We are the layer that turns a customer's model into something they and their AI agents can query interactively using our Process Query Language across enterprise-sized datasets.The team actively evolves our new premium query engine, collaborating with multiple other teams across time zones. New features, improved operationability, robust security, and allowing for scalable customer workloads are ours to design and ship.Our defining program right now is a multi-year migration of the query engine that has powered Celonis for years onto our new premium query engine.

You will analyze how the engines differ on real customer workloads, develop tooling, classify the root causes, and turn them into concrete follow up actions across teams.Continuous operations are a crucial part of your job. You will help keep the engines and their orchestration healthy while the entire fleet moves underneath them, because a migration on this scale does not get a pause in customer traffic to work with.Your work at Celonis will directly impact companies and people around the globe as they improve their processes to save money, reduce waste, improve automation and generally become more efficient.**The work you’ll do:*** Lead the design and delivery of the services our team owns across new and existing microservices in Java, Spring, RabbitMQ and Postgres, from architecture through to production operation* Evolve the new premium query engine by owning and delivering entire feature sets addressing new and extended use cases, tightened security robustness, and closing gaps* Drive query engine migration milestones end to end and ensure operationability across their shared libraries as dependency workflows grow more frequent and complex* Establish and extend AI agent tooling to carry repetitive operational and development processes across our team* Sustain the operational and security robustness of our Tier 0 and Tier 1 services throughout feature development and the migration, and take part and improve how the on-call rotation works**The qualifications you need:*** University degree in Computer Science or comparable education* 5+ years of professional experience building Java applications that are scalable, reliable and testable, including owning it in production* Fluency inJava and Python is required* Strong experience with data-intensive, performance-critical distributed systems* Experience rolling out changes across a large fleet of distributed systems, and the instinct for incremental, reversible, measurable steps that comes with it* A track record of developing and operating systems that process data workloads at scale* Strong knowledge of data structures and algorithms from a performance point of view, and of asynchronous and concurrent programming* Ability to turn a vague, customer-facing problem into a concrete executable plan, and to explain that plan to stakeholders who are not engineers* Excellent communication skills in English, German is a plus* Preferred experience: Java Spring Boot, Kubernetes, Databases, C++**What Celonis can offer you:*** Pioneer Innovation: Work with the global leader in Process Mining and the Process Intelligence Graph to shape the future of AI-driven business operations.* Ownership from Day 1: Every full-time \"Celonaut\" is an owner, receiving Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and merit-based refresh grants.* Unrivaled Family Support: Benefit from our inclusive parental leave policy—24 weeks of fully paid leave for primary carers and 12 weeks for supporting carers, available from your first day of employment.* Work-Life Integration: Enjoy Unlimited PTO (in applicable regions) and generous PTO globally, as well as a flexible hybrid work model that balances remote focus with vibrant office collaboration.* Continuous Growth: Elevate your skills through our 70-20-10 learning framework, mentorship programs, and access to a dedicated learning platform.* Holistic Well-being: Prioritize your health with subsidized Wellhub memberships, mental health counseling, and dedicated \"Wellness Weeks\" that prioritize work/life balance.* Drive Sustainability: Participate in annual Impact Days, where you receive paid time off to volunteer for community and environmental causes with your local office, or virtually.* Global Inclusion & Belonging: Find community through our Inclusion Think Tank and participate in our annual Inclusion Days, ensuring every voice is heard and valued.* Value-Driven Impact: Join a mission-led organization where our core values—Live for Customer Value, The Best Team Wins, We Own It, and Earth Is Our Future—drive every decision.**About Us:**Celonis is the trusted platform to industrialize Enterprise AI, empowering organizations to analyze, design, and operate AI-driven processes.
