At SAP, we integrate AI technology with extensive industry-specific data and deep process knowledge to create innovative AI capabilities for all SAP applications. Large Language Models (LLMs) hold immense potential to change the way we work and develop products. They are reshaping the landscape of Machine Learning across various domains. However, their limited ability to leverage tabular data leaves a considerable share of enterprise data untapped. It is SAP’s mission to overcome this challenge within the realm of Business AI. Our goal is to adapt Foundation Models to SAP data, enabling our clients to solve their business processes more effectively.

The Role:

• Unique opportunity to lead the development of Foundation Models on structured business data embedded in a rich and diverse business context
• Technical lead for the project team of AI Scientists and Data Engineers, providing strategic guidance and overseeing project execution
• Design a representation suitable for Self-Supervised Learning on data across the entire SAP application and process portfolio
• Define processes, methods, hypothesis, experiments and review results from the ground up with an understanding to put them together for End-to-End Foundational Models.
• Leverage semantic business and process knowledge in the form of a Knowledge Graph
• Collaborate cross-functionally with other teams to understand needs and requirements, ensuring the Foundation Models align with strategic company objectives of embedding AI into our product portfolio
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of AI and Data Engineering trends and apply this expertise to improve team performance and product quality
• Establish and drive research collaborations with academic and commercial partners
• Contribute to thought leadership in a revolutionary new data modality for Foundation Models and Generative AI
