What you`ll do
At SAP, we amplify the strength of AI technology, fusing it with our robust industry-focused data and profound process knowledge. Our vision is to infuse every SAP application with sophisticated AI capabilities, revolutionizing the way businesses operate. Large Language Models (LLMs) hold immense potential to change the way we work and develop products. They are reshaping the landscape of Machine Learning across various domains. However, their limited ability to leverage tabular data leaves a considerable share of enterprise data untapped. It is SAP's mission to overcome this challenge within the realm of Business AI. Our goal is to adapt Foundation Models to SAP data, enabling our clients to solve their business processes more effectively.

The Role:
•    Unique opportunity to contribute to the development of a Foundation Model on structured business data as well as to our Knowledge Graph covering SAP domain knowledge and providing grounding to LLM applications (e.g. Joule)
•    Lead the infusion of S/4HANA data, metadata, and other development artifacts into our Knowledge Graph and Foundation Model
•    In close partnership with LoB domain experts from the S/4HANA development organization, understand and interpret SAP S/4HANA data, metadata, and other development artifacts
•    Extract relevant information from SAP S/4HANA for further processing and enrichment of our large-scale Knowledge Graph serving the Foundation Model and LLM use cases
•    Guide and inspire the Foundation Model and Knowledge Graph team with your knowledge of SAP S/4HANA
•    Guide junior project members and shape collaborations with stakeholders
•    Make critical design decisions regarding the selection and implementation of underlying technologies
•    Contribute to thought leadership in an entirely new approach towards generative AI, using the combination of Knowledge Graphs and Foundation Models

What you bring
•    PhD or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or other relevant disciplines
•    5+ years of related professional experience
•    Deep generic understanding of SAP S/4HANA backend and data model (e.g., VDM, CDS Views, RAP, OData)
•    Proficiency in Python as well as good understanding of ABAP and Data Dictionary

•    Strong communication, collaboration and leadership skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-cultural teams
•    Hands-on knowledge in cloud stack (AWS, GCP, Azure), object stores, SQL databases is a big plus
•    Experience with Knowledge Graph technologies (e.g., RDF, SPARQL) is a plus
