HR payroll and personnel management platform for public and social sector
KIDICAP is a German HR software vendor serving 25,000+ organizations in public administration, healthcare, churches, and social services. The tech stack—Java, Quarkus, Kubernetes, Oracle—combined with active greenfield rebuild and cloud-native migration projects signals a modernization cycle underway. Engineering-heavy hiring (10 of 11 open roles) focused on mid-level and intern talent suggests they're scaling both new product work and internal capability, likely to accelerate the legacy-to-cloud transition.
KIDICAP develops a cloud-native HR platform covering payroll processing, personnel administration, and workforce management. The product operates as a SaaS offering, primarily deployed in private cloud environments, and handles the specialized compliance and tariff requirements of German public employers, hospitals, and nonprofit organizations. Founded in 1996, the company has built deep domain expertise in regulated payroll and HR workflows. Current engineering effort centers on refactoring core components into cloud-native architecture while maintaining the platform's extensive payroll and tariff configuration engine.
KIDICAP runs on Java, Quarkus, Kubernetes, Oracle, and React. The backend uses JBoss/WildFly with Hibernate ORM; testing relies on JUnit, JMeter, Selenium, and Playwright. They're adopting Groovy and Kotlin for new development.
KIDICAP is executing a greenfield rebuild of its core HR product, migrating legacy components to cloud-native infrastructure on Kubernetes. Current work includes new web-app development, SaaS platform components, and tariff configuration systems for regulated payroll.
