**Meet your team**

Join us in providing cutting edge data management and data analytics services hosted in the cloud. Our products include SAP HANA Cloud (an in-memory relational database) and SAP Data Lake (which combines the computing speed of an in-memory database with the huge data capacity of a traditional disk-based database). Our services run both on SAP’s proprietary cloud and on hyperscalers like AWS, Azure and GCP.

Running in the cloud means using the latest technologies to enable running at huge scale. Our software may be running on thousands of machines, in data centers across the globe. Automation, self-healing algorithms and providing self-serve options are the keys to meeting customer demand for near perfect availability. Creating user instances, rolling out software upgrades, rolling back buggy changes, recovering from hardware and software failures, and monitoring performance and load are just some of the things we need to automate using microservices. This work offers tremendous opportunities to learn cloud technologies such as Go, Kubernetes operators, Docker, AWS, Azure and GCP.
