What you'll do

Build Europe's sovereign cloud infrastructure through open source at SAP, with a focus on network automation. You'll contribute to the Apeiro Reference Architecture within the EU's IPCEI‑CIS initiative, developing Kubernetes operators and controllers that automate network provisioning and orchestration across European cloud providers.

Your work involves building systems that bridge cloud‑native platforms with physical and virtual network infrastructure. You'll automate network configuration, lifecycle management, and integration across multiple environments using technologies like Kubernetes operators, Go, and modern network APIs—solving problems that eliminate vendor lock‑in and enable seamless workload portability.

Working within the Linux Foundation's NeoNephos ecosystem, you'll collaborate with engineers from major European tech companies and contribute to widely‑adopted open source projects. At SAP, you'll grow your expertise in cloud‑native technologies and network automation while building infrastructure that ensures European organizations control their digital destiny. This position can also be filled on a part‑time basis.

What you bring

• Programming Foundation: Solid experience with Go, Python, or similar languages, with eagerness to work in cloud‑native environments and automation.
• Cloud & Infrastructure Basics: Familiarity with Kubernetes, Docker, and at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP), along with infrastructure automation concepts.
• Technical Curiosity: Interest in networking (protocols, configuration management, APIs) or experience with network devices, with willingness to deepen expertise.
• Development Practices: Understanding of Git workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and modern development principles.
• Growth Mindset: 2-4 years of software development or infrastructure automation experience with demonstrated learning agility.
• Problem‑Solving Approach: Self‑driven ability to break down complex technical challenges, debug issues independently, and drive solutions to completion.
• Collaboration Skills: Strong communication abilities and experience working in agile development teams.
• Open Source Interest: Enthusiasm for contributing to open source projects and learning from the broader developer community.
