Job Description

Job Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and forward‑thinking Senior SAP Platform Engineer (SAP Basis) to lead the operation and transformation of P&G’s SAP platforms. This role is responsible for ensuring high reliability, security, scalability, and cost efficiency of SAP NetWeaver and SAP S/4HANA landscapes while driving the evolution toward a self‑driving SAP operational core.

The Senior SAP Platform Engineer will bring deep hands‑on expertise in SAP Basis, combined with strong experience in HANA and Oracle databases, Linux system administration, automation, and platform engineering practices. Beyond day‑to‑day operations, this role plays a critical part in advancing SRE practices, AI‑assisted operations, and automation‑led transformation, enabling faster upgrades, lower risk, and reduced manual toil.

This role offers the opportunity to influence platform strategy, mentor engineers, and deliver measurable impact across P&G’s mission‑critical SAP environments in a fast‑paced, global setting.

Your Team

The Senior SAP Platform Engineer will report to Director, SAP Platform Operations based in Manila and will be part of the SAP Platform Operations team.

The team is responsible for ensuring SAP platforms are reliable, resilient, secure, and cost‑efficient, while safeguarding P&G’s critical end‑to‑end business processes. In parallel, the team is driving a multi‑year transformation to evolve SAP Platform Operations into a future‑proof, self‑driving operational model powered by automation, AI, SRE principles, and institutionalized engineering expertise.

The SAP Platform team operates globally and is organized into regional teams, with key operational hubs in Costa Rica, India, and the Philippines, supporting a follow‑the‑sun delivery model.

How success looks like

Self‑Driving Operational Core. SAP operations are largely automated and AI‑enabled, with minimal manual toil and predictable, data‑driven outcomes.
High‑Velocity SAP Upgrade & Patching. Upgrades and patching are fast, repeatable, and low‑risk, executed through standardized, automated and AI-enabled processes.
Risk‑Based Vulnerability Management. Vulnerabilities are prioritized by business risk and remediated within P&G’s Technical Vulnerability Management standards.
Bulletproof Business Continuity (DR/HA). DR and HA failovers are reliable, tested, and automated, consistently meeting RTO and RPO targets.
FinOps‑Driven Operational Intelligence. Cost, performance, and reliability insights guide engineering decisions, ensuring efficient and scalable SAP operations.
