Job description

We bring together AI expertise, engineering excellence and in-depth industry knowledge – driven by people who want to make a difference together. This leads to future-proof solutions that genuinely make a difference in our customers’ everyday lives. We achieve this through people who take responsibility, recognise opportunities and turn technological possibilities into tangible results. To this end, we create an environment characterised by mutual support: opportunities for professional development, open communities where knowledge is readily shared, peer groups and training programmes tailored to your needs. Trust, appreciation and successes celebrated together shape the way we work together and make personal development an integral part of our culture.

What You Can Move

We are looking for a Process Automation Engineer (Java / Spring Boot) who wants to build real systems - but not spend ten hours a day writing the same CRUD boilerplate. In this role the architecture is the process: you model 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. You take ownership of delivering the solution by implementing the 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.

Working closely with business and IT stakeholders, you turn messy real-world processes into robust, executable models that actually run. Your work spans both classic process orchestration on a workflow engine and the introduction of modern hyperautomation and agentic automation concepts. You have a direct hand in how we build automation – choosing engines and patterns, defining reusable building blocks, and keeping the platform clean as it grows to meet demanding enterprise needs.

As part of the adesso Business Automation Line of Business, you join a collaborative, international, and multidisciplinary engineering team. You’ll work on innovative projects that blend hands‑on engineering, process modelling, and orchestration frameworks – enabling organisations to achieve new levels of efficiency and agility through automation.

HOW YOU SUCCEED

• You hold a successfully completed degree in Computer Science, Business Informatics, Data Science, or a comparable field with relevant focus. Or completed an apprenticeship in IT sector.

Who You Are

• Possess an agile mindset with strong communication skills, customer orientation, and confidence in face‑to‑face interactions
• Able to write readable, testable, and maintainable code following the clean code principles
• Enjoy analytical tasks, including the analysis of processes and data
• Energised by modelling systems and orchestrating how the pieces fit together, not only by writing application code all day
• Strong team player with excellent presentation and collaboration skills
• You confidently use AI tools in your field, critically evaluate the results, and help clients and adessi leverage the potential of AI.
• Fluency in English and C1 proficiency in German.
• Project‑based willingness to travel is required.

Professional Experience

• at least 3+ years related professional experience

Core Technical Skills

• Proficiency in Java, particularly with Spring Boot
• Experience with JUnit testing and mocking frameworks
• Strong knowledge of DBMS, SQL, JPA, ORM
• Skilled in build automation using Maven or Gradle
• Proficient with version control systems (e.g., Git)
• Solid understanding of RESTful web services and working with JSON/XML

Additional Skills

• Proficiency with Docker
• Experience with DevOps tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, Kustomize, Octopus, etc.)
• Hands‑on experience with Kubernetes
• Knowledge of OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC)
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies (SCRUM, Kanban, SAFe, etc.)
• Awareness of AI Agents and related concepts

Nice To Have

• Hands‑on experience with a workflow / process engine such as Camunda, Flowable, or UiPath Maestro – building and running executable processes, not just diagrams
• Practical command of the standard modelling notations – BPMN 2.0, CMMN 1.1, and DMN 1.3
• Comfortable orchestrating long‑running processes: service tasks, message and signal events, timers, and decision tables
• Knowledge of deeper process modelling and architecture notations (advanced BPMN patterns, UML, event‑driven and microservice design)
• Experience in frontend development, ideally with React
