SAP Basis Administrator (Freelancer)

Mactores is the agent-native AWS modernization firm. We help large companies move their data, applications, and AI workloads to AWS, and we use agents to do it in weeks, where the rest of the industry still takes quarters or years. Most modernization projects stall before they reach production. Ours don't. Our engineers ship real systems running in production, legacy retired, and outcomes you can point to. The way we work is built around that outcome from day one. Agents handle the repetitive work so engineers can focus on the judgment calls. As our SAP Basis Administrator, you'll build the SAP HANA environments our engineering teams depend on, the sandboxes where we prototype customer migrations, the DEV and QA tiers where we prove refactors before they touch production. You'll own that layer of our stack. You'll design it, automate it, and make it reliable enough that engineers stop thinking about it. The role is remote from India, working PST hours so you're in the room with US engineering leads as decisions are made. You'll be the SAP Basis voice on customer calls, and the person engineering counts on when something needs to come up clean and fast.  

What you will do?: Build non-production SAP HANA environments on AWS, including sandbox, DEV, and QA tiers, for active customer engagements.

Install SAP HANA, apply patches, configure system parameters, and tune each environment for the workloads it is sized for.

Set up backup, recovery, and basic high availability for non-production systems so engineering teams can break and rebuild safely.

Manage transports, user administration, and role provisioning across the SAP system landscape.

Troubleshoot performance, connectivity, and configuration issues across the SAP and HANA layers.

Document build steps and runbooks so engineering teams can self-serve where possible.

Coordinate with US-based engineering leads during PST hours. Clear status, clean handoffs, no surprises.

What are we looking for?: 4+ years as an SAP Basis Administrator with hands-on SAP HANA experience.

Track record in building and operating non-production SAP landscapes end-to-end.

Working knowledge of AWS, including EC2, EBS, VPC, and IAM, sufficient to deploy SAP workloads.

Strong written and spoken English. You will be on calls with US engineering leads and customer counterparts. Communication is part of the job, not a soft skill.

Willing and able to work PST business hours from India.

You'll be preferred if you: Have installed or migrated SAP HANA on AWS specifically, not only on-prem.

Have worked on S/4HANA, BW/4HANA, or HANA-based analytics workloads.

Hold an SAP HANA Technology Associate certification or an AWS certification (SAA, SysOps).

Have scripted Basis tasks in Bash, Python, or PowerShell.
