Тhis role requires 24/7 rotating shifts, including weekends and nights. Тhe role is maternity replacement for 1 + 1 years

What You Will Do:

Cloud Operations

• Monitor SAP cloud solutions and drive immediate response to service disruptions and degradations
• Contribute to escalations and drive technical troubleshooting in bridge calls with affected Lines of Business until service is restored
• Monitor the execution of maintenance activities and uphold SLA and team KPIs
• Participate actively in post-incident analysis
• Contribute to continuous process improvement

AI Engineering

• Contribute for designing LLM-driven agents based on skill-routing patterns
• Curate and evolve a skill library — self-contained skill definitions with clearly declared tool bindings, trust levels, and confirmation checkpoints
• Wire agents into production systems: ServiceNow, alerting pipelines, APIs, and internal knowledge sources
• Contribute to shared agent memory and feedback loops that lift skill quality over time
• Package, deploy, and operate agents on SAP environments.
• Perform rigorous agent testing — including decision-quality assessments, not just task-completion checks
• Embed input from operations team testing into agent workflows before implementation

What You Bring

Technical Skills

• Database administration skills (MySQL, transactional databases) and solid experience in Unix/Linux environments
• Strong knowledge in containers and Kubernetes fundamentals
• Experience with cloud platforms and hyperscalers (AWS, GCP, Azure), including cloud infrastructure and cloud-native services
• Knowledge and experience with LLM applications beyond prompt crafting — including tool invocation, structured output handling, and agent control loops

• Familiarity with monitoring solutions such as Grafana, Kibana, or Dynatrace
• Knowledge of ITIL/ITSM processes
• Advantageous
• Strong Knowledge of Python (primary language for agent work)

• Expertise in troubleshooting databases and large-scale distributed systems

Soft Skills & Mindset

• Excellent team player — self-motivated, proactive, and composed under pressure
• Customer-oriented with a desire to work in a fast-changing environment
• Production-safety focused: you recognize the failure modes that matter — hallucination, tool misuse, runaway loops, and trust boundary breaches
• You reason in terms of contracts: what an agent is authorized to do unattended, what it must propose for approval, and what it must never do
• Strong documentation habits — investigation documentation, agent designs, skill contracts, and the reasoning behind decisions
• Fluent in English, written and verbal

Meet the Team

• Cloud Service Management is a global organization with locations in Germany, Canada, India, China, and Bulgaria. In Sofia, we operate our One Operations Center — home to mission-critical cloud operations activities supporting some of SAP's critical products.
