What you bring

You can design architecture components independently. You will define specifications. You will evaluate architectures and improve integration patterns. Your experience with cloud architecture, systems thinking, and enterprise application development gives you the technical foundation to make credible architectural decisions and own them end-to-end. You bring solid expertise in at least one relevant area, such as backend or ABAP development, ERP applications, or AI/agent engineering, and are ready to develop your capabilities across the others. Comfort working with APIs, complex business logic, backend systems, and AI-enabled applications is expected at this level. You can evaluate complex existing systems, understand their business and technical dependencies, and translate that understanding into practical solution designs.

What you’ll build

You will design architectural patterns for enterprise and AI-enabled applications independently. This will involve defining specifications. You will also run benchmark evaluations. These evaluations will confirm the application's reliability, scalability, security, and compliance. You will be active in application development. You will work on ABAP-based backend components, business logic, APIs, and interfaces. You will also oversee AI features such as LLM integration, retrieval-augmented generation, and agentic patterns.

Where you belong

You'll contribute to the architecture and implementation of end-to-end solutions that combine complex finance and ERP backend capabilities with modern AI technologies. You will implement robust CI/CD and engineering practices. This includes automated testing. It also involves observability, deployment strategies, and performance monitoring. Collaborating with product, engineering, and AI teams to translate product objectives into reliable application solutions with clear technical requirements and measurable outcomes rounds out the scope.You'll own architectural decisions for your team's systems and be the technical reference for questions about application design, backend and integration patterns, and AI-enabled solutions. Mentoring and supporting other engineers is a genuine expectation: your technical rigor and approach to specification and evaluation set a standard that helps the team grow.

This team values ownership and clear thinking over hierarchy: if your analysis is right, it shapes the architecture. If you're ready to take full responsibility for complex enterprise applications, this job is a good fit. You'll work with established backend technologies. You'll also use new AI capabilities. Additionally, you will be the technical authority for your systems.
