(Senior) Product Security Specialist/ DevSecOps - SAP HANA Cloud

We help the world run better
At SAP, we keep it simple: you bring your best to us, and we'll bring out the best in you. We're builders touching over 20 industries and 80% of global commerce, and we need your unique talents to help shape what's next. The work is challenging – but it matters. You'll find a place where you can be yourself, prioritize your wellbeing, and truly belong. What's in it for you? Constant learning, skill growth, great benefits, and a team that wants you to grow and succeed.

Meet your team

HANA organization is a global organization dedicated to delivering data management solutions that address customers’ unique and competitive business requirements. Join a team that helps protect one of SAP's most strategic cloud platforms. Your work will directly contribute to the security, compliance, and reliability of services used by customers running business-critical workloads around the world.

Our services are designed and implemented using cutting-edge technologies, especially Kubernetes and Containerization. They are running at a large scale in all major cloud provider infrastructures. With a strong focus on reusability across HANA & Analytics portfolio, we are fulfilling our responsibility to provide an enterprise-ready unified data and semantics layer that ultimately enables our customers to build mission-critical, scalable, and reliable applications on top of our services.

What you'll bring

• Proven experience developing and operating microservices in cloud-native environments using DevSecOps practices
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and security automation tooling (e.g., Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or equivalent)
• Deep understanding and hands-on experience with Kubernetes, including security hardening (pod security policies, network policies, secrets management) and public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Experience with user access and identity management — including RBAC design, least privilege enforcement, and secure authentication mechanisms (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML)
• Good understanding of encryption, secrets management, and key rotation strategies (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, KMS)
• Solid scripting skills (e.g., Python) to automate security operations, remediation workflows, and compliance reporting
• Experience with log aggregation, observability, and visualization platforms (e.g., Grafana, Loki,etc) for security monitoring and compliance evidence
• A strong collaborative mindset with the ability to drive and embed secure practices across engineering teams

What you'll build

• Design, develop and operate scalable microservices that deliver critical security functionalities for SAP HANA Cloud, following secure-by-design and DevSecOps principles
• Embed security into CI/CD pipelines — integrating automated security scanning, vulnerability management, policy enforcement, and compliance check as first-class pipeline stages
• Enable a trusted and secure environment for our customers by translating regulatory and internal security requirements into automated, code-driven controls
• Design and maintain secure access control mechanisms — including RBAC models and authentication/authorization flows — as integral parts of the platform's security architecture
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams to shift security left — align security goals with development priorities from design through deployment
• Implement and maintain infrastructure-as-code and policy-as-code practices to ensure consistent, auditable, and repeatable security configurations
• Provide ongoing observability, support, and continuous improvement for deployed security services to ensure high availability, performance, and resilience

Where you belong

You'll take ownership of critical platform systems and act as a technical reference point for less-experienced engineers. Collaboration across global teams is expected: sharing your expertise, contributing to platform capability improvements, and raising engineering standards. The team values accountability, and the expectation is that problems get surfaced and resolved, not worked around. If you want genuine ownership of production systems and the responsibility that comes with it, this is the right level.
