Senior Developer (f/m/d)

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, observability, 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, Kubernetes, and cloud-native technologies, tackling problems like: How do you autoscale thousands of workloads across clusters? How do you build resilient control planes and service meshes? 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 Developer, you'll contribute to building SAP Cloud Infrastructure through hands-on development of enterprise cloud services that provide European data sovereignty and hyperscaler-grade capabilities. You'll implement features and components for distributed systems that handle significant scale, working on Kubernetes orchestration, networking, and storage solutions that power customer environments.
• You'll develop and maintain cloud-native infrastructure components using Go, Kubernetes, and related CNCF technologies, solving practical challenges in multi-region deployments, API development, and system integration. Your work will involve implementing features for auto-scaling clusters, building resilient workloads, and creating APIs that handle substantial traffic loads.
• Contributing to production systems that serve SAP's customer base, you'll help build infrastructure that enables organizations to run mission-critical applications with enterprise-grade performance and reliability. Your code will support European organizations in maintaining data sovereignty while accessing powerful cloud capabilities that compete with leading cloud platforms.

 

What You Bring
