabilities on the SAP platform
- Leverage SAP AI Core, Joule, and HANA Cloud Vector Engine where available — and apply JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, or Python for AI integration and BTP development
Security, Quality & Stakeholder Collaboration
- Apply security controls — authorisation checks, OAuth2, least privilege, data protection, and audit logging — across all SAP extension and AI integration solutions
- Ensure all solutions include monitoring, error handling, automated testing, documentation, and support runbooks — delivering production-ready quality throughout
- Work closely with Finance, HR, integration, security, and AI teams to deliver reliable solutions that meet business requirements and production standards
- Maintain Git discipline, code review practices, automated testing, and deployment discipline across all SAP BTP and AI integration development work
Qualifications & Requirements
Required Experience
- 8+ years of hands-on SAP technical development experience (REQUIRED)
- Strong ABAP on S/4HANA, RAP, CDS, ABAP Objects, and OData — production experience, not configuration-only exposure (REQUIRED)
- Practical SAP BTP and SAP Integration Suite/CPI development experience (REQUIRED)
