Description

We're Celonis, the global leader in Process Intelligence technology and one of the world's fastest-growing SaaS firms. We believe there is a massive opportunity to unlock productivity by placing AI, data and intelligence at the core of business processes - and for that, we need your help. Care to join us? The Role We are looking for a Senior Backend Software Engineer (Java) to join the Provisioning & Licensing team. This is a high-impact role that demands significant autonomy and ownership, driving the technical design and delivery of mission-critical systems. You will be responsible for our core provisioning pipeline. Additionally, you will apply your expertise and technical knowledge to support the development of our strategic Self-Managed Platform Solution for highly regulated, on-premise environments. If you thrive on complexity, enjoy taking architectural contributions from design to production, and want to own systems that directly enable multi-million dollar market expansion, this is your next role. The Team You will be part of the Provisioning & Licensing team, the vital "glue team" between our business functions and the core platform. The team owns the latency-sensitive internal APIs for automatically creating new tenants based on customer data, as well as our internal Feature & Configuration system (like a car configurator, just for microservices!). Your team is a central internal unit with many touchpoints across other engineering teams and business teams like Licensing Management. We use OKRs to shape our goals. We value your input and expect you to contribute actively to the prioritization discussions in our dynamic environment. The Tech Stack Our stack is modern, cloud-native, and focused on portability to support our strategic on-premise deployments. Core Technologies: Java 17, Spring Boot, Postgres as the main datastore. Containerization: We are all in on containerization and orchestration, running our applications on Kubernetes (K8s). Architecture: We develop within a new & modern modular monolithic application with strongly enforced boundaries between the modules. DevOps: Writing deployment files with the help of Kustomize and deploying our applications with Github CI and ArgoCD. We use Datadog for metrics, logs, and as our APM tool. The Work You’ll Do This role requires you to operate with a high degree of independence, owning complex technical problem spaces, and applying your expertise to strategic initiatives. End-to-End Problem Ownership: Independently take ownership of significant portions of the development process from architecture to delivery. You build it, you own it! (We mean it.) Self-Managed Solution Contribution: Contribute to the implementation of the Self-Managed Platform Solution. You will support the team by implementing components, tooling, and integration patterns, leveraging your knowledge of Kubernetes, IaC, and On-Premise environments to help package and operationalize our core platform. Technical Strategy: Have a strong say in the technical vision and strategy for your team, balancing trade-off decisions between the cloud and self-managed deployment models (hello, complexity!). Reliability & Scalability: Continuously focus on the scalability and reliability of our services, upholding the defined latency SLAs. Collaboration & Documentation: Collaborate with other Engineering teams (i.e., Identity, Platform) to deliver broad-impact technical projects. Actively ensure high software quality standards and thoroughly document processes, concepts, and insights (help us save time later!). The Qualifications You Need 7+ years of professional experience building high-performance Java applications. Strong practical experience with Spring frameworks. Expert-level familiarity with containerization (i.e., Docker) and proven experience deploying and managing applications on Kubernetes (K8s). Experience with REST APIs and/or distributed micro-service architecture. Experience in writing and setting up comprehensive tests (unit and integration tests). Strong communication skills in English and a passion for clean and understandable code. Nice to Have (High-Impact Skills): Infrastructure as Code (IaC):: Hands-on experience with tools like Terraform. Systems Programming: Experience with languages like Go for building automation and tooling. On-Premise Experience: Prior experience with the architectural and operational challenges of On-Premise or Self-Managed enterprise solutions, including deployment models and packaging (e.g., Helm). Experience with monitoring and log analysis capabilities (i.e., DataDog). What Celonis Can Offer You: Pioneer Innovation: Work with the leading, award-winning process mining technology, shaping the future of business. Accelerate Your Growth: Benefit from clear career paths, internal mobility, a dedicated learning program, and mentorship opportunities. Receive Exceptional Benefits: Including generous PTO, hybrid working options, company equity (RSUs), comprehensive benefits, extensive parental leave, dedicated volunteer days, and much more. Interns and working students explore your benefits here. Prioritize Your Well-being: Access to resources such as gym subsidies, counseling, and well-being programs. Connect and Belong: Find community and support through dedicated inclusion and belonging programs. Make Meaningful Impact: Be part of a company driven by strong values that guide everything we do: Live for Customer Value, The Best Team Wins, We Own It, and Earth Is Our Future. Collaborate Globally: Join a dynamic, international team of talented individuals. Empowered Environment: Contribute your ideas in an open culture with autonomous teams.
