Senior Developer

**We help the world run better**

At SAP, we enable you to bring out your best. Our company culture is focused on collaboration and a shared passion to help the world run better. How? We focus every day on building the foundation for tomorrow and creating a workplace that embraces differences, values flexibility, and is aligned to our purpose-driven and future-focused work. We offer a highly collaborative, caring team environment with a strong focus on learning and development, recognition for your individual contributions, and a variety of benefit options for you to choose from.

**PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES**
What 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.
We are looking for a Senior Developer eager to learn and contribute to the world of Big Data.
A small disclaimer: we don’t work as data scientists analyzing or extracting data, but we build a platform that allows this.

**THE PRODUCT**
The 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).
