  • Both environments are in different lifecycle stages – one in stabilization, one in build and rollout phase.
  • Engineers are expected to bring a cloud-agnostic mindset, solving challenges creatively beyond specific vendor tools.
  • The team includes experienced international engineers working collaboratively with SAS Netherlands and internal client teams.
