Technology Engineer

Role Overview

• Design and implement a SUSE-based virtualization platform using KVM as the hypervisor
• Define standard VM blueprints (CPU, RAM, storage, network) for SAP and non-SAP workloads.
• Deploy and configure a LINSTOR storage cluster to provide scalable, redundant block and/or object storage.
• Integrate LINSTOR with the KVM platform for guest disk volumes and SAP storage needs.
• Establish capacity planning, data protection, and failure handling guidelines for the software-defined storage layer.
• Implement Software-Defined Networking (SDN, OpenNebular)
• Define security zones, firewall rules, and routing patterns aligned with SAP and enterprise requirements.
• Development of high level and low level documents for the respective area (Compute, Storage, Network, Container, Orchestration)
• Integration of new platform components into the existing integration points / standard technologies (such as AdminLan, etc.)
• Standardize on Infrastructure as Code using Terraform (infrastructure provisioning) and Ansible (configuration management).
• Build reusable modules/roles to automate: Host provisioning and configuration.
• Enable request, change, and incident workflows that trigger automation (Terraform/Ansible) and update CMDB where needed.
• Maintain a living architecture document covering all layers: compute, storage, network, automation, observability, integrations.
• Produce operational documentation: installation guides, runbooks, troubleshooting procedures, “how-to” guides for consumers (e.g., SAP teams).
