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 organizations to achieve new levels of efficiency and agility through automation.

• 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.

• Familiarity with Agile methodologies (SCRUM, Kanban, SAFe, etc.)
• Awareness of AI Agents and related concepts

• Hands‑on experience with a workflow / process engine such as Camunda, Flowable, or UiPath Maestro - building and running executable processes, not just diagrams
