SAP Basis Automation Engineer

Avantra
Richmond, Greater London

Avantra is the leading observability and automation platform for SAP operations, built to give enterprises and managed service providers control, visibility, and automation across hybrid SAP landscapes. We help SAP teams run faster, safer, and smarter, on ECC, S/4HANA, RISE, BTP and SaaS.

As we continue to grow, we are expanding our SAP Engineering team with a new SAP Basis Automation Engineer. SAP Engineering at Avantra is mostly about engineering; analysing and developing solutions that are shipped on our platform, but we also play a key part in the product; identifying the problems we can solve and guiding the development of our platform.

The person we are looking for has strong experience in running SAP software for multiple customers. They will have strong SAP Basis experience, and must use automation and scripting to achieve their goals, whilst still having dreams of what else they wish they could build to help them in their role.

Responsibilities

  • Analyse SAP software on-premises and in the cloud to design and specify new automations and solve observability problems

  • Develop automations to solve SAP operations problems, including scripting and development, testing, documentation and shipping the software

  • Provide a strong product opinion for what problem we solve next, how we solve it, and what you would want if you were using Avantra to run SAP landscapes

  • Install, configure and maintain SAP software to replicate real-life cutting-edge scenarios and support the continued development of Avantra

  • Stay up-to-date and knowledgeable about the latest SAP technologies and developments, best practices and cybersecurity as well as SAP-adjacent technologies

What You Bring

  • More than five years of experience in running and supporting SAP landscapes

  • Deep SAP Basis expertise, ideally gained in a service provider environment or across multiple SAP customers with hands-on work and decision making

  • Programming, scripting or low-code automation experience (e.g. JavaScript, Python, PowerShell, Avantra automations, or Ansible) and knowledge of Linux

  • Exposure to SAP cloud technologies (eg. SAP Business Technology Platform, RISE with SAP, SAP Core AI, Joule, or Clean Core projects)

  • Experience with technical security and compliance in SAP, perhaps from answering auditors requests or working in a regulated environment

  • Hands-on experience with observability, automation or security tools like SAP Solution Manager, SAP Cloud ALM, or those from third-parties

  • Excellent communication skills to explain complex security issues to both engineers and executives
