SAP Technical LeadActive$198K
The opportunity
SAP will serve as the foundation for Databricks' core finance processes, including Record-to-Report, Source-to-Pay, and Order-to-Cash. As the SAP Technical Lead, you will own how those processes are engineered—from the clean-core S/4HANA core and its extensions, to the…
What you'll do
Own the Technical Architecture: Define and own the end-to-end technical architecture for the S/4HANA landscape (greenfield, brownfield, or selective data transition), aligned to clean-core principles, with clear guardrails that keep the digital core standard and upgrade-ready.
Lead the Extensibility Strategy: Define and own the extensibility strategy for SAP, using Databricks-native applications to address business requirements beyond core SAP capabilities. Establish clear architecture and governance standards to ensure extensions are scalable, secure, and aligned with the broader Finance technology strategy.
Drive Enterprise AI Integration: Drive a strong integration with ongoing Enterprise AI transformation within Databricks by bringing AI fluency and hands on AI experience.
Design the Integration Fabric: Architect secure, resilient integration across SAP and non-SAP systems using SAP Integration Suite, event-driven patterns, APIs, OData v4, and change-data feeds into the Lakehouse, with clear contracts, error handling, and observability.
Unify SAP Data in the Lakehouse: Partner with data engineering on the technical patterns for landing SAP data in Databricks—ingestion, CDC, semantic and master-data modeling, lineage, and governance.
Set Engineering Standards: Establish CI/CD, automated testing, and transport/deployment pipelines for BTP artifacts; own code and design reviews; and define the technical standards, security patterns, and best practices the team builds against.

- Experience running Agile delivery with system integrators and managed service: partners, including vendor and SLA accountability.
- SAP certification in SAP BTP, S/4HANA, or a relevant technology area, and: prior work in a high-growth technology company where ERP had to scale quickly.
