About SAP Fioneer
SAP Fioneer was founded in 2021 as a joint venture between SAP and Dediq with one purpose: to provide the financial services industry with the software it needs to be future ready. We accelerate digital transformation in banking and insurance through a portfolio of cloud-native solutions, built on SAP Business Technology Platform and shaped in close co-innovation with our customers.
About the role
As a Principal CAP & BTP Cloud Native Engineer you take end-to-end ownership of backend topics across our cloud-native banking and development bank solutions. You design and build with the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP), SAP BTP services, ABAP Cloud and RAP. You set the bar for architecture quality, you deliver, and you make the people around you better.
This is a hands-on engineering role. We expect you to write code, shape architecture and own outcomes, not just produce slides.
Recruiting partner
As part of our strategic partnership, okadis and SAP Fioneer co-develop cloud-ready banking solutions on SAP BTP, and we're hiring a Principal CAP & BTP Cloud Native Engineer.

- Integrate backend services with S/4HANA, RAP business objects and external APIs via Destination Service and Cloud Connector.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (MTAR build, Cloud Foundry deployment, trunk based development) and ensure clean environment separation.
- Safeguard quality through code reviews, automated tests (unit, integration, contract) and consistent coding guidelines.
- Document architectural decisions as ADRs and share knowledge through pair programming, mentoring and brown bag sessions.
- Partner with Product Owners and Solution Architects to translate business requirements into solutions that can actually be shipped.

- Solid grasp of SAP integration patterns: RAP, ABAP Cloud, SAP Integration Suite, BTP ABAP Environment.
- Architecture craft: Domain Driven Design, clean layering, API design and versioning, security and data protection (GDPR) by design.
- Confident with Git, trunk based workflows, pull request reviews and modern engineering tooling.
- You take ownership, deliver under uncertainty and raise risks early and clearly.
- High travel readiness within DACH.
