The role involves acting as a key technical developer within an established application support practice. Working on a highly secure S/4HANA platform, you will develop custom enhancements, reports, interfaces, and CDS views, while debugging complex code to keep critical systems running smoothly.

Working closely with functional consultants to translate business requirements into clean technical solutions

On-site presence supporting secure defence infrastructure in the Reading area
