At Kestra, we’re on a mission to make orchestration and automation simpler for everyone. Our open-source platform helps teams manage complex workflows with confidence, and we’re already making a big impact in businesses around the world. Now, we’re looking for a Full Stack Engineer to help us take things to the next level.
In March 2026, we closed a $25M Series A led by RTP Global, with participation from Alven, ISAI, and Axeleo – backed by founders from Datadog, dbt Labs, and Hugging Face.
What You’ll DoAs a Full Stack Engineer at Kestra, you’ll get to:
Build and improve our core platform backend using Java (Micronaut).
Create seamless user experiences with responsive frontends using Vue.js and Bootstrap.
Expand our plugin ecosystem and maintain our suite of integrations (Java).
Work on enterprise solutions, crafting products that scale with our customers’ needs (Java, Vue.js).
You’ll 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 StackBackend: 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’ll get the opportunity to explore new tools and approaches as we grow.
What We’re Looking For4+ years of experience in both backend (Java) and frontend (Vue.js, React, or similar).
Someone who can lead major architecture decisions and drive key initiatives.
Strong experience with testing and automation, and familiar with agile development practices.
A love for building great products that solve real problems.
The ability to work well both independently, remotely and as part of a team.
Excellent communication skills, both written and spoken, in English.
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.
Contributed to or maintained an open-source project.
Experience with high performance application or Micronaut.
Knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and public cloud services (AWS, GCP, Azure).
Familiarity with relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL).
Experience working with high-performance, distributed systems.
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.
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.

What We Do
Kestra is an open-source orchestration platform that makes both scheduled and event-driven workflows easy. By bringing Infrastructure as Code best practices to data, process, and microservice orchestration, you can build reliable workflows and manage them with confidence. In just a few lines of code, you can create a flow directly from the UI. Thanks to the declarative YAML interface for defining orchestration logic, business stakeholders can participate in the workflow creation process. Kestra offers a versatile set of language-agnostic developer tools while simultaneously providing an intuitive user interface tailored for business professionals. The YAML definition gets automatically adjusted any time you make changes to a workflow from the UI or via an API call. Therefore, the orchestration logic is always managed declaratively in code, even if some workflow components are modified in other ways (UI, CI/CD, Terraform, API calls).
