- RAP Proficiency : Deep, practical proficiency in the Restful Application Programming (RAP) model for building robust Fiori-ready services.

- Clean Core Familiarity : Strong understanding and practical experience with the Clean Core concept and the necessity of keeping the SAP S/4HANA core system clean of modifications.

- Extensibility Concepts : Solid understanding of modern extensibility techniques, including custom application development and the differences between in-app and side-by-side extensibility models.

- Database Procedures : Working knowledge of AMDPs for critical performance-intensive logic.

- Excellent communication, analytical, and interpersonal skills.

Desirable Skills :

- Experience with SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) development.

- Familiarity with Git or other version control systems for ABAP.

- Knowledge of Fiori Elements and UI5 development is a plus
