Java Spring Boot Software Engineer

Build executable workflows in BPMN 2.0, CMMN, and DMN; run them on a process engine such as Camunda, Flowable, or UiPath Maestro; and back them with clean, well-tested Java and Spring Boot services. Take ownership of delivering the solution by implementing process models and the service tasks behind them, wiring them into the existing IT landscape through REST APIs and message-based integrations, and tuning the engine for performance and scale in production.

Work closely with business and IT stakeholders to turn real-world processes into robust, executable models. Work across classic process orchestration on a workflow engine and the introduction of modern hyperautomation and agentic automation concepts. Help choose engines and patterns, define reusable building blocks, and keep the platform clean as it grows to meet enterprise needs.

We bring together AI expertise, engineering excellence and in-depth industry knowledge, driven by people who want to make a difference together. We create an environment characterised by mutual support, opportunities for professional development, open communities where knowledge is shared, peer groups and training programmes tailored to individual needs. Trust, appreciation and successes celebrated together shape the way we work and make personal development an integral part of our culture.
