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.

Where You Belong

SAP Cloud Infrastructure (SCI) is SAP's enterprise-grade cloud platform, delivering secure and scalable infrastructure services to SAP's Lines of Business and external customers alike. SCI powers SAP's most critical cloud products and serves as the foundation for sovereign and regulated cloud offerings — including solutions for defense, public sector, and highly regulated industries across Europe and beyond.

As connectivity becomes a gating factor in sovereign and regulated cloud deals, we are building dedicated expertise to match the pace and complexity of our growing pipeline. You will join the SCI Solutions Engineering team — a cross-functional, internationally distributed group that bridges complex customer requirements and SAP's cloud capabilities, enabling strategic onboarding engagements for enterprise customers across commercial and sovereign cloud environments.

• Define edge handoff models, segmentation and routing designs, NAT/DNS considerations, inspection chains, and egress controls
• Map compliance requirements to BSI/VS-NfD and customer security policies; identify approved and prohibited options
