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.

As a small but mighty design team within SAP’s Palo Alto campus, we celebrate diversity across cultures, hobbies, and disciplines. We enjoy a light-hearted, casual environment that allows different personalities and work styles to thrive.

Our team likes to think of ourselves not just as designers but as thinkers and tinkerers too. We spend as much time researching, brainstorming, sketching and validating as we do crafting and implementing our design solutions. Collectively, our capabilities allow us to influence all aspects of the design process. Our skills involve research, interaction design, visual design, content strategy and project management. And yet, we all come together with one main purpose. From the first sticky notes of a design-thinking workshop to the last lines of code our goal is to design, develop, and deliver high-quality, user-centered, and delightful products.
