SAP Developer Resume
Skills & ATS Keywords

The language spine of every SAP development file. Modern ABAP 7.5+ syntax on S/4HANA, ABAP Objects with proper class design, the RAP RESTful Application Programming model on greenfield work, CDS views modeled at the right VDM layer, AMDP procedures pushing logic into HANA where Open SQL stops being enough, and a feel for when classic ABAP reports still belong in the file versus when they get retired. The line between a Mid file and a Senior one is whether clean-core thinking reads as habit or as remediation after the next conversion.

The platform and UI lane. S/4HANA on-prem and Cloud (public and private edition), Fiori Elements for list-report and object-page apps where the CDS model carries the work, SAPUI5 for freestyle screens, the OData annotation layer that drives the Elements behavior, the Fiori Launchpad with proper catalogs and groups, draft handling for two-step business flows, and Side-by-Side extensions on BTP for the heavier non-core work. Freestyle UI5 on a 2026 file should be the freestyle exception, not the default.

The cloud lane. BTP Cloud Foundry and Kyma runtimes, CAP (Cloud Application Programming) on Node.js or Java for side-by-side services, SAP Workflow for the long-running approval paths, SAP Build Apps for low-code surfaces, AI Core for the model-serving side that started showing up on JDs this year, and a working command of the BTP cockpit (subaccounts, entitlements, destinations, roles). Senior files name the BTP slice they actually owned, not the full service catalog.

How SAP talks to the rest of the estate. SAP Integration Suite as the modern spine, Cloud Integration (the artist formerly known as CPI) for the request-response and event flows, API Management for the public surface, Event Mesh on the asynchronous push path, IDocs and BAPIs for the classic ECC interfaces still alive on every customer, RFC and qRFC where the latency budget is tight, and SLT for replication off the database when CDC is the wrong tool. PI/PO stays in the file only where the customer has not migrated yet.

Where the numbers actually live. HANA as the platform, SQLScript on the performance-critical procedures, CDS analytical models layered for VDM consumption, Datasphere on the modern data warehouse path, embedded analytics inside S/4HANA where the report belongs next to the transaction, SAC (SAP Analytics Cloud) on the dashboard surface, and a working awareness of BW/4HANA for the customer that has not retired it yet. Knowing when to push logic into AMDP and when to keep it in ABAP is what separates a Mid from a Senior.

Where the business actually runs. At least one deep module specialism (FI/CO, MM, SD, PP, HCM), cross-functional process literacy to read what the partner module sends across, and localization awareness for the country versions you actually shipped on. SAP hiring closes on developers who can name tables, transactions, and the customizing path of the module they own without looking. Listing five modules at the same depth reads as filler; pick the one and prove it.

How the work actually ships across SAP landscapes. gCTS as the source-tracked transport layer, abapGit for the ABAP shop that lives on Git, ChaRM and Solution Manager for the heavier governance estate, Focused Build where the customer paid for the framework, transport management across Dev to QA to Prod with the cadence the business will accept, and BTP deployment pipelines on the cloud side (often piper or a vanilla Azure DevOps run). A SAP file with no transport story reads as a sandbox CV.

The piece every SAP review weighs heavily. Authorization objects and roles designed instead of copied, segregation of duties enforced on every critical path, GDPR and SOX obligations handled inside the application layer, secure ABAP coding (no string-built SQL, no ABAP-injection-friendly dynamic table names, proper authority-check calls), system audit logs wired to the customer SIEM, and the Code Inspector plus ATC kept clean as a release gate rather than a once-a-year cleanup. Audit findings count.
