Day-to-Day Job Duties

• Serve as the senior BASIS authority on the migration program — owning system architecture, sizing, and configuration decisions from a BASIS perspective

• Perform core BASIS administration: installation, configuration, patching, upgrades, transport management, and performance tuning
• Lead technical planning and execution of system copies, migrations, and cutover activities for ECC moving to Azure
• Review and validate Azure infrastructure proposals (VM sizing, storage, networking) put forward by Azure architects, ensuring they meet SAP BASIS requirements and SAP-certified standards
• Coordinate closely with Azure cloud architects — translating BASIS requirements into infrastructure asks and vetting their recommendations, rather than designing Azure infrastructure independently
• Support HANA installation activities and contribute to verification/recommendations for HANA-on-Azure setup
• Troubleshoot complex technical issues across BASIS, OS, database, and infrastructure layers
• Document BASIS architecture decisions, configurations, and migration runbooks
• Collaborate with security, network, and application teams to ensure smooth transition

Required Skills & Experience

• 10+ years of hands-on SAP BASIS experience, with demonstrated architecture-level ownership (not just operational administration)
• 3+ working knowledge of Azure infrastructure concepts relevant to SAP (VM types, storage, networking) — sufficient to validate and challenge architect recommendations, not to design Azure infrastructure from scratch
• 2+ years knowledge of SAP HANA — able to support installation and participate in verification/recommendation activities for HANA on Azure

Preferred/Nice to Have

• Formal Azure certification (e.g., Azure Fundamentals or SAP on Azure-specific certification)
• Deeper SAP HANA implementation experience
• Exposure to S/4HANA landscapes or conversion projects
