calls by providing technical analysis, recovery actions, and clear updates.\n\nEnsure SAP infrastructure services remain stable, secure, resilient, and aligned with operational requirements.\n\nAutomation and Engineering\nDesign, develop, and maintain automation for SAP infrastructure operations using tools such as Ansible, PowerShell, Azure CLI, Bicep, Terraform, GitHub Actions, or equivalent technologies.\n\nAutomate repetitive operational activities such as patching, server validation, health checks, backup checks, disk/filesystem cleanup, monitoring checks, and reporting.\n\nBuild reusable scripts, templates, runbooks, and pipelines to reduce manual effort and improve consistency.\n\nIdentify opportunities to move BAU activities toward zero-touch or low-touch operations.\n\nPromote infrastructure-as-code practices across the SAP estate.\n\nAzure Platform Management\nManage Azure infrastructure components supporting SAP workloads, including virtual machines, disks, storage accounts, NetApp Files, networking, backup, monitoring, identities, and automation services.\n\nSupport Azure resource lifecycle management, including provisioning, scaling, rightsizing, tagging, cleanup, and decommissioning.\n\nReview Azure platform configuration for performance, resilience, security, and cost efficiency.\n\nWork with architecture and cloud platform teams to implement approved design patterns and operational standards.\n\nCost Optimization\nIdentify and drive Azure cost optimisation opportunities across the SAP estate.\n\nAnalyse resource utilisation and recommend rightsizing, scheduling, reservation, storage optimisation, backup retention changes, and decommissioning opportunities.\n\nSupport cost governance by ensuring new infrastructure requests are justified, reviewed, and aligned with the platform’s cost control principles.\n\nContribute to monthly cost reviews, savings tracking, and optimisation reporting.\n\nResilience, Backup, and Disaster Recovery\nSupport high availability and disaster recovery design, testing, and operational readiness for SAP workloads.\n\nValidate backup coverage, restore readiness, monitoring, and operational recovery procedures.\n\nIdentify gaps in backup, replication, failover, and recovery processes and propose improvements.\n\nParticipate in resiliency tests and ensure outcomes, risks, and follow-up actions are documented and tracked.\n\nPatching and Lifecycle Management\nSupport OS patching, SAP infrastructure patching, kernel updates, and related maintenance activities.\n\nAutomate and standardise patching processes for SAP landscapes, including both HA and Non-HA environments.\n\nEnsure pre-checks, post-checks, validation steps, rollback plans, and documentation are consistently followed.\n\nSupport OS upgrade and migration initiatives, including RHEL lifecycle activities.\n\nMonitoring, Incident Reduction, and Problem Management\nImprove monitoring, alerting, and operational dashboards for SAP infrastructure.\n\nAnalyse recurring incidents and alerts to identify permanent fixes.\n\nReduce alert noise, manual intervention, and repeated service interruptions.\n\nDrive problem management actions through root-cause analysis, preventive fixes, documentation, and automation.\n\nDocumentation and Governance\nMaintain accurate technical documentation, operational runbooks, architecture diagrams, SOPs, change records, and Jira updates.\n\nEnsure all work is tracked clearly through Jira, ServiceNow, or agreed team processes.\n\nFollow change, incident, access, security, and operational governance processes.\n\nProvide clear communication on status, blockers, risks, timelines, and closure updates.\n\nCollaboration and Stakeholder Management\nWork closely with SAP Basis, application teams, architecture, cloud platform, security, monitoring, backup, network, and vendor teams.\n\nProvide technical input into design discussions, project planning, operational readiness, and implementation reviews.\n\nSupport junior engineers through knowledge sharing, technical guidance, and review of operational practices.\n\nBuild trusted relationships with stakeholders through reliable delivery, proactive communication, and strong ownership.\n\nRequired Skills and Experience:\nTechnical Skills\nStrong experience managing enterprise infrastructure workloads on Microsoft Azure.\n\nGood understanding of SAP infrastructure concepts, including SAP application servers, HANA databases, Web Dispatchers, HA/DR, backups, and operational dependencies.\n\nStrong Linux administration experience, preferably RHEL.\n\nExperience with automation tools such as Ansible,

clustering, failover, replication, and disaster recovery concepts.\n\nExperience with infrastructure monitoring, alerting, incident management, and problem management.\n\nExperience working with Jira, ServiceNow, GitHub, or similar delivery and operational tooling.\n\nOperational Skills\nStrong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills.\n\nAbility to manage incidents, changes, risks, and operational escalations.\n\nAbility to identify recurring issues and convert them into permanent fixes or automation opportunities.\n\nStrong documentation and runbook creation skills.\n\nAbility to work in structured change windows and support critical production activities.\n\nStrong understanding of service availability, SLA, operational risk, and customer impact.\n\nBehavioural Skills\nStrong ownership and accountability.\n\nDelivery-focused and outcome-oriented mindset.\n\nProactive approach to communication, risk management, and issue resolution.\n\nAbility to work independently with
