Quick apply — this platform usually takes a CV and a few fields.
“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (7)
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily custom ABAP development (15-1252 Software Developers), but the emphasis on integration configuration, interface monitoring, and technical design documentation introduces some systems-analyst character (15-1211). Developer work is the clear majority.
The posting names Protective Life but does not explicitly state a city; Protective Life's headquarters is Birmingham, AL, which is used as the work location.
A Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field is stated as required; a Master's is listed as 'a plus' and is therefore preferred only.
SPDD/SPAU/SPAU_ENHANCE experience (SAP upgrade tooling) is listed under required skills but represents a process/tool rather than a distinct named product; it is captured implicitly under the S/4HANA and ABAP requirements rather than as a standalone skill.
The 'desired' section lists 'vals/subs (GGB1, GGB0)' — these are SAP transaction codes for substitution/validation configuration; captured under the BRF+ preferred skill as the closest named tool; the transaction codes themselves are not a separately marketed technology.
Agile Methodology appears under desired skills but is a methodology, not a concrete technology, so it is omitted per extraction rules.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): ALV Reporting.
