COMPANY DESCRIPTION

SAP started in 1972 as a team of five colleagues with a desire to do something new. Together, they changed enterprise software and reinvented how business was done. Today, as a market leader in enterprise application software, we remain true to our roots. That’s why we engineer solutions to fuel innovation, foster equality and spread opportunity for our employees and customers across borders and cultures.

SAP values the entrepreneurial spirit, fostering creativity and building lasting relationships with our employees. We know that a diverse and inclusive workforce keeps us competitive and provides opportunities for all. We believe that together we can transform industries, grow economics, lift up societies and sustain our environment. Because it’s the best-run businesses that make the world run better and improve people’s lives.

SUMMARY & ROLE INFORMATION

You enjoy using latest technologies to enable various business units to adopt conversational use cases in their products, making their applications understand natural language and reaching millions of end users? Then our position as frontend-focused full-stack developer for SAP Conversational AI might be the perfect fit for you.

You will join our “Conversation Quality” team on-site in Palo Alto to build and maintain features such as bot unit testing or conversation metrics. Your work will help our customers make changes to their chatbots built with SAP Conversational AI with confidence by providing tools to efficiently test for, detect and resolve issues in their chatbot’s logic or understanding. Additionally, you develop features that provide our customers deep insights into how their bots are used and interacted with, where conversations break down, and how effective the bot is in achieving pre-defined goals. You will further join initiatives to improve the architecture and performance of our solution, positively impacting our ability to provide a superior user experience, as well as build new features quicker and in better quality.

In your new role, you will be a part of our cross-functional team including backend and frontend engineers, data scientists, user experience designers, quality engineers, and product owners. You will enjoy full empowerment in driving the conception and implementation of the features in your responsibility, while having regular checkpoints with our lead frontend architect to validate and review your conception and implementation.

Your focus will be on our React.js frontend application, but you should be open to implement the corresponding APIs and data access layer in our micro service-based backend, too. Beyond the implementation part, you enjoy having technical discussions, ensuring the proper documentation of technical conceptions, and writing automated test cases to keep the quality of our solution high.

If this sounds like you, we are eager to receive your application and get to know you better!
