• Enhance continuous performance monitoring and improvements of database systems, as well as guiding teams through challenging situations requiring detailed understanding of database engines. 

• Ensure security and compliance using state of the art Infrastructure-as-Code approaches. 

• Support development of HANA Cloud full database life-cycle management service and future migration.  

• Contribute to the entire cycle of product development, from first ideas and brainstorming sessions to continuously delivering improvements based on internal customer data. 

• Collaborate with other teams and Tech Leads across the organization to establish and evolve best practices. 

• Mentor less-experienced peers and be mentored by more-experienced peers. 

 

What You'll Bring 

• Experience with databases (for example SAP HANA Cloud, MySQL, Postgres or their cloud-based equivalents) and document stores, data access layer programming models and operational aspects of the cloud persistence technologies. 

• Good knowledge of AWS RDS. 

• Confidence in working with Kubernetes clusters and managing corresponding resources. 

• Programming skills in one of modern languages (Python, Node.js, Go, TypeScript, Java) and proficiency in SQL is required. 

• Experience with software engineering practices like GitOps using Helm Charts, ArgoCD, CI/CD, TDD, and GitHub workflow to infrastructure. 

• Ability to enable others to work independently and to prepare great documentation. 

• Interest in working in an agile environment, with test driven development, pair programming and fast iterations. 

• Ability to handle uncertainty and adapt to continuous change. 

Above all, you'll be a strong team player and understand that we can only succeed as a distributed team. You'll dislike manual changes to infrastructure and will fight for simplicity, always ensuring that untested modifications do not make their way into production.
