GEA

GEA is a German engineering group headquartered in Düsseldorf that supplies process technology, machinery and components such as separators, homogenizers, dryers, refrigeration systems and dairy farming equipment to the food, beverage, dairy and pharmaceutical industries. Founded in 1881 and listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the group employs more than 18,000 people worldwide and has had a US presence since 1929, and its current openings cluster in Oelde, Büchen, Alcobendas and Bogota. It hires field service technicians, project and automation engineers, sales engineers, controllers, procurement leads, SAP consultants, assembly technicians and mechanical designers.
We are looking for a highly autonomous Lead AI-Driven Developer (f/m/d) with a strong backend focus to become the go-to technical expert in our Digital Unit. You own problems end-to-end, from understanding requirements to delivering production-ready, tested, and well-documented solutions, without the need for constant guidance or multiple revision cycles.

You are someone who thrives in complexity: you navigate microservice architectures and cloud-native systems with ease, debug critical production issues calmly and methodically, and consistently leave things better than you found them.

And crucially - you are a true AI enthusiast. Not just curious about AI, but actively using it in your daily workflow for over a year, with at least six months of hands-on experience working with Agentic AI frameworks. You don't just use AI to write code, you use it to amplify your impact, accelerate delivery, and enhance engineering excellence.

You will work closely alongside our Senior Architect, DevOps, DevSecOps, and UX Designer as the technical development expert within our team, and you will:

Responsibilities / Tasks

  • Take end-to-end ownership of our solutions, from architecture and development to testing, documentation, and deployment

  • Shape and maintain our development practices and standards, ensuring high quality and consistency across the codebase

  • Empower and upskill fellow developers in effective AI-assisted development workflows

  • Design and evolve our development processes to keep pace with the rapidly changing AI landscape

  • Ensure our systems run smoothly and as autonomously as possible, proactively identifying and eliminating friction points

  • Provide expert technical guidance and actively contribute to solution design, because your voice matters here

Your Profile / Qualifications

  • Several years of hands-on experience in full-stack software development, ideally within the Java / Spring Boot ecosystem

  • Strong expertise in API development, integration testing, and troubleshooting complex production issues

  • Solid understanding of authorization concepts, permission models, and secure application design

  • Proven ability to design and implement scalable technical solutions with a high degree of autonomy

  • Experience working with Azure Cloud services, particularly AKS and Service Bus, is a plus

  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly and collaborate effectively across teams

  • Hands-on experience using modern AI-powered development tools, including AI-assisted debugging, analysis, and development workflows

AI Capabilities

  • Solid understanding of a modern AI-augmented development environment setup

  • Experienced in AI-assisted analysis & debugging, you know how to prompt for root cause analysis, not just code generation

  • Has successfully used AI Agents for parallel development in at least one real project

  • Familiar with "plan mode" and other structured AI techniques for efficient multi-tasking and task decomposition

  • Actively using AI tools for 1+ year; 6+ months hands-on with Agentic AI workflows

Why Join Our Team

  • Work at the intersection of modern cloud architecture and cutting-edge AI tooling

  • Directly shape the technical direction of a growing digital unit

  • A team that genuinely values autonomy, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement

  • No micromanagement. We hire experts and trust them.

  • Opportunity to define how AI is used across the development team, not just follow someone else's process

Why Join Us

  • Competitive compensation and attractive employee benefits

  • Global Bonus System

  • Flexible and hybrid work arrangements

  • 30 days of annual vacation, plus paid time off on December 24. and December 31.

  • Access to Corporate Benefits and exclusive employee discounts

  • Continuous learning and career development opportunities

  • International exposure within a global organization

  • Health and well-being initiatives

  • A modern, collaborative, and innovation-driven work environment
