Software Developer

We help the world run better
At SAP, we keep it simple: you bring your best to us, and we'll bring out the best in you. 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. 

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 and enable customers to integrate SAP data with external partner data engineering tools and non-SAP data. We are looking for a Mid-level 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). We recently delivered the SAP Databricks as managed solution that combines the AI/ML capabilities of the Databricks platform with semantically rich SAP data, integrated within the SAP Business Data Cloud.
