Application Developer - SAP ABAP HANA

This Application Developer - SAP ABAP HANA role at IBM in Bengaluru centers on deep HANA-native development rather than traditional ABAP reporting. You will design, develop, and support solutions built directly on SAP HANA architecture, using HANA Studio for data modeling alongside ABAP Development Tools (ADT) for code development. A key part of the role involves working with ADBC and Native SQL to interact with HANA at a lower level than standard Open SQL typically allows, plus building CDS views and HANA Live models for analytical reporting. Responsibilities also include integrating existing packages into broader solutions and re-engineering older components to take advantage of HANA's in-memory capabilities.

This position requires 3-5 years of experience with specific strength in SAP HANA architecture and data modeling using HANA Studio, since the role goes well beyond standard ABAP reporting work. Comfort using ABAP Development Tools (ADT) as a primary development environment is expected, alongside hands-on experience with ADBC and Native SQL for HANA-level data access. Practical CDS view development and familiarity with HANA Live models for analytical use cases are required. Because the role includes re-engineering older components, candidates should be able to describe a specific instance where they modernized a legacy solution to leverage HANA's in-memory processing.
