Data Annotation Tech Jobs in Michigan (NOW HIRING)

We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day, roll up our sleeves, and build a better world-together. At Ford, we're all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves?
Do you believe modern order management technology is essential to delivering exceptional customer and dealer experiences? We do! As Ford continues to transform its global order management capabilities, we are building scalable, integrated, and cloud-enabled solutions that connect SAP S/4HANA, dealer-facing channels, legacy order systems, logistics partners, and enterprise platforms. These solutions help ensure the right parts and products reach the right customers at the right time.
We are seeking an experienced SAP S/4HANA Developer to support the design, development, integration, and operation of SAP S/4HANA order management capabilities. In this role, you will build modern SAP applications and extensions using ABAP Cloud, RAP, SAP Business Technology Platform, and CAP. You will also design and operate enterprise integrations using SAP Integration Suite, including Cloud Integration, API Management, Event Mesh, and Open Connectors.
This role requires strong hands-on experience in SAP S/4HANA development, clean-core extensibility, cloud-native engineering, API design, and enterprise integration. Working closely with product owners, business analysts, architects, and cross-functional engineering teams, you will translate order management business needs into secure, scalable, and reliable technical solutions. You will own quality end to end-from design and development through automated testing, CI/CD delivery, monitoring, performance tuning, and production support.

• Support modernization of legacy SAP integration technologies and migration toward scalable cloud-native integration approaches.

Engineering Quality, DevOps & Production Support

• Own solution quality end to end, including unit testing, integration testing, code reviews, performance tuning, monitoring, release management, and production support.
• Build and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines using Git-based workflows and technologies such as Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar tools.
• Apply automated testing practices using ABAP Unit, CAP test frameworks, iFlow testing, and related quality-engineering tools.
• Ensure solutions meet enterprise security, authorization, data-protection, compliance, and operational requirements.
• Monitor application and integration health using observability tools such as Dynatrace, Grafana, SAP Cloud ALM, or comparable platforms.
• Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement corrective and preventative actions to improve platform reliability and performance.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including solution designs, API contracts, integration specifications, support procedures, and operational runbooks.
• Mentor colleagues and contribute to raising SAP engineering standards, development practices, and technical capabilities across the team.
