Join NVIDIA's team of world-class innovators and work with a dedicated group that drives the future of AI and Enterprise data products. As a Senior Databricks Developer, SAP S/4 Data Products and Governance, you will play a key role in enhancing our SAP S/4HANA data capabilities and advancing innovation in data products and governance. This is an outstanding chance to create a significant impact in a company known for its groundbreaking technology and inclusive culture.

What you’ll be doing:

• Compose, build, and maintain scalable Databricks pipelines using PySpark, SQL, Delta Lake, notebooks, and workflows, following reusable engineering patterns and performance guidelines.
• Build SAP S/4HANA and ECC datasets across bronze, silver, and gold layers, encompassing finance, supply chain, procurement, order management, inventory, manufacturing, customer, supplier, and master data domains.
• Convert SAP business processes into reliable facts, dimensions, metrics, measures, and reusable semantic data assets that aid analytics, reporting, AI/ML, and governed self-service.
• Implement strong data quality, reconciliation, validation, lineage, observability, and production support measures to guarantee reliable, business‑ready datasets.
• Work closely with SAP functional experts, business systems analysts, data architects, BI developers, and data scientists to understand source logic and deliver well‑documented, trusted data products.
• Use Unity Catalog and Immuta to handle catalogs, schemas, tables, views, permissions, tags, comments, lineage, ownership, and specific access controls (row filters, masking, policy enforcement, auditing) consistent with governance standards.
• Assess and apply SAP data extraction technologies (CDS views, ODP/ODQ, SLT, SAP Datasphere, SAP BW extractors, BODS, APIs/OData, replication flows, SAP Business Data Cloud) to build efficient, reliable ingestion patterns.
• Advise data engineers and analysts, and produce reusable templates, patterns, and documentation to onboard new SAP domains and elevate the team’s overall engineering maturity.

What we need to see:

• 12+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, BI engineering, or enterprise data platform development.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (or equivalent experience) in Information Systems, Computer Science, or Business.
• Solid hands-on experience with Databricks, Apache Spark/PySpark, SQL, Delta Lake, and constructing production-level data pipelines.
• Proven experience modeling and building curated datasets from SAP S/4HANA or SAP ECC, with solid knowledge of SAP data structures and extraction methods.
• Comprehensive knowledge of SAP business procedures and data structures in one or more domains such as finance, supply chain, procurement, sales, inventory, manufacturing, or master data.
• Practical experience with Unity Catalog managing permissions, catalogs, schemas, tables, views, tags, comments, lineage, and data discovery within a regulated environment.
• Working knowledge of Immuta or similar governed data access platforms, including policy‑based controls, masking, row‑level security, user attributes, groups, and auditing.
• Experience applying data quality, reconciliation, testing, monitoring, and performance optimization for large‑scale, enterprise datasets.
• Established track record of supporting other developers and advancing the team’s engineering approaches, code quality, and production readiness.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills for collaborating with both technical teams and business collaborators.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Practical experience working with SAP Business Data Cloud, SAP Datasphere, SAP BW, SAP SLT, ODP/ODQ, CDS views, BODS, or SAP APIs/OData for sophisticated data integration and extraction.
• Track record of preparing SAP datasets for AI/ML, forecasting, anomaly detection, feature engineering, GenAI/RAG, and self‑service analytics and dashboards.
• Familiarity with semantic modeling, metric views, certified datasets, business glossaries, and data-focused delivery.
• Experience with modern analytics and BI tools such as Tableau, Power BI, Alteryx, Dataiku, or similar platforms.
• Solid background in CI/CD, Git, Databricks Asset Bundles (or a comparable workflow orchestration), automated deployment, data privacy, least‑privilege access, sensitive data classification, and enterprise data governance.
