Step Into Mission-Critical Data Leadership

What happens when you blend technical mastery with the power to influence business outcomes? As a Remote SAP HANA DBA, you’ll shape the digital nervous system that allows enterprises to adapt, innovate, and move boldly. Picture yourself driving system resilience, performance, and scalability—while collaborating with stakeholders who genuinely value your expertise. If orchestrating complex data landscapes excites you, and you thrive in environments where every optimization changes the game, let’s talk.

How You’ll Make an Impact

Every database instance you fine-tune, every failover you plan, every query you optimize—your efforts fuel transformation for global teams. You’ll ensure SAP HANA landscapes stay secure, responsive, and future-proof. When issues arise, your troubleshooting instincts kick in. However, your real power lies in anticipating problems, automating routine tasks, and sharing best practices that elevate the entire team. You’ll support system upgrades and migrations, guide business units through capacity changes, and design backup strategies that ensure reliability. As the data guardian, you provide both compliance and speed, making data available at the pace of business.

Key Responsibilities

• Optimize SAP HANA databases for maximum performance, availability, and scalability, enabling agile decision-making throughout the organization.
• Lead proactive monitoring using remote administration tools, instantly addressing anomalies before they become bottlenecks.
• Partner with application developers, infrastructure engineers, and data architects to deliver seamless end-to-end solutions.
• Design, implement, and test robust backup and disaster recovery protocols—your planning keeps teams productive and protected.
• Guide SAP HANA version upgrades and migrations, minimizing disruption and unlocking new feature capabilities.
• Leverage automation and scripting to streamline workflows, reduce manual work, and create self-healing environments.
• Manage user access and data security, ensuring that compliance and privacy standards are always met—without sacrificing agility.
• Analyze query execution plans and index strategies, continually finding new ways to speed up critical business processes.
• Document and communicate solutions in clear, approachable language—whether you’re training a teammate or briefing leadership.

Your Toolkit & Technologies

You’ll operate in a world that’s always on and ever-evolving. Day-to-day, you’ll rely on:

• SAP HANA Studio, SAP HANA Cockpit, and command-line utilities
• Remote monitoring and alerting platforms (think: Solution Manager, Nagios, custom dashboards)
• Cloud-based SAP environments (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Linux shell scripting and automation tools (Bash, Python)
• Data replication, backup, and high-availability technologies
• Security, encryption, and compliance frameworks for enterprise data

What Sets You Apart

You know database performance isn’t just numbers—it’s the foundation for business agility. Your background may include formal study in information management, computer science, or a related field; however, what matters most is your hands-on experience in orchestrating complex SAP HANA environments. You’re comfortable running root-cause analyses and aren’t intimidated by high-stakes incidents—your steady approach keeps teams calm. When it’s time to train colleagues or demystify technical concepts, you do it with empathy. Maybe you’ve completed SAP HANA certification or have managed multi-tenant landscapes across hybrid cloud setups. You see patterns, predict needs, and lead change.

The Remote Work Experience

This isn’t just about dialing in from anywhere—it’s about owning outcomes. You’ll connect with global teams using collaboration tools like Slack, Teams, and Confluence to keep everyone informed. Autonomy is key: you’ll manage your schedule, prioritize based on impact, and always have room to innovate. While some days call for deep solo focus, others are spent guiding group troubleshooting sessions or coaching peers. You’ll have the space to level up your skills, experiment with new SAP releases, and contribute to an environment where every team member’s perspective matters.

Growth & Rewards

Change-makers thrive here. You’ll tackle projects that stretch your problem-solving muscles and give you a voice in how technology supports business strategy.
