Full -Stack Developer Associate

Overview

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 will do

We are part of the Office of the CTO (Chief Technology Officer), and therefore we work on topics that directly support the SAP CTO’s mandate. We investigate front-runner technologies to verify, experiment, and create proof-points that inform technical decisions. Our work includes technology strategy initiatives such as the North Star Architecture, along with related research, investigations, coding experiments, and the creation of Reference Architectures.

As a member of our team, you will be responsible for prototyping, building showcases, and experimenting with new technologies. You will research internal and external products, concepts, and architectures, and contribute to concept and strategy papers as needed. A strong combination of architectural thinking, abstraction skills, and hands-on coding experience is highly valuable for this role.

Your Work Will Involve

• Developing tooling and content (reference architectures across Data, AI, Platform, Data, AI and Agents) that is published on the SAP Architecture Center
• Exploring emerging technologies across AI and Agents, including
  
  

Neuro-symbolic AI, Knowledge Graphs, MCP (Model Context Protocol), Agent Orchestration, RAG, and other AI-native patterns

• Working on non-functional aspects such as Security, HA/DR, Performance, and Reliability
• Prototyping and building proof-points that influence company-wide strategic decisions
• Contributing to concept notes, technical investigations, and strategy documents
  
  

• Degree in Computer Science, IT from premier institutes
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Hands-on skills in full-stack engineering (backend/frontend/data/integration/ML or GenAI)
• Knowledge of SAP BTP or public cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) is a plus
• Understanding or curiosity around Data, AI and agent-based architectures
• Proficiency in one or more programming languages
• Strong presentation, articulation, and storytelling abilities
• Curiosity for emerging technologies and willingness to learn fast
  
  

You will work where research becomes architecture and architecture becomes code, influencing technology direction across SAP before it reaches product teams.

If you want to begin your career where strategy meets engineering and experimentation drives decisions, this team is the right place.

Meet your team

You will join the Office of the CTO (OCTO), the team that works on technology topics relevant to the entire company and product units and, in many cases, on ideas before they become mainstream inside SAP. We explore front-runner technologies, run experiments, build proof-points, and support CTO and Executive Board level strategic projects. A core part of our work is shaping and publishing Reference Architectures that guide how SAP and its ecosystem build interoperable and future-ready enterprise solutions. These architectures are externally published via the SAP Architecture Center and are consumed by customers, partners, and engineering teams across SAP.

You will work in an internationally blended team based in India, collaborating closely with peers in Germany and the USA. Because our topics are high-impact, strategic, and evolve rapidly, continuous learning, fast skill acquisition, and comfort with ambiguity are essential.
