About The Position

The ideal candidate has strong SAP Basis knowledge, practical experience supporting SAP production environments, hands-on exposure to SAP Transport Management, strong troubleshooting skills, and experience with SAP CPI / SAP Cloud Integration / SAP Integration Suite. SAP BTP experience is highly preferred, as Sunshine Group plans to expand and upgrade BTP capabilities over time.
