Senior Backend Engineer (f/m/d) - Kotlin

One success factor of our SAP LeanIX product is the efficient collection of data from variant systems, processing them, and reducing the data to its relevant information for Enterprise Architecture roles. This enables our customers to get an insightful view of technologies and applications to assess risks like missing important security patches orfinding better technologies to use for the same business use case.

Out of the wide pool of integrations, Team Sailors has focused to care about the ServiceNow integration and building a flexible integration that exchanges data between ServiceNow and our backend services. As a Senior Backend Engineer you would help to further drive the value our integration services provide to our customers, while ensuring the scalability, efficiency, and sustainability of our services.
