About the Role

Camunda Hub is where enterprises run Camunda at scale. From Hub they manage their clusters and tenants, decide who can do what, and roll changes out across the whole organization.

Camunda is looking for a Senior Product Builder to own the backend and architecture that let Hub manage a whole fleet of clusters. Your first focus will be the mechanism that sends access, secret, tenant and licence changes out to every connected cluster and brings deployments, health and audit records back.

From there, you will shape Hub's foundations: its event model, the service boundaries and data model other teams build on, and how Hub behaves when things fail or get upgraded. The platform is your product. Your users are platform administrators, Centres of Excellence and the builders across Camunda who depend on what you create.

You will join a new two person pod in a remote first team. You will have real ownership as the person who makes the call, and you will build AI first, from written specs through to production. Camunda customers run mission critical processes on the platform, so your work will matter to them every day.

What You Will Do

• Take over Hub's fleet propagation mechanism from the team building its first version, and make it work for access, secrets, tenants, licences and custom roles.
• Write short design documents for foundational changes, get them reviewed by the teams that depend on them, and turn them into tested, shipped code.
• Design how Hub behaves when things go wrong: offline clusters, partial failures, Hub outages, and clusters being adopted or detached.
• Build the path from clusters back to Hub, starting with deployment inventory, health, audit records and licence status.
• Design Hub's first event and webhook mechanism, so admins and agents can react to changes instead of polling for them.
• Join the pod's rotations and Hub on call, and help other builders take on backend work through reviews, guidelines and contract tests.

What You Will Bring to the Role

• Experience building and running backend systems in production that other teams or customers depend on.
• Comfort taking a problem nobody owns yet and turning it into a design, a plan and shipped code.
• Product judgment for technical users: you talk to the people who use your APIs and make trade offs on their behalf.
• Clear, short writing that lets a remote team review and decide asynchronously.
• Care for how a system behaves when parts of it fail, not only for the happy path.

Must Haves

• Designed and shipped a control plane or similar system that pushes desired state to many targets. Knows outbox or event log patterns, idempotent apply, versioning, retries and drift reconciliation.
• Senior backend engineering in Java (API design, relational data models, multi tenant SaaS services) and hands on Helm and Kubernetes for self managed installations.
• Software architecture and failure analysis: partial failure, blast radius, consistency trade offs. Has debugged production incidents in a distributed system and is ready for on call.
• Has shaped an API or platform as a product, and writes design docs other teams can build on. Gets agreement across teams without formal authority.
• Builds AI first from written specifications and checks AI output as carefully as any other code.

Nice to Haves

• Kubernetes operators or GitOps tools, for example Argo CD.
• OIDC, SCIM and permission models, or secret managers and licence systems.
• Camunda 8 or another workflow or orchestration engine.
• Enough frontend skill to build a thin UI on top of a backend capability.
