Kestra is an open-source orchestration platform for data, AI, and infrastructure workflows. It is event-driven, language-agnostic, and built for enterprise scale, offering declarative YAML workflows, an API-first design, CI/CD-native features, and 1800+ plugins to integrate cloud, data, infra and SaaS tools. Kestra ships as self-hosted (Docker/Kubernetes) and a managed cloud edition, and provides enterprise capabilities (SSO, RBAC, audit logs, multi-tenancy, isolated workers) alongside AI-native features like RAG pipelines, agents, and a Copilot to operationalize and govern AI workflows.

📋 Description

• Design and build the execution primitives for AI workflows in the Kestra engine • Build and maintain the plugins that connect Kestra to LLM providers and agent frameworks • Turn real agent use cases into reusable blueprints, together with the product team • Keep AI executions observable and debuggable to the same standard as the rest of Kestra

🎯 Requirements

• A strong Java background. You have built and maintained production Java systems, not used Java in passing. • Hands-on experience with LangChain4j or a comparable Java agent framework • A clear mental model of how agentic systems are actually run: tool calls, state, retries, failure modes • Comfort working close to an orchestration engine, where correctness and reliability matter more than demos.

🏖️ Benefits

• 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.
