Were hiring SAP engineers to build the platform that powers Nova. Youll work across the foundational SAP infrastructure the agent runs on the agent layer itself and Novas own ABAP code that runs inside customer SAP environments. Expect to spend time writing and debugging Novas code in production SAP systems untangling gnarly transport and installation issues at customers and improving agent skills and prompts based on what you see. Think platform engineering focused through the lens of SAP. This is a deeply technical role: it requires real SAP expertise strong engineering instincts and informed opinions about how to make AI agents reliable on enterprise systems.

Build the foundational infrastructure. Youll work on the systems and primitives the agent uses every day off-stack code editing via abapGit search across customer systems identity and authorization sandboxes GUI automation and the integrations that connect Nova to a customers landscape.

Improve the agents SAP knowledge. Youll write skills refine prompts and tune how the agent reasons about SAP systems. The goal: make Nova perform like a senior SAP developer with deep context across modernization debugging business process redesign and code review.

Build the evaluation loop. Youll create repeatable test cases and benchmarks that catch regressions and let us measure improvement systematically. Every meaningful customer scenario should become a reproducible eval.

Debug across the full stack. When something breaks youll reproduce the problem isolate the cause (skill prompt ABAP code infrastructure or model) fix it and prevent the issue from occurring again.

• You bring deep SAP technical expertise: ABAP S/4HANA internals transport systems BAdIs enhancements the actual mechanics of how SAP systems work. Familiarity with BTP RAP CAP or Integration Suite is a strong plus.

• Youre a polyglot engineer. Youve shipped meaningful code in Python TypeScript Go or similar and you reach for the right tool for each problem.

• You have informed opinions on agent design and frontier models what they do well today and what theyll do well in six months.

• You have open-source contributions in or adjacent to the SAP ecosystem. (Strong plus not required.)

Most people in this role focus primarily on platform engineering. Some split time with direct customer engagement. We welcome candidates interested in either path (see Customer Facing Engineer role for more information).

• 5 years in deep SAP technical work

• Production experience with S/4HANA Clean Core or large-scale ABAP modernization

• Time at an early-stage startup infrastructure company or developer-tools company

Youll use Nova every day becoming one of the most fluent users of frontier AI tooling for SAP. Its a rare vantage point: years ahead of the rest of the industry on AI for enterprise software while shipping real value to customers.

Were a small highly talent-dense team building the infrastructure to make AI fluent in SAP. We offer competitive compensation meaningful equity and full health dental and vision coverage.
