SAP Security Product Developer

Avantra is the leading AIOps platform for SAP operations - built to give enterprises and managed service providers control, visibility, and automation across hybrid SAP landscapes. We help SAP teams run faster, safer, and smarter - whether they’re on ECC, S/4HANA, RISE, or SaaS.

We’re now expanding our platform with a new Security Operations (SecOps) for SAP capability - combining security observability, compliance automation, and intelligent remediation to close the operational gap SAP leaves behind.

This role will be a founding architect for that product.

Key Responsibilities

Product & Strategy

• Define and evolve the security and compliance product roadmap in partnership with Product Management and Engineering.
• Translate operational pain points (audit readiness, certificate expiry, vulnerability patching) into automated, scalable product capabilities.
• Shape the security data model and integration architecture (SAP systems, BTP, SIEM, and HotNews feeds).
• Partner with the AI team to extend Avantra AIR into AI-driven root cause and remediation for security events.
• Own the definition of security observability dashboards and reporting aligned to frameworks (ISO27001, NIST, SOC2, SAP Security Baseline).

Execution

• Develop proof-of-concepts for new SecOps features (e.g. automated certificate renewal, HotNews relevance scoring, SAP Note remediation).
• Guide the engineering team in implementing security automations and compliance checks.
• Collaborate with design to ensure the user experience simplifies security for SAP operators, not security experts.
• Validate new features directly with customers, ensuring we’re solving the right problems for auditors, operators, and CISOs alike.

Thought Leadership

• Represent Avantra in customer and analyst discussions on SAP security operations.
• Benchmark competitor offerings and identify opportunities for product differentiation in SAP hybrid and RISE environments.
• Contribute to internal enablement: helping pre-sales, GTM, and customer success articulate the value of security automation within Avantra.

Requirements

• Deep SAP security expertise, ideally gained in enterprise operations, managed services, or SAP audit environments.
• Strong understanding of SAP authorization concepts, user provisioning, and security baselines across ECC, S/4HANA, and BTP.
• Familiarity with security frameworks (ISO27001, SOC2, NIST, SAP Security Baseline).
• Hands‑on experience with SAP Solution Manager, SAP Cloud ALM, or other observability and automation tools.
• Proven ability to connect security concepts to productized capabilities - not just internal controls.
• Scripting or low‑code automation experience (e.g. Python, PowerShell, Avantra automations, or Ansible).
• Excellent communication skills - you can explain complex security issues to both engineers and executives.

Benefits

• Competitive Salary
• Competitive holiday & benefits package
• Remote working
• 1 Avantra wellbeing holiday day
• Learning & development programme
