Practice Customer Engineer, SAP, Google Cloud

The Practice Customer Engineer specializing in Cortex for SAP is a critical technical leadership role focused on helping enterprise customers unlock the full potential of their SAP data. In this role, you will guide organizations through the journey of moving beyond fragmented data silos and manual Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) processes. By leveraging the Google Cloud Cortex Framework, you will enable customers to land their SAP Enterprise Central Component (ECC), S/4HANA or Business Data Cloud (BDC) data into BigQuery as predefined, analytics-ready data products. A primary focus of this role is to power the "agentic enterprise," where intelligent agents reason over real-time enterprise context to drive immediate business value. You will be responsible for demonstrating how a unified data foundation, integrated with Google's AI and data cloud, can transform complex transactional SAP structures into high-performance business outcomes. Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

Lead architectural discussions, execute technical proof-of-concepts, and secure technical wins for complex SAP data modernization initiatives. Deploy the Cortex Data Foundation on BigQuery, designing storage schemas, project structures, and unified semantic layers that integrate SAP and non-SAP data. Develop scalable SQL-based transformation pipelines and real-time Change Data Capture (CDC) replication workflows using Dataform, dbt, Cloud Composer, and various ETL tools. Enhance datasets with external Google signals and ground Vertex AI and Gemini business agents in governed data to ensure trusted, context-rich responses. Customize prebuilt Looker dashboards and Looker Studio explores to enable rapid executive decision-making across finance, sales, and supply chain domains.
