Job Summary: We are seeking a seasoned SAP Basis / SAP Platform Engineer responsible for the architecture, installation, configuration, performance tuning, and day-to-day operation of complex SAP landscapes that may span on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-hosted environments. This role is critical to keeping mission-critical SAP systems available, performant, secure, and compliant. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise across SAP NetWeaver, S/4HANA, HANA database administration, system copies, upgrades, and migrations, and will partner with infrastructure, security, and SAP functional teams to deliver a stable, well-governed SAP platform.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect, install, configure, and operate SAP landscapes including S/4HANA, ECC, BW/4HANA, Solution Manager, and other NetWeaver-based systems across on-prem and cloud environments.
• Administer SAP HANA databases — including installation, sizing, replication, backup, recovery, and performance tuning — to meet demanding availability and performance SLAs.
• Plan and execute SAP system copies, refreshes, and post-copy automation activities to support development, testing, training, and migration scenarios.

• Design and implement SAP migrations to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and SAP RISE/Grow environments, including network and identity integration.
• Configure and operate high-availability and disaster-recovery solutions for SAP, including HANA System Replication, cluster-based failover, and validated DR runbooks.
• Implement and maintain SAP transport management strategies, including Solution Manager ChaRM and CTS+ workflows.
• Manage SAP user provisioning, role management, and audit support in close collaboration with the SAP Security/GRC team.
• Monitor SAP system performance, capacity, and health using Solution Manager, Focused Run, native HANA tools, and external APM platforms.
• Develop automation scripts and runbooks using Ansible, PowerShell, or Python to reduce operational toil and accelerate routine tasks.
• Manage and remediate SAP security notes, kernel patches, and database patches in accordance with internal security and compliance policies.
• Provide 24x7 on-call support for production SAP systems and lead structured incident response and post-incident reviews.
• Document SAP architecture, operations procedures, and standard operating processes to support knowledge sharing and team scalability.
• Mentor junior Basis engineers and contribute to the broader SAP platform roadmap.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Five or more years of SAP Basis / platform engineering experience in large enterprise environments.
• Strong hands-on experience administering SAP HANA databases in production.
• Experience operating S/4HANA, ECC, BW/4HANA, Solution Manager, and other NetWeaver systems.
• Hands-on experience with SAP migrations to cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Strong experience with SAP upgrades, EHP/SP application, and system conversions.
• Solid experience with SAP HA/DR strategies, including HANA System Replication and clustering.
• Working knowledge of SAP transport management and Solution Manager ChaRM.
• Scripting skills in Bash, PowerShell, Python, or Ansible.
• Strong troubleshooting, communication, and documentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• SAP certifications in HANA, S/4HANA, or Basis administration.
