[Hiring] Software Engineer @RHONDOS Inc

Role Description

This role is for a capable, self-directed software engineer who takes ownership of the quality and evolution of production ABAP code. You are a skilled practitioner — someone who understands what makes software good, applies computer engineering fundamentals with discipline, and raises the standard of the codebase through every commit.

PowerConnect sits at the intersection of SAP, security, and observability. The work is technically deep, the customers are large and exacting, and the stakes are real. This role is for someone who finds that motivating.

What You'll Own

• ABAP Development & Feature Delivery:
  • Delivering new features and enhancements as directed by the product organization, with clean, well-annotated, vulnerability-free code.
  • Applying both functional and object-oriented programming principles with fluency.
  • Writing code that others can read, review, and build on.
  • Ensuring every piece of code you ship is free from security vulnerabilities.
• Software Development Lifecycle Ownership:
  • Writing and maintaining unit tests and contributing to integration testing coverage.
  • Participating actively in code review — both receiving feedback and providing it for your peers.
  • Contributing to transport management and release packaging.
  • Supporting root cause analysis and resolution when defects surface in production.
• Product Support:
  • Providing technical escalation support for complex customer issues that require ABAP-level diagnosis.
  • Translating customer-reported problems into clear, reproducible defects.
  • Building documentation and tooling that reduces the frequency and cost of escalations over time.
• Continuous Learning & Technical Growth:
  • Actively stay current with modern ABAP practices.
  • Contribute to internal knowledge sharing.
  • Engage with the broader RHONDOS mission beyond your immediate codebase.

What Success Looks Like

• Code Quality: Code you ship is clean, annotated, and passes review without significant rework.
• Delivery: Features and fixes land on schedule.
• SDLC Contribution: Tests accompany your code. Transports are clean.
• Support: Customer issues you own are diagnosed clearly and resolved with urgency.
• Growth: You are demonstrably more capable at the end of each year than at the beginning.

Qualifications

• Solid, demonstrable proficiency in ABAP — classical and modern language syntax and development principles.
• Deep proficiency in ABAP Objects: interfaces, inheritance, class-based exceptions, and design patterns.
• Strong ABAP Dictionary skills: transparent tables, views, data elements, domains, table types, lock objects, and search helps.
• Hands-on experience with RFC and parallel processing.
• HTTP/REST integration from ABAP and serializing/parsing JSON and XML payloads at high volume.
• Performance-minded development for high-volume data extraction.
• Understanding of core computer engineering principles.
• Experience working across the full SDLC.
• Familiarity with SAP security concepts relevant to ABAP development.
• Ability to write code that others can read.
• Curiosity and the discipline to act on it.

Strong Preference

• Experience with modern ABAP practices.
• Familiarity with SAP observability, monitoring, or security tooling.
• Experience in a product company.
• Exposure to DevOps or CI/CD practices in a SAP context.
• Experience with AI-assisted development tooling.
• Working knowledge of observability protocols and platforms.
• Experience querying and monitoring SAP HANA via ADBC / native SQL.
• Familiarity with SAP integration and replication technologies.

What You're Not Accountable For

• Product direction and roadmap prioritization.
• Architecture and security posture decisions that carry company-level risk.
• Commercial outcomes.
