SAP BTP Platform Engineer Portugal

Role overview

We are looking for an external SAP BTP Platform Engineer, based in Portugal, to strengthen a business-critical platform team. The role focuses on platform setup and configuration, not application development.

The BTP platform team is currently two external engineers, supporting a large developer community. This role reduces that key-person risk and bridges the gap until an internal platform position opens.

You will work closely with a team member, who leads the move to infrastructure-as-code with Terraform, and with the wider team in Portugal. The role is remote, with occasional days at the Lisbon office to work with the team in person.

Key responsibilities

• Set up, configure and operate the SAP BTP landscape: global accounts, subaccounts, directories, entitlements and quotas.
• Build and maintain BTP configuration as code with Terraform (SAP BTP Terraform provider)
• Manage platform services and connectivity: Cloud Foundry and Kyma environments, Cloud Connector, destinations, integration with on-premise systems.
• Own identity and access: SAP Cloud Identity Services (IAS/IPS), role collections, trust configuration.
• Support development teams with environments, CI/CD and transport setup, and platform standards.
• Monitor platform health, cost and usage; handle platform incidents and service requests.
• Document the platform and help transfer knowledge to the future internal platform engineer.

Required skills and experience

• 4+ years in platform, cloud or infrastructure engineering, with at least 2 years hands-on on SAP BTP administration.
• Solid knowledge of the BTP account model, entitlements, Cloud Foundry environment and SAP Cloud Connector.
• Hands-on Terraform experience; infrastructure-as-code and Git-based workflows.
• Experience with SAP Cloud Identity Services and BTP security concepts (role collections, trust, SSO).
• Comfortable working autonomously in a small team and documenting what you build.
• Fluent English; based in Portugal and able to travel to Lisbon occasionally.

Nice to have

• Kyma runtime / Kubernetes experience.
• CI/CD on BTP (SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery, GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps).
• SAP Integration Suite, SAP Build or Cloud Transport Management setup.
• SAP certification, e.g. SAP Certified Administrator – SAP BTP.
