Senior Developer - Java/SpringBoot

Job Description

We help the world run better
At SAP, we keep it simple: you bring your best to us, and we'll bring out the best in you. We're builders touching over 20 industries and 80% of global commerce, and we need your unique talents to help shape what's next. The work is challenging – but it matters. You'll find a place where you can be yourself, prioritize your wellbeing, and truly belong. What's in it for you? Constant learning, skill growth, great benefits, and a team that wants you to grow and succeed.

What you'll build

You won't just be maintaining legacy code; you will be the architect of a high-performance Analytics Foundation for the SAP Business Network. Your work sits at the intersection of Big Data and Enterprise Microservices.

• The Data Engine: You will oversee the transformation of massive transactional datasets into actionable insights using a Medallion Architecture (Bronze, Silver, Gold). This involves orchestrating Databricks and Spark pipelines to feed a high-scale Data Lake.
• The Intelligence Layer: You will design and scale Java-based microservices (Spring Boot and SAP CAP) that federate requests across global data centers, providing real-time visibility into billions of dollars' worth of purchase orders, invoices, and payments.
• The AI-Native Workflow: You will be a pioneer in our "Orchestration" model. Instead of manual boilerplate, you will build AI Agents and Skills (via Claude-code) to automate implementation, focusing your energy on high-level system design and robust technical guardrails.

What you bring

We aren't looking for a "task-picker"; we are looking for a Technical Leader with professional experience ranging between 7 to 14 years, who understands that code is a liability and design is an asset.

• Architectural Rigor: You have a "Right First Time" mindset. You understand the deep principles of OOP and System Design, but you have the pragmatism to apply them where they fit, avoiding unnecessary complexity.
• Expert Craftsmanship: You are a master of Java and the Spring ecosystem. You write clean, self-documenting code and believe that a feature is only "done" when it is covered by a bulletproof, automated E2E test suite.
• Requirement Mastery: You have the ability to dive deep into complex feature specifications, identify edge cases before they become bugs, and translate business logic into precise technical requirements that both humans and AI can execute.
• The "Nice to Haves": While your primary strength is in backend architecture and quality, experience with Databricks/Spark, SAP CAP/CDS, or Cloud-native infra (Kyma/K8s) will allow you to hit the ground running.

Where you belong

• You belong in a team that is tired of "workarounds" and "spaghetti code." We are a group of engineers who value deep understanding over "just making it work."
• An Engineering-First Culture: We are transitioning to a model where developers spend less time typing and more time thinking. If you enjoy solving complex "big picture" problems rather than fighting with syntax, you’ll fit right in.
• A Continuous Learning Lab: We are at the forefront of the AI revolution in software engineering. You will be part of a team that encourages upskilling in AI-driven development, Prompt Engineering, and Agentic Workflows.
• Global Impact, Local Ownership: You will be working on products used by the world's largest companies, within a team that has full ownership of its stack—from the data ingestion pipeline to the final UI5 visualization.
