Testimonials
Trusted by teams that hire with us
-
LATAM has been a gold mine for talent. Our CloudTask hires understand our company culture and mission, and they connect with our customers in a way that drives high NPS and CX scores.
David Barrett CEO, Expensify -
At first we were an SF-based team only. Then I met Amir Reiter back in 2018. After visiting Medellín, I knew LATAM would be key to our growth and success.
Tim Zheng CEO, Apollo.io -
After meeting my CX and CS team in Medellín, we immediately loved the culture and the work ethic. As a European-HQ company, we found LATAM to be perfect to service our American clients.

SKILLS
Top skills to look for in an SAP developer
Knowing ABAP syntax is the entry ticket. These are the skills that decide whether your custom code stays fast, upgradeable and safe for finance and operations.
-
Clean ABAP
Readable classes and methods instead of long procedural reports, with names and structure the next developer can follow.
-
Enhancements over modifications
Extends standard behavior through the enhancement framework and BAdIs, so upgrades do not overwrite your changes.
-
Performance on large tables
Selects only what is needed, avoids database calls inside loops and pushes work to the database where it belongs.
-
Fiori and UI5
Builds apps on OData services with a clean split between the interface and the back end logic.
-
Integration patterns
Chooses between IDocs, BAPIs, RFCs and APIs based on volume and failure handling, and monitors what fails.
-
Change control discipline
Moves every change through transports and testing, because a mistake in SAP touches finance and operations at once.
-
Working with functional consultants
Turns a functional specification into a technical design and asks the right questions when the specification is unclear.
-
Tests and documentation
Writes unit tests where they pay off and a technical note for every custom object, so the system does not depend on one person.
HIRING GUIDE
How to hire SAP developers
An SAP developer hire lives or dies on discipline: custom code that survives upgrades, respects change control and does not slow down the processes finance and operations depend on. This guide covers what the role does, how it differs from a functional consultant, what to test and the red flags.
What does an SAP developer do?
Writes and maintains the custom code around your SAP system: ABAP reports, enhancements, interfaces, forms and Fiori apps, plus the integrations that move data between SAP and other systems.
Day to day that means turning functional specifications into technical designs, fixing custom code that breaks after a change, and moving every change safely through your landscape.
SAP developer or functional consultant: which do you need?
A functional consultant knows a business area in SAP, such as finance, sales or logistics, and configures the system to match how the business works. A developer writes code where configuration is not enough.
If your problem is how a process is set up in SAP, you need a functional consultant. If it is a custom report, an interface, an enhancement or an app, you need a developer. Tell us which areas the code touches so the search is filtered on them.
Custom code that survives upgrades
The most expensive SAP custom code is the kind that modifies standard objects. Every upgrade or migration then turns into an archaeology project.
A strong candidate extends standard behavior through enhancements and clearly separated custom objects, and can explain how their code would behave after an upgrade.
Integration with the rest of your systems
SAP rarely runs alone. Orders, invoices and master data flow to and from CRMs, warehouses, banks and reporting tools, and each interface is a place where data can be lost or duplicated.
Ask how they have built and monitored interfaces: which technology they used, how failed messages were reprocessed and who was alerted when something stopped.
What to test in an SAP developer interview
Give a small task close to your real work: a report that reads from a large table with selection criteria, or an enhancement to a standard process. Read it for database access inside loops, naming and how errors are handled.
Then ask how they would add a field to a standard transaction or app. A strong answer uses an enhancement point and explains how it would be tested and transported.
Red flags in SAP developer candidates
Modifying standard code. A candidate who reaches for a modification before an enhancement will make every upgrade harder.
Database calls inside loops. Code that selects row by row will slow down the processes that run on your largest tables.
Skipping transports. Anyone comfortable changing things directly in a productive system is a risk to finance and operations.
No questions about the specification. A developer who builds exactly what an unclear document says, without asking, will deliver the wrong thing on time.
Nothing written down. Custom objects with no documentation turn the system into something only one person understands.
How much does it cost to hire an SAP developer?
It depends on seniority, the scope of the work and the country the person works from, and any single number describes one scenario and calls it a price.
What is worth understanding is the shape. On Managed Staffing it is one all-in monthly rate per person, with payments, compliance and replacement cover inside it. On Direct Hire it is a one-time fee of 20% to 30% of first-year base salary and the person goes on your payroll. We quote your number before you interview anyone.
Why hire an SAP developer in Latin America?
Overlap. Development runs on code review, standups and incidents, and Latin America and the Caribbean share most of the US working day, so those happen in real time instead of overnight.
The second reason is communication. Your developer writes pull request descriptions, technical notes and status updates in English, and we screen English live on a call.
How does CloudTask hire for this role?
You send your SAP release, the areas the code touches, the interfaces and apps involved and the hours you need covered. We source against that brief and come back with 3 to 5 matched profiles within 48 hours, each one screened on a live call and checked against the stack you named.
You interview and choose. On Managed Staffing we handle payments, compliance and onboarding and stay involved with check-ins. On Direct Hire the person joins your payroll from day one. Both carry a replacement guarantee: 24 months on Managed Staffing, 6 months on Direct Hire.
