COMPANY DESCRIPTION
 

SAP started in 1972 as a team of five colleagues with a desire to do something new. Together, they changed enterprise software and reinvented how business was done. Today, as a market leader in enterprise application software, we remain true to our roots. That’s why we engineer solutions to fuel innovation, foster equality and spread opportunity for our employees and customers across borders and cultures.

SAP values the entrepreneurial spirit, fostering creativity and building lasting relationships with our employees. We know that a diverse and inclusive workforce keeps us competitive and provides opportunities for all. We believe that together we can transform industries, grow economics, lift up societies and sustain our environment. Because it’s the best-run businesses that make the world run better and improve people’s lives.

• Investigating an unintended restart of a HANA database during tenant creation
• Packaging SAP system components into Docker images with an automated process
• Implementing a suite of integration tests for creating ABAP servers
• Writing a Prometheus exporter that extracts runtime metrics from a Web Dispatcher
• Creating a load test that simulates a Black Friday event in S4 for tuning of auto-scaler heuristics
  
   

Experience/ Role Requirements:
 

• Strong background in SAP basis technology and products – especially good knowledge in AS ABAP and/or HANA administration and operations
• Experience in agile development practices and test-driven development
• Experience in S/4HANA operations, processes and automation tools like SPC, TIC, LAMA is a big plus
• Hands-on experience with Docker and/or Kubernetes is a plus
• Degree in applied sciences. Preferred field of study: Computer Science or related fields.
