About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Java / SAP Full Stack Developer to join our engineering team. In an environment where our SDLC is powered by cutting-edge AI tools (including generative AI for coding, testing, and documentation), your primary focus will shift from boilerplate implementation to high-level system architecture, critical evaluation of AI-generated code, and complex problem-solving across both Java cloud platforms and SAP ERP environments.

This role is for a developer who sees AI not as a replacement for skill, but as a force multiplier that demands greater judgment, technical depth, and prompt engineering expertise. Leveraging AI, you will work across the entire software development Lifecycle to enable connectivity into SAP ECC and S/4HANA systems—collaborating closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver high-quality, impactful solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• AI-Enhanced Development & SAP Connectivity: Design, develop, and maintain high-performance, scalable Java microservices (primarily using Spring Boot/Spring Framework). Utilize AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, internal tools) to increase speed and offload repetitive tasks.
• Critical AI Code Review & Optimization: Serve as the final technical authority on all AI-generated code. Rigorously review, debug, and optimize suggested code for performance, security, and adherence to SAP Clean Core standards and enterprise design patterns.
• System Architecture & Hybrid SAP Connectivity: Lead the design and implementation of distributed connectivity components across hybrid SAP ECC and S/4HANA estates, ensuring resilience, low latency, and clean data structures.
• Prompt Engineering for SDLC: Apply advanced prompt engineering techniques to maximize the efficacy of generative AI tools for writing comprehensive unit/integration tests, drafting technical documentation (Javadoc, API specs), and generating code refactoring suggestions.
• CI/CD and Observability: Oversee and enhance automated build, test, and deployment pipelines (CI/CD, Kubernetes/Docker) in a cloud environment (AWS/Azure/GCP), leveraging AI tools for proactive anomaly detection and monitoring.

Required Technical Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in developing enterprise-level applications using Java (8+ / modern Java).
• Proficiency with the Spring Ecosystem (Spring Boot, Spring Data, Spring Security).
• Deep understanding of Object-Oriented Design (OOD), software design patterns, and Microservices architecture.
• SAP Connectivity & Clean Core Architecture: Proven experience building with SAP Clean Core principles across both SAP ECC and S/4HANA environments.
• SAP Basis & Technical Integration Literacy: Familiarity with SAP Basis administration concepts, system architecture, RFC connections, secure gateways, and system integration troubleshooting.
• Strong practical experience with concurrency and multithreading in Java to build highly performant services.
• Proficiency in modern DevOps practices, including Git, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI).
• Solid understanding of front-end technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, and modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., ReactJS, MobX).
• Experience with relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Redis).

Essential AI-Era Skills (The "New Bar")

• AI Tool Fluency: Demonstrated ability to proficiently use AI-powered developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, CodeWhisperer) in a production environment.
• Code Judgment: Proven track record of evaluating and overriding AI-generated suggestions that are technically correct but architecturally flawed or non-compliant with security and performance best practices.
• Prompting Proficiency: Experience writing clear, contextual, and effective prompts for generative AI to produce usable code, tests, or documentation.
• Adaptability & Learning: High degree of curiosity and a proactive approach to learning new AI tools and techniques that continuously reshape the development workflow.
• Domain & Architectural Focus: The capacity to abstract away from low-level coding details to focus on high-value business logic and systemic architectural integrity.
• Cloud-First Mentality (AWS): A strong bias towards cloud-first development, with specific expertise in architecture and deployment on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Preferred Skills and Qualifications:

• Experience with message queues (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ).
• Knowledge of NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Cassandra).
• Understanding of agile development methodologies (Scrum, Kanban)
• Familiarity with test-driven development (TDD) or behavior-driven development (BDD).
• Experience in the automation or SaaS industry.
• Contributions to open-source projects or a strong GitHub portfolio.

Why Join Us?

• Competitive compensation package, comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits.
• Opportunity to work on innovative and impactful products that are transforming industries.
• Generous paid time off, holidays and flexible work arrangements.
• Work with a highly skilled, passionate, and diverse  team of engineers.
• Opportunities for professional growth and development.
• Collaborative and supportive team environment.
• “One Redwood” company culture.
