Develop and tune high-fidelity threat detection rules for SAP-specific attacker behavior across the Security Audit Log (RSAU), HANA audit trails, BTP audit services, and Kyma runtime telemetry.
Lead technical incident response and forensic containment for regional SAP security events, coordinating seamlessly with global incident response teams across time zones.
Execute offensive validation and attack-path analysis across SAP protocols, BTP configurations, and containerized workloads to identify weaknesses and translate findings into lasting engineering defenses.
Implement technical controls aligned with regional cybersecurity regulations, data security standards, commercial cryptography requirements, and cross-border data transfer mechanisms.
Evaluate security posture across regional cloud hosting providers, external software components, and local service partners against Apple's rigorous security baseline.
Collaborate cross-functionally with SAP Basis, infrastructure, network, and application teams to conduct technical design reviews and integrate security smoothly into existing operating models.

Experience administering and securing SAP BTP within the China (Shanghai) region, including local service catalogs and regional deployment constraints.
Experience with SAP threat detection platforms (SAP Enterprise Threat Detection, Focused Run) and modern detection-as-code or SIEM workflows.
Experience with Kubernetes and container security applied to SAP Kyma or cloud-native microservices.
Experience with SAP Integration Suite security architecture at scale, including keystore and certificate lifecycle management.
Experience evaluating cloud security postures across regional public cloud providers (such as Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, AWS China, or Azure China).
Industry-recognized security certifications (such as CISSP, OSCP, or relevant cloud/SAP security credentials).

Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Experience in hands-on security engineering for enterprise ERP or large-scale, business-critical platforms, with technical depth in both on-premise SAP (NetWeaver, HANA) and SAP BTP.
Experience analyzing and securing SAP technical attack surfaces at the protocol and infrastructure level (RFC, SAP Gateway, ICM/Web Dispatcher, SAProuter, Cloud Connector).
Experience designing and implementing cloud identity, federation, and authorization architectures (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, JWT validation, mTLS, and SAP Cloud Identity Services).
Experience in at least two core security domains: security architecture design, detection engineering/SIEM development, incident response, or offensive security and penetration testing.
Experience with Linux system administration, network architecture, and scripting (Python preferred) to build automated security tooling.
Professional fluency in written and spoken English and Mandarin, with experience collaborating across regional and globally distributed teams.
Ability to support an overlapping schedule with US-based teammates and participate in occasional international travel.
