We help the world run better

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.

Data Onboarding & Platform Business Enablement, Enterprise Knowledge Graph

What you'll build:

The SAP Enterprise Knowledge Graph (EKG) integrates SAP's reference data - business data such as products, processes, and business objects, as well as system data such as ERP transaction codes - into a unified semantic layer. To create and maintain the EKG, we develop an internal platform that exposes the knowledge graph via data access APIs and AI-powered services, and powers a neuro-symbolic AI application that enables intelligent search, reasoning, and knowledge exploration across SAP's enterprise data.

As a consultant focused on data onboarding and platform orchestration in the Cross Solution Adoption & Content team, you will join a structured 6-9 month onboarding phase to deeply learn about the EKG, AI application, and the platform - and then transition into building a dedicated consulting practice around EKG data onboarding and service provisioning:

- Immerse yourself in the platform during a structured onboarding period: learn the data architecture, ontology standards, ingestion patterns, and platform capabilities hands-on alongside the core engineering team.
- You will onboard new datasets that are relevant for the Customer Value Group to grow the EKG into an actionable Engagement Graph for CVG.
- Own the end-to-end onboarding of new data sources into the EKG - from requirements gathering and data modeling to pipeline implementation, validation, and production rollout.
- Design and build scalable, automated data ingestion and transformation pipelines in Python, running on Kubernetes/Kyma, that reliably integrate diverse SAP data sources into the knowledge graph.
- Orchestrate complex, multi-step data workflows across the platform - coordinating dependencies, monitoring pipeline health, and ensuring data quality and consistency at scale.
- Act as a technical consultant to internal SAP teams seeking to contribute their data to the EKG: guide stakeholders through onboarding processes, translate business data requirements into semantic models, and build repeatable patterns that others can follow.
- Develop reusable frameworks, tooling, and playbooks that lower the barrier for future data onboarding - laying the foundation for a scalable, self-service onboarding capability.
- Build up a consulting business unit around EKG data onboarding and customer specific knowledge graphs: define service models, engagement patterns, delivery standards, and grow the practice.

What you bring:

- 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering or data engineering, with a strong focus on data pipelines, or data platform integration.
- Previous consulting expertise with completed projects
- Strong Python programming skills and hands-on experience building production-grade ETL/ELT pipelines and workflow.
- Experience with Kubernetes-based cloud-native development and deployment is a plus.
- Interest in and aptitude for knowledge graph or semantic technologies (RDF, OWL, SPARQL) - prior experience is a plus but not required.
- Modeling skills with ontologies or UML object models
- A consultant mindset: you are comfortable engaging stakeholders, scoping requirements, structuring solutions, and communicating technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
- Excellent English communication skills - written and spoken - with the ability to present, document, and persuade across organizational boundaries additional language skills are a plus.
- Ability to think in repeatable patterns and frameworks: you don't just solve the problem at hand you build something others can use.
- Familiarity with SAP BTP or the broader SAP technology ecosystem is an advantage.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Engineering, or a related field.
