Managing Director, Kilum Automation & Service GmbH
It shouldn't take three agencies to hire one developer.
Sourcing in a market you don't know, visa paperwork you've never filed, relocation logistics from far away. Velai runs it as one process — software where speed matters, one person where judgement matters.
- 01
Find the right software & IT professionals
Generic job ads and agencies reach the wrong profiles. Velai works in exactly the software and IT disciplines German employers ask for — and scores every profile against your role.
- 02
Run a clean hiring process
You see curated profiles with match scores, run your interviews and make the offer. Scheduling, feedback and paperwork are coordinated on both sides.
- 03
Get your hire to Germany
Degree recognition, Blue Card application, embassy appointment, flights, city registration — planned, tracked and owned by your account manager from contract to first working day.

How Velai works — product structure, not a promise of results.
Software & IT talent for German employers.
Mid-career professionals — typically 3 or more years of experience — relocating for on-site or hybrid employment in Germany. Focused specialties, deliberately narrow.
SAP & ERP
Consultants and developers for S/4HANA transformation — MM, PP, SD, ABAP and Fiori — from greenfield programs to brownfield migrations.
Embedded & Automotive
Embedded C/C++ and AUTOSAR engineers, ADAS software and automotive-grade development for Tier-1 suppliers and OEMs.
Software engineering
Backend and full-stack developers — Java with Spring Boot, Python and Node.js, TypeScript and React — building the services German teams run on.
Cloud, DevOps & Data
Cloud and platform engineers — Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS and Azure — plus data engineers working in Python, Spark, dbt and Snowflake.
Software speed. Human ownership.
Reminders, checklists and status tracking run in the product. Your account manager takes on everything that needs judgement — and a signature.
