Celonis
We're Celonis, the global leader in Process Mining technology and one of the world's fastest-growing SaaS firms. We believe there is a massive opportunity to unlock productivity by placing data and intelligence at the core of business processes - and for that, we need you to join us.
The Team:
Our team provides a scalable identity management infrastructure to support enterprise-grade authentication/authorization. We enable customers to access the right resources when needed while keeping them safe.
Our team mainly owns Celonis’s identity provider, user management, and API gateway services and we evolve those in three different areas:
Secure the system which includes upgrading our technology to well-proven standards (e.g. OAuth 2.0), making sure our systems are performant, reliable, and available. Our service is at the core of our product, without it, customers cannot use EMS at all.
Making it easier for customers to get started, for example, through different solutions like Single Sign-On (via SAML or OIDC) or programmatic user provisioning and de-provisioning (via SAML-JIT or SCIM).
Enabling new use cases, that are not possible without early infrastructure developments and changes (e.g. modernizing authorization and authentication to allow modern permission systems).
