SAP BTP Developer

SAP Business Technology Platform Development

SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is SAP's cloud platform for building extensions, integrations, and analytics beyond the core S/4HANA system. It is also the cornerstone of SAP's clean core strategy. We place BTP developers who have built production CAP (Cloud Application Programming) applications, configured SAP Integration Suite, and deployed Fiori apps on BTP for enterprise SAP customers.

  • SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP), BTP services, and OData API development
  • SAP Integration Suite (CPI), API Management, and event-driven integration on SAP BTP
  • We screen for practical depth, not just certifications
  • Contract, contract-to-hire, or full-time — your choice
  • US and Canada talent. Shortlist in 5–10 business days.

About CRM Force

Boutique means something different when the person who built the company has done the work.

Saad Ahmed, Founder of CRM Force
Founded by a practitioner

Saad Ahmed spent 20 years as a CRM consultant, solution architect, and implementation lead — building marketing automation and CRM systems for clients from start-ups to publicly traded enterprises. He founded CRM Force to bring practitioner-led vetting to a space dominated by generalist agencies.

Two-step vetting

Every candidate goes through a two-step internal qualification process — reviewed by two separate evaluators before they reach you. We confirm experience, certifications, technical depth, and fit. You receive a shortlist, not a resume dump.

What we place

CRM consultants, architects, developers, and admins. Marketing automation specialists. RevOps leaders, business analysts, and project managers. If it touches the CRM or marketing technology stack, we place it. Contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire — across all seniority levels.

We Recruit for You

Three reasons companies choose us over a traditional recruiter — and what makes the difference in practice.

Vetted by Someone Who Has Done the Work

Saad Ahmed, founder of CRM Force, spent 20 years as a CRM Consultant and Solution Architect — building HubSpot implementations, designing data models, and running client engagements himself. When he reviews a candidate for your role, he is not reading a job description. He is evaluating whether someone can do work he has done himself. That distinction matters.

No Resume Dumps. A Shortlist You Can Act On.

You receive 3 to 5 pre-vetted candidates, each with our written assessment — why we believe they fit your role, where they are strong, and what to probe in the interview. Our internal process puts every candidate through two separate evaluation stages before they reach you. You only meet people who have cleared the bar.

Three Engagement Models. One Standard.

Contract for short and long-term engagements. Contract-to-hire when you want to try before you commit. Direct placement for permanent roles. Every model includes the same sourcing, multi-stage screening, skills assessment, and reference validation. The delivery vehicle changes — the standard does not.

Our Recruitment Process

Four steps from brief to shortlist — no surprises, no padding, no wasted interviews.

We Learn Your Requirements

A focused role briefing call — not a generic intake form. We ask about portal size, Hub configuration, seniority level, technical depth required, team structure, and what a genuinely great candidate looks like for your specific situation. The brief matters more than most clients expect.

We Search Our Network

We work our pre-built database of CRM and HubSpot professionals alongside targeted outreach to passive candidates who are not actively applying. The majority of the people we present are not on job boards — they are available to the right opportunity, if the right person asks.

You Receive a Shortlist

Typically 3 to 5 pre-vetted candidates, each with our written assessment — not just a resume. We tell you why we believe each person is right for your specific role, where they are strong, and what you should probe in the interview. You decide who moves forward.

We Support You to Offer

We coordinate interviews, facilitate debriefs, provide market-rate compensation benchmarks, and support you through the offer stage. The search does not end when we send the shortlist — it ends when you have the right person in the role.

When You Need an SAP BTP Developer

A few things we hear from clients before they reach out.

  • Building clean core extensions on BTP using CAP to avoid modifying the S/4HANA core
  • Integrating S/4HANA with third-party cloud applications using SAP Integration Suite (CPI)
  • Developing custom Fiori apps deployed on BTP as side-by-side extensions to S/4HANA
  • Implementing API Management for governed API exposure from S/4HANA and BTP services
  • Building workflow and automation applications on SAP BTP Workflow Management or Process Automation

How We Vet SAP BTP Developers

BTP development combines SAP platform knowledge with modern cloud development patterns. We assess both.

CAP (Cloud Application Programming Model) We confirm candidates have built production CAP applications — CDS data models, service definitions, handlers in Node.js or Java, OData V4 service exposure, and deployment to BTP Cloud Foundry or Kyma runtime.
BTP Services Proficiency We test hands-on experience with key BTP services — SAP HANA Cloud (database), SAP Destination service, SAP Connectivity service, SAP Authorization and Trust Management (XSUAA), and SAP Alert Notification service — required for production BTP application deployment.
Integration Suite / CPI We evaluate depth of experience with SAP Integration Suite — building iFlows in Cloud Platform Integration (CPI), using adapters for HTTP, SFTP, SAP S/4HANA, and third-party systems, and designing message transformation using XSLT and Groovy.
DevOps & Deployment We verify proficiency with BTP DevOps tooling — SAP Business Application Studio (BAS), Cloud Foundry CLI, BTP CLI, CI/CD pipelines using SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery, and Kyma runtime for containerised deployments.

Red Flags to Watch For

  • Generic cloud development experience but no SAP BTP or CAP model-specific knowledge
  • SAP Integration Suite experience limited to running pre-built iFlows — no custom iFlow development
  • No hands-on BTP service configuration — only theoretical understanding of the platform
  • Cannot explain SAP's clean core strategy and why extensions belong on BTP vs in S/4HANA ABAP

Whatever your sector, we know CRM talent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP)?
SAP BTP is SAP's unified cloud platform for database services (SAP HANA Cloud), application development (Cloud Application Programming Model, SAPUI5/Fiori), integration (SAP Integration Suite), analytics (SAP Analytics Cloud), and AI/automation (SAP AI Core, Build Process Automation). It is the designated home for all extensions and custom applications that SAP's clean core strategy places outside the S/4HANA core system.
What is the Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP)?
CAP is SAP's open-source, opinionated framework for building enterprise-grade applications on BTP. It uses Core Data Services (CDS) to define data models and service APIs, Node.js or Java for service implementation, and deploys to BTP Cloud Foundry or Kyma runtime. CAP applications use SAP S/4HANA APIs rather than modifying the S/4HANA system directly — keeping the core clean and upgradeable.
What is the difference between SAP Integration Suite and SAP BTP Integration?
SAP Integration Suite is the subscription service bundle that includes Cloud Platform Integration (CPI), API Management, Open Connectors, and Event Mesh — all running on SAP BTP. When people say "BTP integration," they usually mean SAP Integration Suite. CPI (also called SAP Cloud Integration) is the specific iFlow-based integration middleware within the suite.
Is BTP development experience in short supply?
Yes — significantly. BTP is relatively new and SAP's clean core mandate is driving rapid adoption, but the pool of experienced BTP developers (particularly CAP and Integration Suite) is small relative to demand. Organisations with S/4HANA Cloud or RISE deployments are finding BTP talent the hardest SAP skill to hire for in 2024-2025.
