About the Position

DevOps Engineer – SAS Viya

ING Hubs Poland is hiring! We are looking for a skilled DevOps Engineer to join our IT Engineering team in Katowice and Warsaw, Poland. This role focuses on administering and maintaining SAS environments, specifically SAS Viya, to support our modelling teams.

Responsibilities

• Configure and maintain SAS components on the new platform to enable smooth onboarding of new models.
• Support the deployment and operational lifecycle of analytical and risk models (publishing, versioning, scoring workflows).
• Manage SAS platform artefacts: libraries, caslibs-equivalent structures, folders, authorisations, and access control.
• Collaborate with modelers to troubleshoot issues in model execution, data access, or environment configuration.
• Use SAS CLI and existing automation frameworks to execute routine tasks and assist with semi-automated deployment flows.
• Manage platform-level configuration that does not involve Kubernetes infrastructure (maintained by a separate team).
• Contribute to improving operational procedures, documentation, and knowledge base for modelling teams.
• Monitor SAS-related services (not Kubernetes), analyse logs, identify bottlenecks, and propose corrective actions.
• Ensure compliance with internal standards for security, confidentiality, integrity, and stability.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies: stand-ups, refinements, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.

Requirements

• Experience in administering SAS environments (SAS 9, SAS Viya 3.5 or similar).
• Understanding of how to configure, operate, and maintain SAS components used by modelling teams (e.g., CAS-like concepts, libraries, folders, access control).
• Ability to support modelers in publishing, deploying, and troubleshooting analytical or risk models.
• Proficiency with SAS CLI, basic scripting, and following existing automation patterns.
• Capability to perform root-cause analysis of issues in model execution, platform configuration, or user workflows.
• Basic knowledge of Azure (e.g., Azure DevOps pipelines, Azure SQL DB) and willingness to develop these skills further.
• Ability to interpret logs, diagnose issues, and collaborate with platform engineers when deeper infrastructure-level support is needed.
• Familiarity with CI/CD concepts.
• Strong communication skills in English (both written and spoken).
• Team player, reliable, proactive, eager to learn, and improve the platform continuously.

Nice to Have

• Knowledge of Azure SQL, ADLS, or exposure to Azure Fabric / analytics components.
• Experience supporting users in analytical or modelling environments.
• Experience operating and maintaining databases (e.g., Oracle, Azure SQL).
• Understanding of general security standards, access control, and data governance.

We Offer

• Competitive salary range: 9,600 – 21,000 PLN gross.
• Opportunity to work in a dynamic and evolving platform environment.
• Collaboration with SAS experts, DevOps engineers, and cloud specialists.
• Participation in Agile ceremonies and continuous improvement initiatives.

About the Company

You will join a platform-focused squad providing a stable, secure, and easy-to-use SAS environment enabling ING modelling teams to develop, deploy, and run analytical models efficiently. The platform is evolving towards SAS Viya 4, while some components are still operating on earlier SAS generations. Core cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes, Azure Fabric, networking, scaling) is handled by a dedicated engineering team - your focus will remain on SAS configuration, model onboarding, operational readiness, and supporting the modelling lifecycle.
