About the role
- SAP will serve as the foundation for Databricks' core finance processes, including Record-to-Report, Source-to-Pay, and Order-to-Cash.
- Rather than accumulating custom code inside the digital core, you'll champion a modern extensibility model on SAP BTP and the Databricks Lakehouse, so Finance teams get automated, AI-driven workflows on top of a core that stays clean, upgradable, and fast.
Responsibilities
- Own the Technical Architecture: Define and own the end-to-end technical architecture for the S/4HANA landscape (greenfield, brownfield, or selective data transition), aligned to clean-core principles, with clear guardrails that keep the digital core standard and upgrade-ready.
- Lead the Extensibility Strategy: Define and own the extensibility strategy for SAP, using Databricks-native applications to address business requirements beyond core SAP capabilities.
- Drive Enterprise AI Integration: Drive a strong integration with ongoing Enterprise AI transformation within Databricks by bringing AI fluency and hands on AI experience.
- Design the Integration Fabric: Architect secure, resilient integration across SAP and non-SAP systems using SAP Integration Suite, event-driven patterns, APIs, OData v4, and change-data feeds into the Lakehouse, with clear contracts, error handling, and observability.
- Unify SAP Data in the Lakehouse: Partner with data engineering on the technical patterns for landing SAP data in Databricks-ingestion, CDC, semantic and master-data modeling, lineage, and governance.
- own code and design reviews
- and define the technical standards, security patterns, and best practices the team builds against.
- Lead the Team: Mentor developers and architects, lead technical steering, and act as the connective tissue across the SAP ecosystem (BTP, Integration Suite) and the systems around it, partnering closely with functional, product, and partner engineering teams.
- Be Accountable for Non-Functionals: Own performance, scalability, security, resilience, and cost across the landscape
- Set Engineering Standards: Establish CI/CD, automated testing, and transport/deployment pipelines for BTP artifacts; own code and design reviews; and define the technical standards, security patterns, and best practices the team builds against.
Requirements
- SAP BTP & Modern Development: Advanced experience across SAP BTP, ABAP Cloud and the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP), CDS, and CAP, with Fiori/SAPUI5 on the front end.
- Governance Rigor: Working knowledge of SAP authorizations, SoD, SOX and audit requirements, and the ability to architect solutions and automation that satisfy them.
- 10+ years in SAP technical roles, with 3+ years as a technical lead or architect, and a proven track record delivering at least one full S/4HANA program (greenfield or conversion) plus BTP-based extension delivery.
- Clean-Core Architecture: Deep, hands-on command of clean-core principles-custom-code assessment and remediation, in-app vs. side-by-side extensibility, released APIs and extension points, and the governance that keeps the core clean over time.
- AI & Agentic Systems: Hands-on experience or strong technical command of agentic automation, LLM orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation, and evaluation-plus clear judgment about where AI belongs in a controlled, auditable ERP process and where it does not.
- Integration & APIs: Advanced experience with SAP Integration Suite, API management, event-driven architecture, and REST/OData, integrating hybrid SAP and non-SAP landscapes.
- Data Fluency: Solid understanding of modern data platforms, SAP data extraction and modeling, pipelines, and semantic layers, and the practical work of making ERP data usable for analytics and AI.
- Leadership: Ability to translate business requirements into technical architecture, present tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders, mentor engineers, and make pragmatic decisions that balance speed against long-term maintainability.
Nice to have
- Hands-on knowledge of SAP integration surfaces and their limitations, including OData and REST APIs, CDS views, and Datasphere.
- SAP certification in SAP BTP, S/4HANA, or a relevant technology area, and prior work in a high-growth technology company where ERP had to scale quickly.
