Software Engineer – R&D, Java, Cloud & AI – Remote / Heidelberg – €85,000

Overview

This isn’t your average Java role.

You’d be joining a 30-year-old software company that’s completely reinventing itself - modernising its ERP platform (used by 35,000+ end users) with microservices, Kubernetes, AI, and business intelligence .

The team sits at the crossroads of deep business logic and modern engineering — building software that genuinely makes complex retail and distribution processes run smoother.

You’ll work in a tight-knit R&D team that values clean code, clever solutions, and long-term thinking over quick fixes.
