Software Development Engineer (SAP Basis)

This Software Development Engineer role at Accenture, based in Bengaluru, blends traditional software engineering practice with SAP Basis-specific infrastructure work, combining code-level development with system administration responsibilities. You will analyze, design, code, and test application components, meaning this role carries genuine development ownership rather than being purely infrastructure-focused despite the Basis specialization. System performance tuning, installations, and upgrades form the core Basis-specific scope, alongside SAP security configuration and database management work. Leading and mentoring team members is an explicit part of this role, reflecting a senior positioning despite the engineer title. Managing ongoing maintenance, enhancements, and troubleshooting rounds out the responsibilities, requiring you to balance new development work against the steady demands of keeping existing systems stable and secure.

This role explicitly requires 5+ years of experience per the description, despite the structured field showing 1-4 years, so candidates should note the description's stated benchmark takes precedence given the mentoring and leadership responsibilities described. Strong SAP Basis administration skills are required, covering installations, upgrades, and system performance tuning. Practical SAP security configuration knowledge is essential, along with database management experience. Because this role blends coding with infrastructure work, candidates should have genuine software development experience beyond pure Basis administration, not just configuration scripting.
