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 Team: The Application Delivery team is part of the Reliability & Developer Experiences (RDE) org at Celonis. We build the platforms, pipelines, and tools that power software delivery across the company. Our mission is to empower engineering teams to ship code with speed and confidence, while maintaining a high bar for availability, security, and quality. We partner closely with infrastructure, SRE, testing, and application teams to create a seamless, scalable, and resilient developer experience. Why This Role Matters: As a Senior Software Engineer (Release Infrastructure), you’ll take ownership of core systems that impact hundreds of engineers. You'll help application teams to improve time to production, reduce developer friction, and ensure reliability at scale. This is a high-impact role with visibility across engineering and leadership. You’ll help define the direction of our internal platform and play a key role in shaping how features are launched at Celonis. The Work You’ll Do: Accelerate delivery: Lead efforts to reduce Time to Prod across all services by improving automation and tooling. Build for impact: Design and implement developer-facing infrastructure that reduces friction and improves software quality across Celonis’s engineering teams.

Feature flags approach: Help scale feature flag-based deployment strategies to enable controlled, reliable, progressive rollouts. Scale reliability: Enhance observability, incident response, and deployment safety across Celonis’s software stack. Own what you build: Take ownership of critical systems—from concept to rollout to support—in partnership with SRE, Platform Infrastructure, and Product teams. The Qualifications You Need: We care more about your ability to solve problems and build great tools than a checklist of technologies. That said, some must-haves for success in this role: 5+ years of experience in backend, DevOps, and/or platform engineering roles. Experience as a full stack engineer, working end to end Strong programming skills in at least one modern language (e.g. Python, Go, Java). Solid understanding of modern cloud-native systems (especially containers and Kubernetes). Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and monitoring. Proven ability to lead projects or own critical systems in production.
