Meet your team
Our Database Interfaces team is responsible for implementing all the programming interfaces for SAP HANA, our state of the art in-memory, columnar database technology. We support many interfaces including: ODBC, JDBC, Ruby and Python that make it easy for software developers to create their own ground-breaking big data and data analytics applications that harness the power of SAP HANA. We also create interfaces that allow SAP HANA to share data with other database products so customers can create hybrid database solutions.
Like most software development teams, we use a build/test pipeline to ensure software quality and to prepare enhancements for release to our customers. Every software change runs through the pipeline where it must build successfully, satisfy security and quality checks, and pass a series of automated functionality tests.
Your role will be to modernize our existing build infrastructures, investigate/integrate new technologies and troubleshoot problems. Your main tools will be Python, Jenkins, and Groovy, but there may be opportunities to explore other topics like cloud technologies and testing frameworks.
Join us. We look forward to helping you build your skills, and we can’t wait to see what you can achieve.
