BERNER pushing the limits – for those who dare more
Making a choice about your career and your employer is a choice about your future - a future where you will invest your passion and a large portion of your time, energy, and capacity.
Build our integration platform from scratch.
BERNER pushing the limits – for those who are ready to build what’s next.
The BERNER Group is transforming its IT landscape across Europe. A new integration platform based on Workato and SAP BTP will connect our systems, data, and business processes.
Now we need an experienced integration engineer who is excited to build it.
You will start with a greenfield setup: configure the platforms, build the first recipes and interfaces, connect SAP and non-SAP systems, establish deployment and monitoring, and take integrations into production.
This is a hands-on engineering role. You will spend most of your time building, testing, debugging, and improving real integrations. Because you are creating the foundation, you will also shape the technical patterns and standards that others will use later.
No finished platform. No established playbook. A real opportunity to build something from scratch.
WHAT YOU WILL BUILD
Set up and develop our group-wide integration platform based on Workato and SAP BTP
Build the first business-critical integrations from end to end
Develop Workato recipes, APIs, webhooks, events, and SAP interfaces
Connect SAP and non-SAP applications across our European organization
Create reusable connectors, components, templates, and integration patterns
Configure environments, access, certificates, secrets, and platform services
Establish practical development and deployment processes
Implement testing, logging, monitoring, alerting, and error handling
Debug failed integrations and solve technical issues in production
Improve the platform continuously based on real delivery experience
Document solutions so that future team members can build on your work
Support and guide additional integration engineers as the team grows
You do not need to be an expert in both Workato and SAP BTP. Deep hands-on experience with one platform and the willingness to quickly learn the other are more important.
THIS ROLE IS A GREAT FIT IF YOU
Prefer building working solutions over creating slide decks
Enjoy starting with a blank page and creating the technical foundation
Like combining platform setup, integration development, and problem-solving
Want ownership without moving away from hands-on engineering
Are comfortable making decisions, testing ideas, and improving them along the way
Want to help shape and later grow an integration engineering team
NICE TO HAVE
Workato certifications
Experience with SAP BTP Integration Suite or SAP Cloud Integration
JavaScript, Groovy, Java, Python, or comparable programming skills
Experience with Git, automated testing, DevOps, and CI/CD
Knowledge of API management and observability
Experience introducing reusable development patterns or supporting other engineers
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
A genuine greenfield project with the freedom to build the platform properly
A role focused on hands-on engineering and visible results
End-to-end responsibility from the first integration to production operations
Direct impact on BERNER’s transformation across Europe
The opportunity to shape the technical setup and grow with the platform
Training and certification opportunities for Workato and SAP BTP
A future team that will build on the foundation you create
