Provide remediation support through retesting and defect closure cycles
Develop and maintain technical design documents, development specifications, and testing artifacts
Support transport management, deployment activities, and production readiness efforts
Collaborate with integration developers where custom objects connect to SAP or external systems
Leverage SAP CPI / SAP Integration Suite where applicable, especially for integration-related custom solutions

Here’s what you need:

4+ years of SAP ABAP development experience
Experience developing custom solutions within SAP HCM and/or Payroll environments
Demonstrated experience building and supporting reports, interfaces, conversions, enhancements, forms, workflows, and related custom components
Ability to interpret functional specifications and convert them into robust technical designs
Strong debugging and problem‑resolution skills
