Senior SAP Engineer

Nova Intelligence

91d

About The Position

Nova Intelligence is building the most powerful AI platform for SAP teams. SAP is the heart of the enterprise: almost every critical business process at the world's largest companies — finance, supply chain, manufacturing, sales — runs on SAP. Our customers use Nova to 3x the productivity of their SAP teams: modernizing legacy code, redesigning business processes, resolving production issues, and more. Nova Intelligence was founded by AI researchers, repeat entrepreneurs, and the co-inventor of SAP HANA, and has raised $40M from SAP.io, Accel, Conviction, and Chemistry. Check out the Launch Video About this role We're hiring SAP engineers to build the platform that powers Nova. You'll work across the foundational SAP infrastructure the agent runs on, the agent layer itself, and Nova's own ABAP code that runs inside customer SAP environments. Expect to spend time writing and debugging Nova's 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.

Requirements

Deep SAP technical expertise: ABAP, S/4HANA internals, transport systems, BAdIs, enhancements — the actual mechanics of how SAP systems work.
Polyglot engineer. You've shipped meaningful code in Python, TypeScript, Go, or similar, and you reach for the right tool for each problem.
Informed opinions on agent design and frontier models — what they do well today and what they'll do well in six months.
5+ years in deep SAP technical work
Production experience with S/4HANA, Clean Core, or large-scale ABAP modernization

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with BTP, RAP, CAP, or Integration Suite is a strong plus.
Open-source contributions in or adjacent to the SAP ecosystem. (Strong plus, not required.)
Time at an early-stage startup, infrastructure company, or developer-tools company

Responsibilities

Build the foundational infrastructure. You'll 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 customer's landscape.
Improve the agent's SAP knowledge. You'll 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. You'll 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, you'll reproduce the problem, isolate the cause (skill, prompt, ABAP code, infrastructure, or model), fix it and prevent the issue from occurring again.
