Senior Cloud Architect

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
As a Cloud Architect & Advisor (CAA), you will be responsible for the private cloud technical foundation of RISE with SAP and Business Data Cloud (BDC) engagements. The CAAs' mandate spans the initial sales cycle, subsequent change requests and renewal events for private cloud architecture changes. You will advise customers and internal account teams on SAP's private cloud offerings, assess the technical feasibility of customers' requirements and translate these into technical landscape designs. As a final step, these landscapes are handed over to our delivery
teams for system provisioning.

What you bring

• Customer facing mindset

• High proficiency in customer communication and presentation

• You are accustomed to working in smaller teams and groups and supporting them, led by experienced colleagues, while also working independently on topics, setting priorities, and taking sole responsibility for your own project.

• Demonstrate capability to efficiently execute operational and preparatory activities

• Strong team player

• 5+ years of customer facing experience

• Expertise of the technical operational aspects of SAP solutions in a cloud environment

• Good understanding of technical capabilities of at least one hyperscaler (AWS, Azure or GCP)

• Understanding of data center capabilities like high availability or disaster recovery is a benefit

• Good understanding of the entire platform stack (storage, virtualization, hardware, networks etc.)

• Good understanding of SAP technologies (releases, platform interdependencies etc.)

• Cybersecurity & compliance expertise is an advantage

• Self-sufficient worker and strong team player

• Affinity to technical topics, willingness to tackle aspects outside the comfort zone and to continuously learn

• Fluency in German and English is a must, any other language an asset
