We invite passionate individuals to join our team, dedicated to exceeding customer expectations through innovative and sustainable solutions.

End-to-end process performance

• Own performance for critical business processes across OTC, RTR, STP, and PTM/SCM, measured as business outcomes: order-to-confirmation time, MRP run duration, close cycle time, shipment throughput, and period-end batch windows.
• Establish performance SLOs per process with business process owners, and report against them as a standing operating metric rather than an incident-driven exercise.
• Lead root cause analysis where slow performance is actually a process design or master data problem, and drive the fix upstream instead of optimizing around it.
• Own performance readiness as a formal go-live gate for every deployment wave, with volumetric modeling based on real segment transaction profiles.

ABAP performance engineering

• Provide deep hands-on analysis and remediation of custom ABAP: expensive selects, nested loops, sequential reads, buffering misuse, internal table handling, parallelization, and background job design.
• Drive code pushdown to HANA - CDS views, AMDP, and ABAP for Cloud patterns - replacing application-layer processing where the database should be doing the work.
• Own performance standards inside the development lifecycle: ATC performance checks, SQL Monitor and SQL Performance Tuning Worklist, code inspector rules, and mandatory performance review for high-volume objects
• Partner with the ABAP and BTP Senior Manager so performance is designed in at build time, not diagnosed after go-live.

HANA database performance

• Deep expertise in HANA internals: execution plan analysis, delta merge behavior, partitioning strategy, table distribution, column store optimization, and memory and workload management.
• Own expensive statement analysis, plan cache review, index and view optimization, and data aging or archiving strategy where data volume is the root cause.
• Manage sizing, capacity forecasting, and workload profiling with the RISE hyperscaler and SAP operations teams.

Batch, interface, and system performance

• Own batch and job scheduling architecture, including critical path analysis for period-end and nightly windows.
• Analyze interface and integration performance across the landscape, including Integration Suite and high-volume data flows.
• Lead formal performance and volume testing cycles: scenario design, execution, analysis, and sign-off.

Operations and stakeholder engagement

• Partner with SAP services engagements - MaxAttention, Enterprise Support, EarlyWatch, Cloud ALM, and Focused Run - on health checks and safeguarding.
• Lead performance-related RCCA for production incidents and drive corrective actions to closure.
• Hold AMS and system integrator partners accountable for performance quality in delivered code.
• Translate technical findings into business impact for segment and program leadership.

Qualifications

Required

• 15+ years in SAP technical performance engineering, with demonstrated end-to-end ownership rather than a component specialty.
• Expert-level ABAP performance tuning - you must be able to open a trace and diagnose it yourself. Deep command of ST05, ST12, SAT, SQLM, SE30, and runtime analysis tooling.
• Expert-level HANA performance and database internals: plan visualization, expensive statement analysis, partitioning, delta merge, memory management, and sizing.
• Proven S/4HANA performance ownership through go-live and steady state at global scale, with high transaction volumes.
• Strong command of Basis-adjacent performance domains: work process configuration, memory parameters, RFC and background job tuning, and system monitoring.
• Functional literacy across core process areas - enough to reason about why a business process is shaped the way it is, and to challenge it credibly.
• Experience defining and running formal performance test cycles as a go-live gate.

Preferred

• RISE with SAP private
