About the Role
We are looking for a Senior SAP BW/BI Developer to design, build, and optimize enterprise data warehousing solutions on SAP BW. The ideal candidate has deep hands-on experience across the full SAP BW/BI stack — from data extraction and ABAP development to performance tuning and cross-platform data integration — and can independently own complex data solutions from design through production support.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop SAP BW/BI solutions, including data models, extraction logic, and reporting objects to support business analytics needs.
- Build and maintain data ingestion pipelines from SAP ECC and functional modules including PM, FI/CO, SD, MM, and C4C into SAP BW.
- Develop, enhance, and debug custom extractors, user exits, and enhancements using ABAP programming.
- Design and build DSOs (Data Store Objects), InfoCubes, and BEx Queries to support reporting and analytics requirements.
- Develop and maintain APDs (Analysis Process Designer) to extract data from BW and push output files to application servers for downstream consumption.
- Analyze, troubleshoot, and optimize BW query and load performance, particularly for large data volumes.
- Build and support connectivity between SAP BW and external data platforms, preferably Cloudera and/or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
- Design, schedule, and monitor Process Chains to automate data loads and ensure data availability SLAs are met.
- Manage Transport Requests across development, quality, and production landscapes following change management best practices.
- Create and maintain technical documentation, including design specs, data flow diagrams, and process runbooks.
- Collaborate with functional consultants, business analysts, and downstream data teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
- Provide production support, root-cause analysis, and long-term fixes for data and performance issues
