SAP Integration developer

SAP Developer / Integration Consultant (Permanent | Remote-first, Germany-based)

Location: Germany (remote-first, 1x/month onsite in Essen or Duisburg)

Contract Type: Full-time, permanent (German employment contract)

Start Date: ASAP

Languages: German (basic working proficiency), English (professional)

About the Role

We are currently supporting a leading German organization in hiring a SAP Developer / Integration Consultant to strengthen their internal HR Tech & Payroll integration capabilities. You will join a cross-functional team responsible for maintaining and developing complex interfaces between SAP and Workday (Other third party). This is a permanent in-house position with a remote-first setup — ideal for candidates seeking long-term stability and the opportunity to work on high-impact internal systems, rather than external client projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain SAP-side integrations within a complex, heavily customized system landscape
• Support existing HR and Payroll processes by ensuring reliable SAP & Workday data flows
• Collaborate closely with both SAP and Workday teams (structurally separate but working in tandem)
• Gradually take ownership of key interfaces and serve as a backup to the current senior SAP integration expert
• Contribute to reducing risk by increasing internal redundancy and improving continuity in critical system integrations

Must-Have Skills

• Strong SAP development experience (e.g., ABAP, custom module work)
• Solid understanding of SAP integrations, especially in HR or Payroll environments
• Comfortable navigating complex system architectures
• Based in Germany (due to employment, tax, and team structure requirements)

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Prior exposure to Workday integrations is a strong plus
• Basic German language skills (English-only candidates may face communication barriers in this team)
• Ability and willingness to grow into a cross-system integration lead role over time

What You’ll Achieve in the First 6 Months

• Get up to speed with the internal integration landscape across SAP HR, Workday, and proprietary systems
• Learn the internal tools and configuration approaches used by the team
• Begin contributing independently to SAP-side integration development
• Serve as a reliable support for the existing senior SAP integration expert

Challenges & Environment

This is not a greenfield role. The integration environment is mature and complex, with deep customisations and dependencies. The ideal candidate will bring patience, curiosity, and strong problem-solving skills to navigate this structure and add long-term value.

Why Join?

• Remote-first culture : Only 1 day/month required onsite
• Stable, in-house position in a well-established organization (27,000 employees)
• Exposure to Workday : A rare chance to deepen your skills in a fast-growing HCM ecosystem
• Long-term opportunity : Become a key internal integration expert or future systems architect
• Visible impact : This role directly supports HR and payroll continuity across the business
