Senior Technical Architect – Hybrid (Product / Platform) (m/f/d)

Your missionCloud Native Node.js & AI-enabled Product with SAP Private Cloud Integration | Senior / Principal Level  As Senior Technical Architect – Hybrid, you own the technical design across our two worlds: the cloud-native, AI-enabled product line built on modern Node.js architectures, and its integration into the SAP Private Cloud platform landscape.  Your focus is approximately 70% Public Cloud product architecture and 30% SAP Private Cloud platform architecture. You are the architect who makes the hybrid seam work – ensuring that public cloud innovation and the SAP core evolve as one coherent, scalable, and future-proof landscape rather than two disconnected estates.  Your Responsibilities  Cloud-Native Product Architecture (Primary Focus)Design of microservices architectures on Node.js  API-first and event-driven architecture concepts  Definition of service boundaries, data flows, and integration patterns  Ensuring multi-tenant capability and tenant isolation  Non-functional design: performance, scalability, resilience, cost  AI Integration in ProductTechnical architecture for AI features in the product  Integration of LLMs or AI services within defined guardrails  Design of RAG and agentic patterns over product and platform data  Performance and cost optimization of AI-driven features  Hybrid Integration Architecture (Public ↔ Private Cloud)Design of the integration layer between cloud-native products and SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud  API and event contracts across the hybrid boundary (OData, REST, SAP Business Events, Event Mesh)  Data ownership, consistency, and synchronisation patterns across both estates  Identity, authorisation, and trust propagation across the hybrid landscape  SAP Private Cloud Platform Architecture (Secondary Focus)Architectural guidance for S/4HANA Private Cloud extensions and side-by-side scenarios  Enforcement of clean core principles and SAP development standards  Architectural review of SAP-side designs together with the SAP Private Cloud & SCM architect  Awareness of core SCM process flows (SD, MM, EWM) as they surface into product capabilities  DevOps & Deployment ArchitectureCollaboration with infrastructure and deployment engineers across both estates  Architecture design for containerization and cloud deployment  CI/CD and environment strategy spanning public and private cloud pipelines  Design GovernanceCreation of HLD, SDD, and TDD up to epic level  Technical review and sign-off responsibility in the Architecture Board  Translation of enterprise guardrails into actionable design standards for teams  Organizational Context  Embedded in the Engineering functionSenior / Principal LevelPart of the Architecture BoardOperates within guardrails defined by the Enterprise ArchitectWorks in close tandem with the Technical Architect – Public Cloud and the Technical Architect – SAP Private Cloud & SCM Your profileSeveral years of experience as an architect in cloud-native environmentsStrongexpertisein Node.jsExperience with microservices and API architecturesStrong understanding of event-driven systemsExperience integrating AI into software productsCloud architecture experience (containers, orchestration, scaling)Working knowledge of SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud and clean core extension patternsProventrack recorddesigning integration between cloud-native applications and an ERP coreHigh technical credibility with senior engineers in both cloud-native and SAP teamsPlus Experience with SAP BTP and SAP CAP (Node.js/CDS)Experience with RISE with SAP orhyperscaler-hosted SAP environmentsExposure to SCM processes and SAP modules (SD, MM, EWM)Experience with ABAP / RAP at review levelechnology Stack Public Cloud & Product (≈70%)Node.js, TypeScript, microservices, API-first design  Containers and orchestration (Kubernetes / Kyma), Cloud Foundry  Event-Driven Architecture, SAP Event Mesh, SAP Business Events  CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, observability  SAP Platform & Extensions (≈30%)SAP BTP, SAP CAP (N
