At SAP Sovereign Cloud Technology & Delivery, we are defining the future of deploying and running SAP cloud solutions on sovereign cloud infrastructure for public sector and regulated industries – with unparalleled security, compliance, and scale.
This is where innovation meets execution – we are looking for a stellar Development Manager with a strong engineering focus to be part of our journey, reporting directly to the Chief Technology Officer.

- Enabling new deployment options, e.g. onto Azure, GCP, or SAP Converged Cloud.
- Accelerating the efficiency of setting up new Sovereign Cloud locations.
- Closing the time lag between the availability of commercial and Sovereign Cloud product versions.
- Building healthy cross-relationships to architects, product owners, and engineers of other SAP products and areas, including SAP Ariba, SAP HANA Cloud, SAP Business AI, SAP DataSphere, and SAP Cloud ALM.
- Fostering performance and collaboration of a virtual team of professionals.

- Proven cloud engineering and cloud infrastructure management expertise.

With your strong collaborative and quality-first mindset, you are able to proactively forge the path forward, innovatively solve any challenges, and strongly collaborate with other team members across the whole organization.
