Job Description
About the role
This is a short‑term contract role focused on a critical migration project. We are looking for a senior engineer to play a key part in the migration of a front‑end React application and backend SAP/CAP middleware application from the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP)/Cloud Foundry environment to an external cloud server.
The primary objective of this project is to ensure that throughout and after the migration, the application maintains seamless authentication and interaction with the client’s SAP S4/HANA system.
About you
You are a seasoned and pragmatic Senior Engineer who thrives on tackling well‑defined, complex technical challenges and excels at understanding, dissecting, and re‑platforming critical systems. More specifically, you are someone who:
Finds satisfaction in a successful migration.
You see a project involving moving a critical application from a proprietary environment to a standard cloud server as an engaging challenge. You have a knack for methodically planning the move, anticipating roadblocks, and ensuring everything reconnects and functions perfectly in its new home.
Specialises at the intersection of JavaScript and enterprise systems.
Your sweet spot is bridging the gap between modern full‑stack applications (Node.js, React, TypeScript) and complex enterprise backends like SAP. You may not necessarily be an SAP developer, but you have experience consuming its data and services, particularly via oData APIs.
Is an autonomous project owner.
As a contractor, you are a self‑starter who can take ownership of a technical initiative from start to finish. You are comfortable navigating technical ambiguity, making informed decisions, and driving towards the project’s deliverables with minimal hand‑holding.
Is pragmatic and outcome‑focused.
Your goal is to find the most direct and robust path to a successful migration. You align with our core value that "the simplest solution is probably the best," avoiding unnecessary complexity to ensure a stable and maintainable outcome.
Communicates with clarity and purpose.
You understand the importance of clear, concise communication ("straight talking"). You can confidently articulate the migration plan, report on progress, and explain technical trade‑offs to stakeholders, ensuring everyone remains aligned throughout the engagement.
Required Skills
7+ years of senior‑level experience in full‑stack JavaScript development, with expert proficiency in Node.js, TypeScript, and React.
Proven experience in designing and developing applications that integrate with SAP systems using oData API.
Demonstrated experience with Okta, including identity provider migration and management.
Strong experience with cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and DevOps practices, including Docker and CI/CD pipelines.
A solid understanding of RESTful APIs and microservices architecture.
Excellent problem‑solving abilities and the capacity to navigate ambiguous technical challenges.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to articulate technical plans to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
Nice‑to‑haves
Hands‑on experience with the SAP Cloud Application Programming (CAP) model.
Experience with SAP CDS views and related concepts.
Bonus: SAP development experience, although integration experience is ok.
