Job Description:

We are looking for a highly experienced SAP HANA / ABAP CDS Developer with strong expertise in transforming complex legacy ABAP reporting logic into high-performance ABAP CDS Views within SAP HANA Studio for downstream consumption by Snowflake.

 The role requires deep technical understanding of SAP Financial Asset Management (FAM) data models, push-down architecture, and financial/accounting data processing, with a strong focus on replacing procedural ABAP logic by optimized database-level processing in SAP HANA.

 Key responsibilities include:

 Analyze existing custom ABAP programs, reports, function modules, and extraction logic

• Reverse-engineer complex business rules, joins, calculations, and reconciliation logic embedded in ABAP code
• Redesign and rebuild the logic as scalable ABAP CDS Views and CDS View Entities in SAP HANA Studio / Eclipse ADT
• Apply SAP HANA code push-down principles to maximize in-memory processing performance
• Create reusable layered CDS architecture (Basic, Composite, Consumption Views)
• Implement associations, annotations, calculated fields, unions, aggregations, and parameterized CDS views
• Optimize CDS views for large-volume financial and transactional datasets
• Ensure compatibility and efficient extraction into Snowflake via JDBC 4 driver
• Validate that transformed CDS logic produces results identical to legacy ABAP reports
• Support reconciliation between SAP source data and Snowflake target datasets
• Collaborate with SAP Functional, Data Engineering, and Snowflake teams on semantic alignment and data lineage
• Document technical mappings between legacy ABAP logic and new CDS-based architecture

Required technical skills:

• Expert-level ABAP development experience
• Strong hands-on expertise with:
• ABAP CDS Views
• CDS View Entities
• Core Data Services annotations
• Associations and path expressions
• AMDP (ABAP Managed Database Procedures)
• SQLScript
• SAP HANA performance optimization
• Advanced SAP HANA Studio / Eclipse ADT development experience
• Strong understanding of SAP push-down architecture and virtual data models (VDM)
• Experience converting procedural ABAP logic into declarative SQL/CDS-based models
• Deep SQL and relational data modeling expertise
• Experience with SAP Financial Asset Management (FAM) data model and high-volume reconciliation reporting preferred
• Experience integrating SAP data into Snowflake environments using JDBC 4 driver
• Familiarity with Snowflake ingestion patterns, dimensional modeling, and downstream analytics consumption
• Ability to troubleshoot performance bottlenecks across SAP HANA and Snowflake layers

Preferred experience:

• SAP ODP extraction framework
• SLT, SDI, SDA, or other SAP replication technologies
• Financial reporting and reconciliation frameworks
• Knowledge of Snowflake

Ideal candidate profile:

The ideal candidate combines strong legacy SAP ABAP development experience with modern SAP HANA data modeling expertise and understands how to architect performant CDS-based extraction layers for cloud data platforms such as Snowflake. They should be capable of independently translating highly customized SAP business logic into scalable, maintainable, and analytics-ready virtual data models.
