Job description
SAP Technical Solution Architect role within IBM Consulting in Abu Dhabi focused on end-to-end technical architecture ownership across SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), SAP Joule / AI-enabled SAP, SAP Integration Suite, SAP Work Zone and other emerging SAP technologies. The role defines scalable, secure, and future-ready SAP architectures aligned with enterprise standards, security policies, and long-term digital roadmaps, including RISE with SAP, private cloud environments, hyperscaler integrations, and enterprise hybrid cloud strategies. Responsibilities include acting as the single point of accountability for technical architecture decisions, shaping solutions during pre-sales activities including RFP responses, proposal development, solution design, commercial modelling, effort estimation, and pricing input. The role governs architectural integrity across programs, ensures adherence to standards and best practices, provides technical oversight to identify and mitigate risks, and supports design reviews and quality assurance. It requires deep SAP S/4HANA expertise including clean-core principles and extensibility strategies, SAP BTP extension frameworks (CAP, RAP, ABAP Cloud), integration patterns, APIs, messaging, SAP Work Zone, Fiori UX architecture, and SAP Business AI / Joule capabilities. The role also requires enterprise-grade cloud security design, IAM concepts, and secure integration across SAP landscapes, while balancing innovation with operational stability in large-scale multi-vendor SAP ecosystems involving SAP and ISVs.
