The opportunity

Celonis is the trusted platform to industrialize Enterprise AI. At our core is the Celonis Context Model — which combines process data, business knowledge, and intelligence into a living digital twin of the enterprise that AI can actually understand, turning AI's operational blind spots into operational clarity.

What you'll do

  • Cloud Infrastructure: Cloud-native platform, expanding beyond current AWS and Azure dependencies toward provider-agnostic deployment.

  • Core Technologies: Java, Postgres.

  • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, a Go-based operator.

  • Systems components: Rust (database proxy).

  • Containerization: Kubernetes.

  • DevOps: Kustomize, GitHub CI, ArgoCD/Kargo, Datadog for metrics/logs/APM.

What they're looking for

  • Take ownership of one or more Java components in the Postgres ecosystem, including newly onboarded ones.
  • Work alongside the infrastructure-as-code side of the stack (Terraform,: operators) to understand how your components are provisioned and operated.
  • Improve reliability, performance, and security of the components you own.
  • Where applicable, maintain forks of open-source projects: tracking upstream changes and making deliberate calls about merging versus diverging.
