SAP Data Engineer

Role Description

We are seeking an experienced SAP Data Engineer to design, build, and optimize HANA-native data models and analytical objects supporting S/4HANA, BW/4HANA, and standalone HANA platforms. In this role you will translate complex business and analytics requirements into performant HANA models, and you will be the go-to expert for diagnosing and resolving HANA performance issues across the SAP landscape. The ideal candidate will combine deep expertise in HANA-native modeling — including calculation views, CDS views, AMDPs, and SQLScript — with strong performance-tuning skills and a clear understanding of HANA internals.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop performant calculation views, CDS views, AMDPs, and SQLScript procedures for analytical and transactional workloads.
• Translate business and analytics requirements into well-structured HANA data models that balance flexibility, performance, and maintainability.
• Optimize complex queries, joins, and aggregations through careful use of partitioning, pruning, and parallelization features of HANA.
• Lead HANA performance reviews and audits, using tools such as HANA Studio Plan Visualizer, ST04, ST05, and DBACOCKPIT to identify bottlenecks.
• Implement appropriate security models for HANA, including analytic privileges, roles, and row-level security.
• Design and operate HANA replication scenarios using SLT, smart data integration, and smart data access.
• Support data tiering using HANA Native Storage Extension and dynamic tiering where appropriate.
• Build and maintain HANA-native applications and procedures consumed by Fiori, BW, and BTP services.
• Lead capacity planning and sizing for HANA systems, taking into account both current and projected workloads.
• Collaborate closely with Basis, ABAP, and analytics teams to ensure HANA models are integrated cleanly with the broader landscape.
• Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures — so that the system remains supportable, auditable, and easy to onboard new engineers onto over time.
• Mentor junior developers on HANA-native development and performance best practices.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Five or more years of SAP HANA development experience.
• Strong hands-on expertise with calculation views, CDS views, AMDPs, and SQLScript.
• Solid understanding of HANA architecture, including in-memory storage, columnar processing, and parallel execution.
• Hands-on experience with HANA performance tuning tools and methodologies.
• Experience with HANA replication tools (SLT, SDI, SDA).
• Working knowledge of HANA security models, including analytic privileges and roles.
• Familiarity with S/4HANA embedded analytics or BW/4HANA modeling.
• Strong SQL skills.
• Excellent troubleshooting, communication, and documentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• SAP-certified HANA modeling or development credentials.
• Experience with HANA Native Storage Extension or dynamic tiering.
• Exposure to HANA Cloud and SAP Datasphere.
• Familiarity with BTP-based analytics tooling such as SAC.
• Hands-on experience with large-scale HANA migrations and upgrades.
