Platform Management & Operations

  • Operate and optimize the Cloud Management Service, monitoring subaccount health, resource utilization, and operational stability
  • Use BTP CLI and CF CLI for platform operations, automation, and scripted environment management
  • Enforce platform governance standards, naming conventions, and environment consistency
  • Support troubleshooting across the entire platform stack—including identity, services, connectivity, and application runtime issues

DevOps & Automation

  • Automate platform provisioning and service configuration using Terraform for BTP
  • Build and support CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, integrating transports, quality checks, and deployment orchestration
  • Manage Cloud Transport Management Service (CTMS) pipelines for multi‑environment delivery
  • Implement operational automation and ensure repeatable, compliant, auditable infrastructure patterns

You will serve as a platform SME, collaborating with application teams, security teams, architects, and integration specialists to ensure SAP BTP is delivered as a secure, scalable, and high‑performing enterprise platform.
