Where you belong: 

We are a global engineering team driving the observability strategy and platform for SAP's cloud services, enabling visibility at massive scale. Our mission is to provide reliable, scalable and innovative observability solutions that help thousands of services and engineering teams understand, monitor and improve the health of our cloud ecosystem.

We operate and evolve the technologies behind telemetry signals ingestion at enterprise scale. Our platform processes more than 4 PB of telemetry data every month , with peak ingestion rates exceeding 2 million events per second . We leverage technologies such as Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, Dynatrace, OpenTelemetry, Kubernetes , cloud-native infrastructure, and a highly automated deployment and operations model.

If you enjoy building and operating large-scale platforms, automating everything possible and exploring the future of observability, we would love to hear from you.

This is not a traditional operations role.

You will work on one of the largest observability platforms in the company, supporting environments that process millions of events per second and petabytes of telemetry data every month.

The platform is already highly automated, allowing engineers to focus not only on operations but also on:

• Designing new solutions.
• Evaluating emerging technologies.
• Improving platform architecture.
• Driving innovation in observability and telemetry processing.
• Solving complex scale and reliability challenges.

This role offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience with modern observability technologies while working on systems that operate at truly enterprise scale.
