We focus every day on building the foundation for tomorrow and creating a workplace that embraces differences, values flexibility, and is aligned to our purpose-driven and future-focused work. We offer a highly collaborative, caring team environment with a strong focus on learning and development, recognition for your individual contributions, and a variety of benefit options for you to choose from. 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) are transforming Machine Learning but pose challenges in business applications due to their limited understanding of structured and unstructured business data such as business data models, business process metadata and documentation, which slows the development progress. It is SAP's mission to overcome these challenges within the realm of Business AI. Our goal is to provide Knowledge Graphs (KG) as key differentiators to address LLM challenges like hallucination and compliance and to deliver distinctive generative AI solutions to our customers.  As a Senior AI Scientist, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and executing data engineering activities while driving AI-driven innovation for SAP’s Knowledge Graph initiatives.

Contribute to the development and deployment of AI-driven solutions, focusing on LLM applications and their integration with Knowledge Graphs. Extract, preprocess, and enrich information from various Line of Business (LoB) data sources to support foundational models and AI use cases. Collaborate with domain experts across SAP’s business units to align AI and data engineering strategies with business goals. Build stable and scalable applications to operationalize AI models and ensure their seamless integration into enterprise systems. Guide junior team members and foster a collaborative team environment. Lead critical design and implementation decisions, ensuring the alignment of AI and data engineering architectures with SAP’s strategic vision. Drive thought leadership in generative AI by leveraging Knowledge Graphs and foundational models for business innovation. 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with at least 2 years as a data engineer and significant exposure to AI/ML applications.

Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure, or BTP). Strong knowledge of relational databases, object stores, and vector databases. Experience in Knowledge Graph technologies (e.g., RDF, SPARQL) and familiarity with SAP S/4HANA backend data models (e.g., CDS Views, RAP) is a plus. Expertise in building scalable data pipelines for AI applications, particularly those involving LLMs or similar models.
