Are you an SAP engineer who has built software that shipped to real customers, not just customised a single company's system? At Basis Technologies, we're looking for a Senior SAP UI5 Developer who thinks in products, not projects.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Basis Technologies powers intelligent change management for SAP‑run enterprises worldwide. Our flagship product, ActiveControl, is used by Kimberly‑Clark, Honda, Booking.com and others to govern how technical change moves through their SAP landscapes. You wouldn't be customising SAP. You'd be writing software that SAP‑run businesses depend on to keep their production systems stable. This is a builder's role. Clean Core is a first‑class principle here, not a constraint we're retrofitting around, but the foundation we build on. UI5 is the primary front‑end layer, and OData services and REST APIs are the standard integration pattern. ABAP still matters, this is a deep SAP platform product, but the mindset is product engineering, not enterprise customisation. If that distinction resonates with you, keep reading.
What You'll Own
- UI5 Development & Clean Core: Design and deliver UI5 components that serve enterprise customers with complex, varied SAP landscapes
- Own your code end‑to‑end: from design to ABAP Unit tests to deployment, following Agile principles
- Lead code reviews and be an active voice on how the team raises its Clean Core standards
Technical Collaboration
- Work with abapGit as a genuine source control workflow, not a last‑resort backup mechanism
- Collaborate directly with the engineering team on architecture decisions. Senior engineers have real influence here
- Partner with Product and QA to ensure features are tested, documented, and production‑ready
Platform & Ecosystem Awareness
- Understand the broader SAP platform well enough to anticipate how changes affect customer landscapes
- Stay ahead of SAP's Clean Core and BTP roadmap to inform technical decisions early
What We're Looking For
- Strong foundation in SAP UI5: controls, data binding, ODataModel and JSONModel, component architecture
- OData services and REST APIs as standard integration patterns
- Agile delivery in a collaborative, cross‑functional team setting
- Experience advocating for or implementing Clean Core in a real, complex codebase
Bonus Points For
- ABAP: object‑oriented, enhancement frameworks, and a solid grasp of the underlying platform
- ABAP Unit testing and a genuine commitment to tested, production‑ready code
- abapGit and source control as a standard, disciplined workflow
- JavaScript or TypeScript development outside of UI5
- SAP BTP — particularly as a deployment or extension target
