• A strong software engineering foundation (e.g., Python, Java, TypeScript) with hands‑on experience in SAP BTP, integrations, and at least one major SAP domain.
• Experience designing and prototyping solutions, using modern tools and rapid‑iteration approaches.
• Comfort operating in a forward‑deployed, high‑ownership role, navigating ambiguity and driving work to completion.
• Cultural awareness and experience collaborating across geographies and nationalities.
• Fluency in English; additional languages, especially Arabic, are a plus.
