Meet your team: 

Join the Cross Engineering, Experience & Excellence (CE3) team at SAP, where we are shaping a seamless, intelligent, and fully integrated experience across the lines of business. Our mission is to build Agentic AI solutions that transform complex business challenges to strengthen organizational synergy across all layers of SAP’s ecosystem.

As we enter a new era of intelligent transformation, CE3 is pioneering a focused strategy to accelerate and scale Agentic AI across SAP’s IT landscape. This strategy centers on enabling autonomous, goal‑oriented AI agents that can proactively interpret intent, orchestrate multi‑step workflows, and deliver outcomes with minimal human intervention. To achieve this, we are investing in a unified Agentic AI platform built on reusable capabilities—contextual reasoning engines, safe action frameworks, enterprise‑grade guardrails, and robust integration patterns across SAP systems.

Our approach emphasizes rapid experimentation, cross‑team enablement, and responsible scaling. We are leveraging shared architectural standards, ethical governance, co-innovation workstreams, and reference implementations that allow engineering teams across SAP to adopt Agentic AI faster and more consistently. By coupling this with SAP’s trusted data foundation and domain expertise, we empower every solution area to unlock higher levels of automation, personalization, and enterprise productivity.

In CE3, you will play a key role in shaping this next wave of human‑AI collaboration—where intelligent agents augment every workflow, elevate user experience, and help our internal customers achieve more with confidence and clarity.
