About the Company

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 Join an innovative, collaborative development environment and help shape secure data access and connectivity capabilities as part of SAP's Big Data Fabric Services (BDFS). We are looking for ABAP Expert to help shape the next generation of SAP Data Accelerator and related BDFS platform capabilities across architecture, engineering execution, and production readiness. We do not work as data scientists analyzing or extracting data directly. We build the platform capabilities that make this possible. SAP Data Accelerator focuses on secure partner connectivity and access to SAP business data across SAP ERP and LoB applications in on-premise, private cloud, and public cloud landscapes. This work sits within the broader BDFS portfolio, which enables SAP Lines of Business and customers to enter the world of big data more easily. BDFS delivers platform capabilities such as Apache Spark as a service, multi-language data processing on Kubernetes-based infrastructure, and access to hyperscaler-agnostic data sources using the Delta Sharing protocol on top of the HANA Data Lake File Service (HDLFS) As the product evolves through future phases, the scope expands from secure connectivity into broader API-driven and platform-managed data access capabilities.
