SAP Automation (VBA/SAP GUI) Engineer

Ciklum is looking for a SAP Automation (VBA/SAP GUI) Engineer to join our team full-time in the Czech Republic.

We are a custom product engineering company that supports both multinational organizations and scaling startups to solve their most complex business challenges. With a global team of over 4,000 highly skilled developers, consultants, analysts and product owners, we engineer technology that redefines industries and shapes the way people live.

About the role:

As a SAP Automation (VBA/SAP GUI) Engineer, become a part of a cross-functional development team engineering experiences of tomorrow

We are looking for software engineers with experience in SAP GUI automation and scripting to join our Model Production Digital team.
The team builds and runs the digital ecosystem that Client Model Production depends on producing physical models.
A significant part of this ecosystem is a portfolio of Excel/VBA tools that automate SAP processes through SAP GUI Scripting.
These tools support critical activities such as production scheduling, BOM uploads, capacity management, and production order follow up.

As part of the transformation from SAP ECC Galaxy to SAP S/4HANA, several of these tools are at risk of being affected.
Each tool therefore needs to be reverse engineered, adapted, or reimplemented for S/4HANA, tested and verified together with the business users who depend on it.

Responsibilities:

• Remediate VBA / SAP GUI scripting tools for S/4HANA: reverse-engineer the business process and tool logic together with stakeholders, re-implement the SAP scripting, if necessary, test, resolve issues and verify with business users
• Maintain and support the existing legacy landscape: Excel/VBA, Access, SQL Server, SharePoint, including bug fixes and enhancements triaged via our support system ServiceNow, prioritized with business stakeholders
• SAP integration maintenance: keeping VBA-based SAP GUI scripting working across SAP upgrades and locale changes
• User access management: Familiarity with AD Groups, SharePoint groups, SQL Server user tables (manual sync)
• Data integrity: maintaining data pipelines (timestamp triggers, PowerBI dataflow refresh schedules)
• Documentation: maintaining the Confluence pages for legacy tools with key learnings, details of the changes and implementations made, and a recorded walkthrough for each business-critical tool
• Contribute to gradual modernization: supporting the migration efforts from Excel-based tooling toward cloud-native solutions

Requirements:

• Expert-level Excel VBA: most of the portfolio is Excel-based with embedded VBA. Must be able to write and debug complex macros, including large, undocumented, inherited code
• Experience with SAP GUI Scripting with VBA (automating SAP transactions)
• Practical workbook engineering: macro-enabled workbooks (.xlsm) with named ranges, Power Query and protected sheets, and managing versions across development and production
• Solid working knowledge of Microsoft SQL Server and Access: writing and optimizing T-SQL, relational schema design, on-premise SQL administration basics, and working across multiple environments
• Functional understanding of SAP ECC / S/4HANA in a manufacturing and production context
• Clear communication with technical and non-technical manufacturing users: Much of the reverse engineering relies on conversations with business users to understand how the tools work and how they are used in practice. Empathy and a user-focused mindset are important, as issues with these tools can have a direct impact on manufacturing operations and the people who depend on them
• Self-sufficient and knowledge sharing mindset

Desirable:

• Czech language B1+ — end users speak Czech, documentation & tools partly in Czech
• Experience with Git/GitHub
• Azure — Logic Apps, Key Vault, Data Factory (our growing cloud layer)
   

What’s in it for you?

• Flexible working hours
• Home office option
• 5 weeks of holiday
• 5 sick days
• Multisport Card
• Meal allowance
• Internal trainings including workshops and seminars
• Paid certifications and technical as well as soft-skills training
• Possibility to participate in international conferences
• Fresh fruit, coffee, and a weekly company breakfast in the office
• Loyalty bonus after 5, 10, 15 and more years with the company
• Referral bonus programme
• Corporate events including team building, outdoor activities, Christmas party, health week, summer ice cream, and more
• Hybrid and remote working options available across our Czech offices in Prague, Hradec Králové, and Zlín
