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.

What you'll do

Build enterprise cloud infrastructure that provides European data sovereignty and hyperscaler-grade capabilities. You'll work on SAP Cloud Infrastructure, solving complex distributed systems challenges at scale: multi-region networking, container orchestration, storage systems, and the APIs that connect them.

You will contribute to building a sovereign, privacy-first AI cloud for the European market that makes it easy to securely train, fine-tune, and deploy foundation and domain models with strict data residency and isolation.

You'll develop solutions using Go, OpenStack, and Kubernetes, tackling problems like: How do you auto-scale thousands of containers across regions? How do you build resilient storage systems? How do you design APIs that handle massive traffic spikes?

Your work will power SAP's production systems and thousands of customer environments. You'll contribute to infrastructure that enables organizations to run mission-critical applications with the performance and reliability they expect from leading cloud platforms.

In your role as DevOps Engineer, you'll build and maintain the infrastructure automation that powers SAP Cloud Infrastructure, implementing CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation for enterprise cloud services. You'll ensure reliable delivery of distributed systems components that handle massive scale across multiple regions.

You'll work with Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud-native tooling to automate the deployment and operation of container orchestration platforms, networking systems, and storage solutions. Your focus will be on creating robust automation that supports multi-region deployments, handles traffic spikes gracefully, and maintains the high availability standards expected by enterprise customers.

Contributing to production systems that serve thousands of customer environments, you'll build automation solutions that enable SAP Cloud Infrastructure to compete with leading cloud platforms. Your work will directly support European organizations in running mission-critical applications while maintaining full control and data sovereignty.
