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.

You have experience in distributed systems and scalable application design, with hands‑on skills in LLMs, advanced RAG patterns, and agentic workflows, performance optimization, cost management, and troubleshooting. Proficiency in system design for scale, resiliency, and fault tolerance is required. Applying agentic engineering patterns is critical. Technical leadership and mentoring ability are also part of what you'll bring.

You have rich experience in ABAP development including ABAP objects and preferably in RAP and BOPF. UI5 Fiori know‑how and SAP Web Services are beneficial.

Preferably you have industry experience in utilities and knowledge of metering processes, device management or energy data management (EDM) are a plus.

German language proficiency at C1 level (minimum) is required, as the role includes regular interaction with local customers and German regulatory stakeholders.

You will work with the existing utilities product portfolio with focus on market communication in the (intelligent) metering area. The product needs to be enhanced continuously along with legal changes that are defined by the German Federal Network Agency. You will work independently on designing these legal requirements in the existing solution and lead the development of the same in the development team.

Analysing complex customer issues and guiding and implementing the corresponding solutions to guarantee a smooth operation of the solution is part of the job.

Also, you'll independently design and architect scalable, AI-native application systems and components, including advanced RAG pipelines and multi-agent Evaluation and benchmarking frameworks to measure AI system quality, reliability, and performance are things you'll build and own. You'll optimize latency, throughput, and cost efficiency across systems. You'll partner with platform, data, and AI teams to design robust, production‑ready solutions and improve system integration.

System scalability, resilience, and maintainability are areas you'll continuously work to strengthen.

The Metering Team is part of the Market Communication (MaCo) program within SAP's Industry AI area. We build and operate the intelligent metering solution for the German utilities market — a product used productively by many German utility companies.

We manage the full lifecycle of intelligent measuring systems (iMS) including Controlboxes and iRLM etc.: from device setup and replacement and remote configuration, to the automated market communication processes that connect the various market roles defined under German energy regulation.

The roadmap is shaped by the requirements of our existing customers as well as by the requirements published…
