• Design and develop performant calculation views, CDS views, AMDPs, and SQLScript procedures for analytical and transactional workloads.
• Translate business and analytics requirements into well-structured HANA data models that balance flexibility, performance, and maintainability.
• Optimize complex queries, joins, and aggregations through partitioning, pruning, and parallelization features of HANA.
• Lead HANA performance reviews and audits, using tools such as HANA Studio Plan Visualizer, ST04, ST05, and DBACOCKPIT to identify bottlenecks.
• Implement appropriate security models for HANA, including analytic privileges, roles, and row-level security.
• Design and operate HANA replication scenarios using SLT, smart data integration, and smart data access.
• Support data tiering using HANA Native Storage Extension and dynamic tiering where appropriate.
• Build and maintain HANA-native applications and procedures consumed by Fiori, BW, and BTP services.
• Lead capacity planning and sizing for HANA systems, taking into account both current and projected workloads.
• Collaborate closely with Basis, ABAP, and analytics teams to ensure HANA models are integrated cleanly with the broader landscape.
• Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures — so that the system remains supportable, auditable, and easy to onboard new engineers onto over time.
