Overview of the Team and Role

In the SAP.iO Venture Studio, we’re transforming the way SAP builds new businesses. We identify promising talent and ideas, invest between $750K and $2.5M in seed-stage capital, and scale the ventures over time.

You would be joining the SAP.iO team as the Head of Technology on a recently funded venture in the finance space. In this role, you will lead a small team of developers and grow it over time with the growth of the venture. You will be working closely with the GM and the broader Venture Studio ecosystem to bring the product vision to life.

In this role, you’ll iterate quickly with a small but high-energy team to help us to design and develop a scalable SaaS solution. You’ll manage the engineering team, set the technological vision, and execute this vision in a way that is secure, scalable, and effective. You will also own key decisions on what frameworks and infrastructure to use and will mentor and empower the developers on your team.

You should be hungry, ambitious, and be energized by helping customers solve their problems with technology. This is your opportunity to contribute to the growth of a new start-up, in a VC-style incubator, with the backing of one of the most impactful brands in enterprise software.
