We're hiring Founding Engineers with deep SAP expertise to help build our core platform and AI Agents that operate reliably on massive, complex enterprise codebases. The ideal candidate has deep experience in ABAP, BTP, or both — and is equally curious about technologies outside the SAP ecosystem. You might contribute to open source projects (ABAPGit, ABAP for VSCode, OpenTelemetry), experiment with AI tools, or build side projects in Python or TypeScript. You're excited to work at the intersection of SAP domain expertise and modern software engineering.

• SAP systems & integrations: Build the deep integrations with SAP environments—understanding the nuances of how custom code, configurations, and objects are structured and interconnected across the system

• Agent tooling: Develop the tools and interfaces that let agents navigate, query, and operate on SAP codebases: turning complex system metadata into structured representations agents can reason over

• Agent reliability: Design evaluation frameworks and feedback loops that systematically improve agent performance on SAP-specific code understanding and transformation

• Platform engineering: Ship features end-to-end, collaborating closely with the broader engineering team on backend services, integrations, and the products customers use daily

• Recursive self-improvement: We use Nova to build Nova. You'll be a power user of your own tools, and obsessed with improving our iteration speed by improving our own platform

• 5+ years in SAP technical roles, with deep expertise in one or more of: ABAP development, SAP BTP, BPA, or Integration Suite

• Strong knowledge of SAP ECC, S/4HANA, and Clean Core principles

• Programming proficiency beyond ABAP (e.g., JavaScript, Python, Groovy, Java)

• Experience with RAP model, CAP, SAP Build Apps, or Event Mesh

• Contributions to open source—in or outside the SAP ecosystem

• Interest in or hands-on experience with AI/ML technologies

• Experience working at a startup or in fast-paced product environments

• Familiarity with automated testing frameworks for ABAP or BTP

• Small, mission-driven team shipping production AI every sprint.

• Competitive salary, meaningful equity, full health, dental, and vision coverage.

• Inclusive culture that prizes curiosity, impact, and continuous learning.

Even if every box isn’t checked, we encourage 0→1 builders, fast learners, and team players to apply.
