Senior SAP ABAP Developer

Position: Sr.ABAP Developer

Exp: 9+ years

Location: Bangalore or Chennai (Hybrid)

Employment Type: Full-Time

Notice Period: Immediate - 15 days

Summary

Kochasoft is looking for a Senior ABAP developer with SAP BTP expertise to review the current RPA estate from the SAP side, and recommend a transition roadmap moving eligible automations to custom ABAP programs/APIs or to SAP Build Process Automation (BPA) wherever that's a better fit than continuing on third-party RPA.

Key Responsibilities

Review the existing UiPath and Power Automate automations that touch SAP, focusing on the underlying transactions and business logic each one drives

For each SAP-facing automation, assess whether it's better served by a custom ABAP program/API (RFC, BAPI, OData/RAP), by SAP Build Process Automation (workflow, RPA, and decisioning on BTP), or left as-is on the existing RPA platform

Map available released APIs (SAP API Business Hub) and RISE with SAP's side-by-side BTP extensibility options against each candidate process

Propose a transition roadmap: sequencing, effort estimate, and target (ABAP program, SAP BPA, or no change) per automation

Coordinate with the Senior RPA Architect workstream so both sides of the assessment land on one consistent, joint recommendation

Stand up or extend the governed API/BTP extension catalog for whatever gets built

Required Experience

Senior ABAP with 9+ years of experience, hands-on ABAP development experience (RFC/BAPI, OData services, the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model / RAP)

Direct SAP BTP experience, including SAP Build Process Automation and side-by-side extensibility (ABAP Environment / Steampunk)

Experience with RISE with SAP's clean-core and extensibility model

Comfortable assessing and recommending build-vs-buy / platform-fit decisions, not just implementing a given spec

Able to work alongside an RPA-focused consultant/architect and reconcile both perspectives into one roadmap

Nice to Have

Familiarity with UiPath and/or Power Automate, enough to read what an existing bot does

SAP Integration Suite experience

Prior experience migrating RPA-driven processes onto native SAP automation

Deliverables

Assessment of SAP-facing RPA automations against ABAP-program / SAP BPA / no-change fit

A prioritized transition roadmap with sequencing and effort estimates

A released-API / extensibility gap list, handed to the wider governance catalog

A joint recommendation, aligned with the RPA Architect engagement, presented to leadership .
