Numerous peripheral systems (Web Dispatcher, Cloud Connector, Content Server) round out your daily playground.

• Shape Cloud & BTP Strategy: You actively administer and evolve our SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), putting your core focus on the SAP Integration Suite and SAP Build Work Zone.
• Empower a Global Team: Sharing knowledge is in your DNA. You actively mentor junior colleagues and foster a culture of smooth, seamless collaboration within our globally networked team.

Requirements:

• Deep SAP Track Record: You bring several years (at least 5-7 years) of hands-on experience in SAP Basis Administration within complex, international environments. If you already have experience with RISE with SAP, that's a huge plus!
• Database & OS Mastery: You possess rock-solid knowledge in administering SAP HANA and feel completely comfortable working with Linux operating systems.
• Architecture Frontend Expert: You have expert-level knowledge of SAP ABAP and a proven track record of deploying slick Fiori environments.
• Cloud Native Mindset: You have practical experience navigating the SAP BTP ecosystem, especially the Integration Suite and Build Work Zone.
• Hyperscaler Experience: You know how to operate and migrate SAP systems on hyperscalers, with a strong preference for Microsoft Azure.
• Methodological Drive: You have a proven track record of successfully leading technical (sub-)projects and approach complex challenges with a highly structured, analytical mindset.

• An Inspiring Communicator: You thrive in virtual, cross-border collaboration. You have the unique ability to break down complex technical topics and explain them clearly to different audiences-from techies to business stakeholders.
• Globally Minded: Since we operate as a highly interconnected global team, you communicate sharply, confidently, and fluently in English (business fluent).
