SAP Data Engineer

We are seeking an experienced SAP Data Engineer / SAP Data Architect to lead the extraction, modelling, and migration of SAP data into our cloud data lakehouse environment. This role is critical to meeting a hard deadline to decommission our current system by December, and requires deep expertise in SAP data structures, ODP/CDC extraction, and modern Medallion-style architectures.

Role: Contract SAP Data Engineer

The successful candidate will take ownership of the SAP ingestion workstream, stabilise the current approach, and deliver a scalable, production-ready data platform that transitions into a managed service post-migration.

• Lead SAP data extraction using ODP/ODQ, CDS Views, SLT, or equivalent SAP-native frameworks.

• Design and implement Medallion-aligned data pipelines (Bronze/Silver/Gold) in our cloud data lake or lakehouse (Azure/AWS/GCP/Databricks/Snowflake).

• Assess and remediate the current third-party implementation, identifying blockers and accelerating delivery.

• Define the SAP data model strategy, including prioritisation of modules (FI/CO/MM/SD/PP etc.) required for December cutover.

• Build scalable ingestion pipelines using Delta Lake/Parquet and modern orchestration tools (ADF, dbx, Airflow, etc.).

• Collaborate with SAP functional teams to validate business logic, deltas, and data quality.

• Implement CI/CD and DevOps practices for data pipelines.

• Ensure governance, lineage, and monitoring are in place for production readiness.

• Support transition to a managed service after migration is complete.
