Location: Arlington, VA - Hybrid / Onsite
Security Clearance: DoD Security Clearance Eligibility Required
Program: SAP ABAP Developer – ERP Modernization & S/4HANA Migration – Levels II, III & Sr.

Navaide is seeking experienced SAP ABAP Developers to support the U.S. Navy's strategic transformation program, modernizing its enterprise resource planning environment from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA. This is a transformation initiative, not a sustainment role. You will be at the forefront of designing and building modern ABAP solutions in an S/4HANA landscape—leveraging CDS Views, OData services, the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP), and SAP Fiori to replace legacy ECC customizations with clean, upgrade-ready code. You will work closely with functional architects, integration leads, and government stakeholders to ensure that Navy financial and supply chain processes are accurately re-engineered and successfully migrated to the new platform.

Key Responsibilities & Duties
• Design and develop new ABAP solutions using modern S/4HANA development patterns—CDS Views, OData V2/V4, RAP, and AMDP—adhering to SAP Clean Core principles to ensure long-term upgrade readiness.
• Lead or contribute to the assessment and remediation of legacy ECC ABAP custom code (SPDD/SPAU), identifying opportunities to replace classical enhancements with S/4HANA-compatible equivalents.
• Develop and maintain OData services to support SAP Fiori and UI5 applications, collaborating with UX/functional teams to deliver intuitive user interfaces for Navy end users.
• Support system integrations using SAP Integration Suite (BTP/CPI) or PI/PO for interfaces connecting S/4HANA to external Navy and DoD systems.
• Partner with functional consultants and architects to translate complex business requirements—across MM, FM, FI, CO, SCM, PS, and SD—into technically sound S/4HANA solutions.
• Participate in the full software development lifecycle: requirements analysis, technical specification, development, unit testing, integration testing, and deployment support.
• Conduct and participate in code reviews, enforcing S/4HANA best practices and Clean Core standards across the development team.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation including design documents, code specifications, migration runbooks, and knowledge transfer materials.

Required Qualifications
• 4- 8+ years of experience with hands-on SAP S/4HANA ABAP development experience, including CDS Views, OData V2/V4, and OO-ABAP (ABAP 7.5+)
• Experience with the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP) for transactional and analytical applications
• Proficiency with Eclipse / ABAP Development Tools (ADT)
• Working knowledge of SAP Fiori/UI5 and development or troubleshooting of OData-backed applications
• Experience supporting or executing ECC-to-S/4HANA migrations, including custom code remediation (SPDD/SPAU) and upgrade activities
• Functional knowledge in two or more SAP modules (MM, FM, FI, CO, SCM, PS, SD) with ability to translate business requirements into technical designs
• Familiarity with SAP Clean Core principles and extension strategies (e.g., BAdIs, ABAP in the Cloud)
• Strong communication skills with ability to produce technical documentation and collaborate across teams

Preferred Qualifications
• DoD or U.S. Navy experience, including familiarity with Navy ERP, financial processes, or acquisition and supply chain systems
• Experience with SAP BTP services (Integration Suite/CPI, API Management, SAP Build)
• ABAP Managed Database Procedures (AMDP) and SQLScript experience for HANA-native performance optimization
• Experience with Git-based transport management and DevOps practices in SAP environments
• Active DoD security clearance (Secret or above)
• SAP certification in ABAP, S/4HANA development, or related technology
• Experience with Agile or SAFe delivery methodologies on large federal transformation programs
