We're builders touching over 20 industries and 80% of global commerce, and we need your unique talents to help shape what's next. The work is challenging - but it matters. You'll find a place where you can be yourself, prioritize your wellbeing, and truly belong. What's in it for you? Constant learning, skill growth, great benefits, and a team that wants you to grow and succeed.\nPURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES\nWhat do you think about joining an innovative, engaged, and collaborative development environment, building a cutting-edge platform for big data with a team of experts worldwide? The Big Data Fabric Services (BDFS) enables SAP Lines of Business and customers to easily enter the world of Big Data and enable customers to integrate SAP data with external partner data engineering tools and non-SAP data.\nWe are looking for a Developer / Platform Engineer with strong backend development skills and working knowledge of cloud-native application development.\nThe role is suitable for an experienced engineer who can contribute independently to development, troubleshooting, quality, and delivery of platform services.\nThis is not a data scientist role. The team builds and operates platform services that enable scalable, secure, and reliable data storage and access.\nTHE PRODUCT\nThe major goal of BDFS is to enable SAP Lines of Business (LoB’s) and customers to enter the world of big data easily. To achieve that objective, we’re delivering Apache Spark as a service, a multi-language engine for executing data engineering, data science, and machine learning on single-node machines or clusters (Kubernetes in our case). We’re enabling data to be consumed from multiple hyperscaler agnostic data sources using the Delta Sharing communication protocol on top of the HANA Data Lake File Service (HDLFS), an SAP-managed cloud object storage that allows storage and consumption of data without multiple layers of ETL (Extract Transform and Load) systems and intermediary data storages (Lakehouse architecture).\nWHAT YOU’LL DO\nAs a Senior Platform Engineer, you will be responsible for architecture, design, coding, testing, troubleshooting, and quality assurance activities in a development team.\nIn your day-to-day work, your tasks will include:\nDrive architecture and technical design discussions.\nDesign scalable, reliable, secure, and maintainable cloud-native backend services.\nOwn complex technical topics from analysis and design to implementation and delivery.\nContribute to platform architecture decisions around service lifecycle, provisioning, credentials, configuration, resiliency, observability, and operational readiness.\nDevelop backend services and platform components using Java and related technologies.\nWork on distributed applications and services running in cloud/container environments.\nEvaluate technical options, identify trade-offs, and recommend practical architecture solutions.\nContribute to secure-by-design architecture and platform engineering practices. \nEnsure platform services follow security, reliability, scalability, and operational best practices. \nContribute to architecture discussions around authentication, authorization, secrets management, encryption, and secure multi-tenant design. \n Support observability, monitoring, logging, alerting, and operational readiness practices for platform services.\nBuild PoCs and validate technical approaches for complex platform topics.\nAnalyze, troubleshoot, and resolve complex production and development issues.\nReview code, design documents, and implementation approaches to ensure high engineering quality.\nMentor and guide junior developers and help improve technical maturity within the team.\nSupport Product team and Architects in technical discussions and planning.\nCollaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders across locations.\nWork in an agile team that uses the Scrum framework to self-organize and work towards development goals.\nContribute to engineering practices around clean code, CI/CD, testing, automation, security, observability, and operational excellence.\nWHAT YOU BRING\nRequired Skills\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Systems Analysis, Information Technology, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or related technical fields.\nAdvanced or fluent English.\nStrong hands-on experience in backend/platform engineering.\nExcellent programming skills, preferably with Java and/or Go.\nStrong understanding of algorithms, data structures, space complexity, and run-time complexity.\nStrong understanding of object-oriented design, design patterns, clean code, and software architecture principles.\nExperience designing and building cloud-native distributed systems.\nExperience with Kubernetes, containerized applications, and cloud deployment models.\nExperience with at least one hyperscaler or cloud ecosystem such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.\nStrong understanding of REST APIs, service integrations, distributed application design, and failure handling.\nAbility to define and evaluate architecture trade-offs around scalability, availability, reliability, maintainability, security, and cost.\nAbility to troubleshoot complex software and platform issues using technical and product knowledge.\nExperience with CI/CD, code review, test-driven development, and modern software delivery practices.\nKnowledge of software quality assurance and test methodologies, including unit testing, integration testing, and automation.\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills.\nAbility to mentor developers and support technical decision-making.\nAbility to quickly learn new areas of knowledge and drive topics independently.\nHigh level of ownership, commitment, team spirit, flexibility, and initiative.\nNICE TO HAVE\nExperience with cloud object storage services such as AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, or Google Cloud Storage.\nExposure to Object Store, service broker patterns, provisioning flows, credential handling, or service lifecycle management.\nExperience with infrastructure automation tools such as Terraform, Helm, or similar.\nExperience with Linux, scripting, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering.\nExperience with observability topics such as logging, metrics, tracing, monitoring, alerting, and incident analysis.\nExperience with secure multi-tenant cloud services.\nExperience with performance optimization, reliability engineering, or cost optimization.\nExposure to Apache Spark, Delta Sharing, Lakehouse architecture, or big data platform services.\nExperience working with globally distributed agile/Scrum development teams.\nExperience in technical mentoring, architecture reviews, design reviews, or technical leadership.\nLEARNING OPPORTUNITIES\nYou will work on architecture and engineering topics for enterprise-grade cloud platform services.\nYou will work on cloud-native backend services, distributed systems, and secure multi-tenant platform capabilities.\nYou will influence architecture decisions around scalability, reliability, observability, automation, and operational readiness.\nYou will collaborate with experienced developers, architects, product owners, and platform teams across locations.\nYou will help shape engineering practices and mentor developers in backend and platform engineering topics.\nMEET YOUR TEAM\nYou will work with your team on the SAP HANA Cloud Big Data Fabric Services.
