We help the world run better

At SAP, we keep it simple: you bring your best to us, and we'll bring out the best in you. We're builders touching over 20 industries and 80% of global commerce, and we need your unique talents to help shape what's next. The work is challenging – but it matters. You'll find a place where you can be yourself, prioritize your wellbeing, and truly belong. What's in it for you? Constant learning, skill growth, great benefits, and a team that wants you to grow and succeed.

We're looking for an AI Engineer to join our team, which is leading the charge to make SAP a truly data-driven company, who can design, build and bring to production, enterprise-grade AI solutions across processes in our operations.

You will play a key role in developing scalable (gen) AI and multi-agent systems and products that drive measurable business impact. The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering skills, deep understanding of data and MLOps practices, and hands-on experience with modern AI frameworks.

You will help empower all SAP employees by transforming trusted data into real-time insights and intelligent action, aligning with our goals of Process Simplification, Automation, and Business AI within the Corporate Functions & Analytics (CFA) domain, specifically in one of the following key areas: Finance, Spend, People Solutions and Analytics.

The Role:

In this role, you will work closely with AI Product Owners, data scientists, and architects to translate AI concepts into reliable, production-ready systems. You’ll design and implement AI solutions, setup and develop big data pipelines and ensure high standards of scalability, observability and compliance. You’ll thrive in an agile, collaborative environment that values continuous learning, engineering excellence and innovation, helping shape the next generation of enterprise AI solutions at SAP.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop and deploy AI and (gen)AI services and solutions from proof of concept to full enterprise production

• Build and maintain data pipelines and model deployment workflows for scalable, secure AI systems

• Implement CI/CD and MLOps practices to automate model training, testing and deployment

• Collaborate with Product Owners and data scientists to translate requirements into technical specifications

• Develop and integrate multi-agent AI and LLM-based products and solutions

• Ensure reliability, observability and compliance of deployed AI solutions

What you bring:

• Degree in computer science or a similar field

• Advanced coding skills in Python (preferred) or Java, with solid understanding of software engineering principles

• Experience with backend frameworks (FastAPI, Flask, Django) and microservice architectures

• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration tools (Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, MLFlow)

• Experience implementing CI/CD and MLOps pipelines in cloud environments (Azure ML, Databricks, AWS)

• Hands-on experience with data ETL, APIs and model deployment workflows

• Knowledge of distributed systems and data platforms for big data

• Fluent English and a proactive, problem solving mindset

Nice to have but not a must:

• Experience with multi-agent or generative AI frameworks (e.g., Lang Chain, CrewAI)

• Familiarity with SAP AI Core, SAP BTP

• Experience with agile frameworks (e.g., Scrum, SAFe) and project management tools (e.g., Jira)

• Understanding of Agile, SAFe methodologies and collaborative engineering practices

These skills are a plus. If you don’t have experience in all these areas, we’ll provide the resources and training you need to become a leader in cutting-edge AI technologies.
