Your focus will be to enable seamless data movement, transformation, and integration between SAP systems and modern data platforms, ensuring data availability and quality across multiple environments.

This role requires a hands-on, technically proficient individual with deep experience in both SAP integration and modern cloud-native data engineering.

Essential Functions of the Job

• Build and maintain ETL/ELT data pipelines and integrations to support SAP BDC migration and transformation workflows.
• Develop scalable data flows connecting SAP systems with cloud platforms such as Databricks, Azure Synapse, and Snowflake.
• Integrate SAP data (IDocs, BAPIs, flat files) with modern data lakes, warehouses, and analytical tools using Databricks, Nvidia RAPIDS, and other technologies.
• Optimize data transformation jobs for performance, reliability, and maintainability in hybrid or multi-cloud setups.
• Collaborate with architects to ensure integration solutions align with enterprise data strategy and standards.
• Apply best practices in data security, encryption, data masking, and compliance within integration pipelines.
• Develop reusable scripts, connectors, and data wrangling logic across SAP and cloud-native environments.
• Monitor data jobs, troubleshoot failures, and perform root cause analysis to resolve complex data movement issues.
• Use CI/CD practices to automate deployment of data jobs across dev/test/prod environments.
• Document technical specifications, mappings, job flows, and operational procedures to support long-term maintainability.

Knowledge and Skills Requirements

• Deep experience with SAP BDC, data migration, and SAP integration techniques (LSMW, IDocs, BAPIs, BDC recordings).
• Strong proficiency in ETL tools and frameworks, e.g., SAP BODS, Azure Data Factory, Informatica, or Talend.
• Hands-on with cloud-based integration services, e.g., AWS Glue, Google Dataflow, Snowflake Tasks/Streams, or Databricks Workflows.
• Familiarity with cloud data platforms (Azure Synapse, Google BigQuery, Snowflake) and parallel compute frameworks (Nvidia RAPIDS, PySpark).
• Strong skills in SQL, scripting (Python, Shell), and version control (Git).
• Knowledge of API integrations, message queues, and event-driven data pipelines.
• Experience in data quality validation and exception handling within pipelines.
• Comfortable working in Agile delivery and CI/CD environments.

Other Requirements

• Strong collaboration skills in global delivery models (onshore/offshore).
• Certifications in relevant tools or cloud platforms (e.g., Azure Data Engineer, AWS Big Data) are a plus.
• Working experience in regulated or large enterprise data environments is desirable.
• Ability to travel based on project or client needs.

Job Requirements

• Education
  
  • BS/MS in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, or related field.

• Experience
  
  • 8–12+ years of experience in data engineering and system integration, with 3–5 years focused on SAP data pipelines and cloud integration technologies.
