About The Position

Tessera Labs is redefining how enterprises modernize and operate their core systems using enterprise-intelligent AI. Backed by Foundation Capital and built by leaders from top technology and research institutions, Tessera delivers multi-agent AI systems that automate complex workflows across SAP, Salesforce, Workday, Snowflake, Oracle, and other mission-critical platforms. Our mission is to compress years of enterprise transformation into weeks; safely, governably, and with measurable outcomes. We operate with extreme ownership, move quickly, and build at the frontier of applied AI for regulated, large-scale enterprise environments. The Systems Engineer – SAP ABAP plays a critical role in analyzing, remediating, and modernizing complex SAP custom code landscapes within Tessera’s AI-native platform. This role blends deep ABAP development expertise—particularly custom code remediation, S/4HANA adaptation, and performance optimization—with systems engineering discipline, integration design, and applied AI-driven automation. You will work hands-on within SAP ECC and S/4HANA environments, performing detailed custom code analysis, configuring and executing ATC and readiness scans, resolving deprecated objects, and refactoring legacy ABAP to align with clean-core and extensibility best practices. You will also support cross-system integrations and enable AI-driven automation across ERP and adjacent enterprise platforms. This role is ideal for an engineer who understands how SAP systems operate in real production environments—across application, data, and integration layers—and can modernize highly customized landscapes safely, governably, and intelligently using automation and AI.
