What You’ll Do

Are you ready to take a senior engineering role in shaping mission‑critical planning solutions at the heart of the world’s leading enterprise software company? This is an opportunity to contribute to SAP S/4HANA Supply Chain Planning, with a focus on both SAP Extended Service Parts Planning (eSPP) and Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS).

• Collaborate closely with product owners, architects, quality engineers, product management, and development colleagues across locations to translate customer and roadmap requirements into reliable, scalable, and user‑oriented solutions.
• Act as a technical role model for less experienced developers by sharing knowledge, reviewing designs and code, and helping the team continuously improve engineering practices.
• Help shape the next generation of planning capabilities, including AI‑assisted planning experiences, Joule‑based contextual assistance, embedded analytics, and modern SAP Fiori user experiences.

• Experience with SAP technologies such as ABAP, SAP Fiori, CDS views, RAP, SQL, or SAP S/4HANA architecture is a strong plus; willingness to broaden your expertise across the SAP technology stack is expected.
• Experience or strong interest in PP/DS, eSPP, Production Planning, Materials Management, service parts planning, detailed scheduling, or related supply chain planning processes.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to understand complex planning algorithms, business processes, and customer scenarios.
• A senior mindset: ownership, technical leadership, high quality standards, clear communication, constructive collaboration, and the ability to guide others while remaining hands‑on.
• Fluent communication skills in English; German language skills are beneficial.
