SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) & BI Development Specialist

Interior Logic Group•Remote Tennessee, TN

About The Position

We are seeking a skilled SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) Integration Specialist with strong BI development expertise to design, build, and maintain data integration solutions across our SAP and Azure landscape. In the near term, this role will focus on connecting SAP BDC with Azure Data Factory (ADF) to ensure reliable, high-quality data flow into our Azure Data Lake (ADLS), supporting downstream analytics, reporting, and AI/ML workloads. Over time, the role will lead the migration away from ADF — replacing it with native SAP Datasphere pipelines that feed directly into Power BI — consolidating our analytics stack within the SAP BDC ecosystem. This role is critical to enabling data-driven decision-making by bridging SAP source systems with modern cloud analytics and reporting platforms.

Requirements

7+ years of SAP data and analytics experience with deep hands-on expertise in SAP BDC and/or SAP Datasphere
Strong experience configuring SAP Datasphere as a data source and building native data flows, transformation views, and analytical datasets
Proven ability to expose SAP data via OData services, REST APIs, or Open Connectors from within SAP BDC/Datasphere
Hands-on experience defining and publishing SAP CDS Views from S/4HANA into Datasphere as the extraction layer
Experience setting up remote tables, replication flows, and data persistence layers within Datasphere
Strong understanding of delta and CDC enablement on the SAP side to support incremental pipeline patterns
Hands-on experience with Azure Data Factory — maintaining pipelines, troubleshooting failures, and ensuring SLA adherence
Experience connecting SAP Datasphere to Power BI, including live connection, DirectQuery, and semantic model publishing
Experience planning or executing data pipeline migrations — ideally from ADF or similar tools into a native SAP layer
Solid understanding of SAP data models across core modules (FI, CO, SD, MM, PS)
Strong SQL and data transformation skills within SAP Datasphere and HANA Cloud
Experience managing secure connectivity between SAP BDC and Azure — OAuth, service principals, SAP Integration Suite
Experience with data modeling, ETL/ELT processes, and cloud data integration patterns
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to data accuracy
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Science, or related field

Nice To Haves

Experience with SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) as an alternative or complementary reporting layer to Power BI
Familiarity with SAP BW/4HANA Open Hub as an alternative or legacy extraction mechanism
Familiarity with SAP HANA Cloud and CDS-based analytical data modeling
Knowledge of Python or SQL scripting for transformation automation within SAP BDC
Experience with Power BI dataflows, semantic models, and enterprise-scale report governance
SAP certification in Datasphere, Analytics Cloud, or BW/4HANA

Responsibilities

Configure SAP BDC and Datasphere as the primary data source — set up connections, data flows, and outbound endpoints consumed by existing ADF pipelines
Design and implement data integration solutions within SAP Business Data Cloud, including data ingestion, transformation, replication, and orchestration
Expose SAP data via OData services, REST APIs, or Open Connectors from within SAP BDC/Datasphere for ADF and downstream consumption
Define and publish SAP CDS Views from S/4HANA into Datasphere as the primary extraction layer feeding downstream pipelines
Set up remote tables, replication flows, and data persistence layers within Datasphere to reliably stage data
Ensure delta and CDC enablement on the SAP side so incremental pipelines receive correct, complete data
Manage authentication and secure connectivity between SAP BDC and Azure — OAuth, service principals, and SAP Integration Suite where applicable
Maintain existing ADF pipelines — monitor performance, troubleshoot failures, and ensure SLA adherence during the transition period
Plan and execute the migration of ADF pipelines into native SAP Datasphere data flows and transformation layers
Build and optimize Datasphere analytical datasets and semantic models to serve as the direct source for Power BI
Configure and maintain SAP Datasphere to Power BI connectivity — live connection, DirectQuery, or dataset publish patterns
Develop and maintain BI reports, dashboards, and analytical models using SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) and/or Power BI
Collaborate with functional and technical teams to understand data requirements and translate them into scalable solutions
Monitor data pipeline performance, troubleshoot issues, and ensure data quality and integrity
Document integration architecture, data flows, migration progress, and BI solutions; support end-user training and adoption
