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.

What you’ll build:

In this role you’ll build scalable, cloud-native infrastructure services and APIs that power our data integration pipelines, improving throughput and reducing end-to-end latency for downstream analytics and services.

You’ll implement infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, Helm) to automate deployments and reduce manual errors, speeding feature delivery and lowering incident rates.

You’ll produce tests, runbooks, and documentation and collaborate with developer, and QA teams to ensure operability and smooth rollout to production.

Your work will directly impact business outcomes by making our data integration services faster, more reliable.

What you bring:

· Current student in computer science, informatics, or equivalent proven experience, able to commit at least 3 days/week for at least 6 months.

· Strong programming fundamentals and problem‑solving skills — comfortable coding in at least one language (Python, Golang or Groovy) and explaining your approach.

· Practical familiarity with containers and microservices concepts, and hands‑on experience with Docker; basic working knowledge of Kubernetes or demonstrable learning projects.

· Basic CI/CD and version control skills — Git fluency plus exposure to CI tools (Jenkins, GitHub/GitLab Actions or similar).

· Cloud awareness — some experience or coursework/projects with GCP, AWS or Azure, and eagerness to build cloud apps.

· Growth mindset and collaboration: clear English communication, proactive attitude, openness to feedback, ability to work in a cross‑functional team and follow through on commitments.

Nice‑to‑have
