# ABAP AI Developer at Conduct

- **Company:** Conduct
- **Location:** New York, NY
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-10-01
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-10-16
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/conduct/da69fbab-c0ac-49b3-a7ae-41a8ef79e4f5

## Job description

TL;DR: We're looking for exceptional ABAP engineers eager to build the AI layer for operating the world’s most complex IT setups. This role moves beyond just ABAP: you’ll develop software across the stack, design AI harnesses and agents, influence product direction, and work with customers.

## Why Conduct

Today, no single person fully understands their ERP setup: decades of customisation, millions of lines of ABAP, and undocumented changes from thousands of consultants has led to spiralling complexity. As a result, projects take years and migrations costs hundreds of millions. Conduct lets IT teams run faster. Teams collaborate alongside AI agents to accelerate their work, be it fit-gap analyses, hypercare support, deciphering business processes, writing ABAP, and more. We believe this is a generation-defining mission: by accelerating IT, businesses can evolve faster, unlocking productivity across industries. Major enterprises already trust us with their most critical systems, we just closed a $50M+ Series A from top-tier funds, and we're still early enough that what you build here defines the company. We're a small, talent-dense team doing our life's work at Conduct. We value ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration. If you bring that same drive, we'll make sure this is the place you do yours too.

Who We Hire We're looking for an developer who understands ABAP inside out, down into implementation and runtime details, and is excited about what becomes possible when you put AI on top of it. You'll stand out if you:

- Have 5+ years of hands-on ABAP and SAP development experience: technical consultant, ABAP developer, solutions architect, or similar
- Understand how SAP systems are actually structured beneath the surface: data models, BAPIs, IDocs, function modules, enhancement frameworks
- Have worked within or alongside large SAP implementations and migrations, understanding the complexities that arise from these
- Are eager to work beyond ABAP, including in writing AI agents, backend and frontend, infrastructure, etc.
- Bring strong, pragmatic engineering instincts and care about code that holds up in production at enterprise scale

We hire the best into our team based in NYC, wherever they come from. We believe diverse teams build better products and especially encourage underrepresented groups in tech to reach out.

## What You'll Own

We don’t box people by background or role: if you have a strength in an area, we’d love for you to contribute. This means everything from writing developing our connector in ABAP, developing AI agents that execute ABAP development tasks, to contributing to product direction and implementation. You'll speak to customers, shape product direction, and ship things that run inside some of the most complex enterprise environments in the world. As an SAP specialist you’ll catch the edge cases, constraints, and quirks that only someone with that experience would spot.

## Our Stack

Our stack prioritises what matters: shipping to customers—fast—without compromising on quality and engineering. Fundamentals are more important to us than familiarity with any technology or tool: if you're strong, we’re sure you'll pick it up fast. Here’s our setup:

- ABAP: Custom reports to integrate ABAP-based systems with the Conduct platform
- React, Vite, TanStack frontend
- Kotlin backend: Modern and expressive, paired with the maturity, tooling, and depth of the Java ecosystem. Lets us ship fast now without painting ourselves into a corner later.
- Temporal and PortKey: Absorbs infrastructure complexity around durable execution and enterprise-compliant LLM routing, so we can focus on shipping instead.
- Specialised LLM Harness: Built from hard-earned experience to give agents maximum freedom and intelligence without compromising on enterprise control, governance, or reliability.

## About Conduct

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Conduct provides an AI operating system that understands, operates, and modernizes complex legacy enterprise software systems, starting with SAP.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: London, United Kingdom
- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Jan Philipp Haas (Co-Founder & CEO), Henry Thompson (Co-Founder & CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Enterprise AI / Software Development
- **Target customers**: Large enterprises running complex legacy ERP systems (SAP), IT operations teams, and consulting firms managing system migrations.
- **Mission statement**: "To make IT the innovation powerhouse of every company."

## Products & Services
- **Conduct AI Platform**: An AI operating system that reads and understands custom code, dependencies, and configurations across enterprise systems. It enables system migration (e.g., S/4HANA) planning 83% faster, reduces delivery time for new features by 50%, and cuts manual system analysis by 80%. Users can "chat directly with their systems" to resolve major business issues in days instead of months.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Total Funding**: ~$72M ($12M Seed in Oct 2025, $60M Series A in June 2026)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Index Ventures (co-lead), Iconiq (co-lead), SAP (strategic investor), Creandum, Lucid Capital, Booom.
- **Key Customers**: Daimler Truck, Heidelberg Materials, DHL.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 240% YoY (to ~35 employees), actively hiring in London and NYC. Backed by top-tier VCs and a strategic investment from SAP itself.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Deep Moat**: Solves the "opacity problem" of legacy enterprise code. Decades of customization have made systems like SAP indecipherable to humans and AI agents alike. Conduct's ability to read and understand this code is a foundational layer that competitors cannot easily replicate.
- **Strategic Backing**: Having SAP as an investor is a powerful signal and provides unique market access.
- **Founding Team**: Founders are former Palantir employees, known for building mission-critical, high-complexity data systems.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current Priority**: Expanding engineering and go-to-market teams to scale the platform from its current customer base (Daimler, Heidelberg, DHL) to the broader Fortune 500. The company is also building a US presence (NYC office).
- **Direction**: To become the "AI operating system" for all enterprise software, moving beyond SAP to other legacy systems, and enabling AI agents to operate on any enterprise system.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & Team**: "Every team member is a builder at heart." The team includes alumni from Palantir, G-Research, Sana, and Sequoia. They describe the work as "one of the most complex problems of our generation."
- **Work Policy**: Hybrid offices in London (HQ) and New York City (NYC).
- **Benefits**: Top-of-market pay, tax-efficient share options, three meals a day, private health and dental, ClassPass, Cycle to Work scheme, pension, and two company offsites a year.
- **Engineering Culture**: Deeply technical and product-oriented. Open roles include Product Engineer, Backend Engineer, ABAP AI Developer, and AI Operations Engineer.
