Integrations Software Engineer

About Kestra

Kestra Technologies is on a mission to make orchestration and automation simpler for everyone. Our open-source platform helps teams manage complex workflows with confidence, and we are already making a big impact in businesses around the world. We are looking for an Integrations Software Engineer to help us take things to the next level.

What You'll Do

As an Integrations Software Engineer at Kestra, you will:

• Build and maintain plugins that connect our platform with external systems, APIs, and databases.
• Develop and implement custom plugins for our customers to integrate their systems with Kestra.
• Perform thorough testing of integration solutions to identify and resolve issues promptly.
• Stay updated on emerging technologies and best practices to continuously improve our integration capabilities.

You will be working in an environment where speed and agility are key, and where delivering value to our customers is always the top priority.

Our Tech Stack

• Backend: Java, Micronaut
• Frontend: Vue.js, Bootstrap
• Datastore: Kafka, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, MySQL
• Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform
• Cloud: GCP, AWS, Azure
• Tools: GitHub for repo management, actions, and issues

We work with a variety of modern technologies, and you will get the opportunity to explore new tools and approaches as we grow. We embrace modern development tools, including AI assistants and coding agents, and we encourage engineers to leverage them to move faster, explore ideas, and improve productivity. We provide access to leading AI models and tools when needed so you can use them effectively in your daily work. That said, we strongly believe great engineers must fully understand what they build. This means mastering the business context, the architecture, performance considerations, security implications, and quality standards of the code being produced. You should be comfortable reviewing, validating, and improving AI-generated code, and ultimately take ownership of the entire lifecycle from understanding the problem and designing the solution, to implementation, testing, and delivery. AI can accelerate the work, but responsibility, critical thinking, and technical judgment always remain with the engineer.

What We're Looking For

• Professional Background: A minimum of 4+ years in backend development, with experience in Java and familiarity with the modern Java ecosystem.
• Polyglot position: Experience in other languages (Python, Node.js, Go, ...).
• Systems Knowledge: Strong understanding of protocols, including REST, JSON, GRAPHQL, SQL, MQ, etc.
• Quick Learner: You're curious and eager to learn new technologies and frameworks, adapting quickly to different technical environments.
• Problem Solver: An ability to tackle technical challenges head-on, delivering simple and effective solutions.
• Independence: The role demands a high degree of autonomy, requiring you to manage your workload and projects independently. You're able to work in a fast-pace startup culture to quickly deliver new integrations to our customers.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Contributed to or maintained an open-source project.
• Knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and public cloud services (AWS, GCP, Azure).
• If you have worked with lots of different technologies (Databases, Queues, ...).

Perks & Benefits

• Work from anywhere: We’re a remote-first company, so you can work from wherever feels like home. Plus, you’ll have access to coworking spaces worldwide if you ever need a change of scenery.
• Health coverage: From medical support, dental, and vision, we've got you covered.
• Home office setup on us: We’ll provide all the equipment you need to work comfortably.

Our Hiring Process

We aim to move quickly (2-3 weeks), but we can adjust the timeline if needed.

• Intro call with the hiring manager (30 min)
• Technical test (2 hour, homework done in async)
• Team chat with two of your future colleagues (30 min)
• Final discussion with one of our co-founders (30 min)

We’re here to make the process smooth and transparent for you.
