Are you passionate about software engineering and eager to collaborate with an international team of experts? Do you have a keen interest in observability platforms and aspire to contribute to a globally leading product?

Join one of our Licensing teams, where we're developing the next-generation account and subscription management platform. Our mission is to provide valuable insights into feature usage for our customers and internal customer-centric roles, along with notifications and functionality to control feature usage at various levels.

Our engineering teams thrive on a foundation of technical excellence, freedom, feedback, and responsibility. We embrace the philosophy of "You build it, you run it." Our approach is characterized by an agile mindset to ship high-quality customer value in iterations.

In Licensing, our teams specialize in microservices within their respective domains. These microservices are hosted in the cloud, utilizing Kubernetes for orchestration. Our tech stack primarily includes the latest versions of Java, Kafka, and Jetty, while our tool stack features Jenkins, ArgoCD, Gradle, and Terraform. We store data in MySQL, PostgreSQL, and the Dynatrace data lakehouse, Grail. Through automation, we ensure that all libraries we use are consistently updated to their latest versions.
