Application Engineering Specialist - AI & Full Stack ( 4 to 7 Years )

At SAP, we keep it simple: you bring your best to us, and we'll bring out the best in you. We're builders touching over 20 industries and 80% of global commerce, and we need your unique talents to help shape what's next. You'll find a place where you can be yourself, prioritize your wellbeing, and truly belong. What's in it for you? Constant learning, skill growth, great benefits, and a team that wants you to grow and succeed.

Build

You'll design and deliver cloud-native features within SAP Logistics Management, using AI as a core method — not an occasional assistant — for building, reviewing, and operating software at scale. Your work will directly improve the reliability and intelligence of freight, warehousing, and supply chain processes for enterprise customers worldwide.

· Design, implement, and maintain cloud-native features in the SAP Logistics Management product using AI-augmented development methods and modern engineering practices

· Work with self-governing agent frameworks to investigate, prototype, and evaluate AI bots that reduce repetitive development and operational tasks

· Review and validate AI-generated code with a quality-first mindset — catching subtle defects, rational gaps, and security risks before they reach production

· Write precise, unambiguous requirements and acceptance criteria that enable high-quality AI-assisted implementation across the team

· Contribute to team-wide AI adoption by documenting findings, building reusable prompt patterns and skills, and sharing learnings proactively

· Participate in release decision processes, SAT testing, and quality engineering activities as a quality owner across the full delivery chain

· Support security remediation by interpreting OSC/SAST scan findings and spearheading resolution — including AI-assisted triage of security issues

· Collaborate across Germany, India, and China in an async-first, cross-cultural team model, externalizing knowledge in a form retrievable by teammates and AI tools alike

Bring

4 to 7 Years of Proficiency in at least one backend language (Java, TypeScript, Python, Go, or equivalent) with solid grip of clean code, SOLID principles, modularity, testability, and REST/OData API design

3+ years of professional software engineering experience in enterprise or cloud-native environments, with active daily use of AI coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Joule, Claude Code, or equivalent)

Has the ability to create prompts. Develops clear and effective prompts for tasks such as code generation, refactoring, debugging, and documentation. Knows how to manage context windows and improve prompts through multiple iterations.

Test-first instinct: defines acceptance criteria and writes tests before or alongside AI-generated implementation; does not rely on QE gates as the primary defect detection mechanism

Experience with CI/CD pipelines, feature toggle management, automated test coverage, and code quality tooling

Familiarity with cloud platforms (BTP, AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerized/microservice architectures

Strong written English; comfortable with async, cross-cultural collaboration across Germany, India, and China

Fluency in English is required. Experience with SAP BTP, SAP AI Core, or agent frameworks (LangChain, AutoGen, or similar) is a solid advantage.

Belong

You'll join SAP LGM, a global engineering team actively building AI agents and intelligent logistics applications. You'll work hands-on with agentic AI initiatives, serve as a quality multiplier for the team, and shape how AI-augmented development is practiced at scale. The team values written communication, clear thinking, and knowledge that is legible to both people and AI tools. If you take quality seriously, think in systems, and want to lead from the front on how enterprise software gets built with AI — this is the right place.
