The development center of SAP in Bulgaria is technology-focused and plays a key role in the defining and developing of the SAP Business Technology Platform. With its more than 2000 professionals, SAP Labs Bulgaria also has strong contributions towards life-cycle management, user interface & user experience across the broader portfolio of SAP products. For its 24-year history, the company has established itself as a preferred employer in the IT sector in Bulgaria.
What you’ll do:
Our team delivers the Business Technology Platform Unified Metadata Service – an innovative solution at the core of SAP’s Intelligent Enterprise. The Unified Metadata Service (UMS) allows discovery and management of Metadata Graphs at scale based on an open collaboration model between Metadata Providers and Metadata Consumers. Metadata Providers can onboard new Metadata Types via desired-state-based resource definitions which will automatically result in auto-generation of the respective management and discovery interfaces in UMS. Metadata Providers can then build plug-ins that can write instances of the respective Metadata Types into UMS. The Metadata Instances of these Metadata Types form an inter-connected graph of data. This allows Metadata Consumers to discover the Metadata instance graphs via the rich search capabilities of the service. The concept of Metadata Visibilities allows for defining flexible access policies as to which consumers can access what information.
The Unified Metadata Service is also becoming a key building block for the Apeiro Reference Architecture (https://apeirora.eu/) for Unified Data and Metadata Management and will be open-sourced in 2025 so that other EU companies, participating in Apeiro, can also contribute.
Our team also builds API first backbone aggregation services that collect metadata about the customer landscape systems and application integrations from various providers, exposes this metadata via APIs and UIs for landscape discovery and a smart framework for applications to exchange security configurations automatically.
