Advanced SAP BAIP Developer - AI & Agentic Applications

Company: Novo Global Business Services (GBS) Your impact begins here You will build AI-enabled applications on the SAP Business AI Platform (BAIP, formerly SAP BTP) that put Joule Skills, custom agents and external AI models to work on real business processes. As SAP BAIP Developer – AI & Agentic Applications, you will decide where low-code is enough and where pro-code is needed, and deliver both in line with Clean Core principles and enterprise compliance standards. Your work gives colleagues practical, trusted AI they can use today to work faster and make better-informed decisions. What you’ll bring You know SAP development well and have taken AI from idea to production. To succeed here, you will bring: 4–8 years of SAP development experience, including at least 2 years on SAP BTP/BAIP. At least one production generative AI or agentic use case you have helped deliver. Hands-on experience with SAP BAIP Cloud Foundry, CAP (Node.js), SAP HANA Cloud, SAPUI5/Fiori Elements, SAP Build Process Automation and SAP Work Zone. Experience securing SAP BAIP applications with XSUAA, IAS, OAuth 2.0 and role-based access control (RBAC). Hands-on experience with SAP AI Core, SAP AI Launchpad, SAP Generative AI Hub, Joule Studio and Agent Builder, including building Joule Skills and agents. Hands-on experience building pro-code agents with SAP Cloud SDK for AI on SAP AI Core. Practical experience with MCP servers and Agent-to-Agent patterns, connecting SAP and external agents. Experience integrating external LLMs and AI services through APIs, including authentication, cost control and guardrails. Practical experience with RAG and document grounding, prompt engineering and AI evaluation, and with AI-assisted development (Joule for Developers, ABAP MCP Server, coding agents in SAP Business Application Studio (BAS) and VS Code). Practical experience with Git and CI/CD. The ability to explain clearly when to use a Joule assistant and when to use an autonomous agent. Experience of working in a regulated environment (GxP, GDPR, SOX) is an advantage. What you’ll do You will design, build and run AI applications on SAP BAIP, from Joule-native extensions to applications that use third-party models and agents. Build and deploy custom Joule Skills and agents in Joule Studio and Agent Builder, grounded in SAP and non-SAP data. Integrate external LLMs and AI agents into SAP BAIP applications through SAP Generative AI Hub or direct provider APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure AI), handling authentication, token and cost management, streaming, fallback and guardrails. Develop pro-code agents with SAP Cloud SDK for AI on SAP AI Core where low-code reaches its limits. Expose and consume tools over MCP servers, and apply Agent-to-Agent patterns so external agents can act on SAP data and SAP BAIP applications can call external agents. Implement RAG and document grounding, prompt engineering and evaluation, and use AI-assisted development (Joule for Developers, ABAP MCP Server, coding agents in BAS and VS Code) in your own delivery. Deliver core SAP BAIP applications with CAP (Node.js), CDS, OData V2/V4, SAP HANA Cloud, SAPUI5/Fiori Elements, SAP Work Zone, SAP Build Process Automation and MTA on SAP BAIP Cloud Foundry, secured with XSUAA, IAS, OAuth 2.0 and RBAC, and compliant with GxP, GDPR and SOX requirements. Who you’ll work with You will join the SAP Emerging Technologies team, part of SAP Eco PM&TS within Enterprise IT & Quality. The team drives innovation through the SAP Business AI Platform (BAIP), automation and cloud technologies, delivering scalable digital solutions that support business transformation and accelerate value creation. Enterprise IT & Quality colleagues work across the Novo value chain, stay close to stakeholders and help deliver trusted technology, high quality and responsible ways of working. In this role, you will work with colleagues across SAP and business teams to turn AI ideas into applications that are secure, compliant and ready to use. Rather than being tied to a single business area, you will deliver AI value across SAP Eco PM&TS, with a strong focus on Joule. You will report to the Associate Director, SAP Emerging Technologies. What you can expect here You will work at the forefront of business AI on SAP, where curiosity and practical delivery go together.
