About the Role

As Camunda undergoes its AI first transformation, we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our high impact Engineering Operations Team. In this role, you will play a key part in fostering engineering excellence by creating, implementing, and maintaining scalable core processes. Your efforts will enhance development efficiency, reliability, and quality within the Camunda 8 code bases, as well as the broader Engineering organization processes.

As Camunda 8 evolves to lead the agentic orchestration market, your mission will be to ensure our internal development lifecycle is just as autonomous, facilitating a frictionless journey. You will collaborate with infrastructure and core software engineering teams to ensure smooth workflows, robust dependency management, and continuous improvement of CI processes in the era of AI first development. This enables the Camunda 8 engineering teams to focus better on core product development.

What you will be doing:

• AI Augmented Engineering: Lead the shift toward an automated engineering lifecycle by implementing and orchestrating unified processes in the Camunda 8 repositories. This includes AI assisted processes like release management, autonomous dependency updates, and proactive CVE remediation.
• Continuously optimize CI/release health and development velocity using a metric driven approach to identify and eliminate bottlenecks in our AI first workflows.
• Collaborate with key stakeholders to implement the CI strategy and engineering best practices, making a positive impact within the Engineering organization.
• Identify friction points in engineering workflows and evolve them into automated, self sustaining systems that can handle the increased volume of an AI augmented workforce, effectively partnering with software engineers, engineering leaders, and cross team stakeholders.

What you bring:

Must Haves:

• Strong software engineering experience with a track record of delivering results (preferably in Java).
• Specialization in Fullstack or Backend development.
• A passion for engineering operational excellence beyond writing code, including CI/CD optimization, dependency management, release process enhancements, metrics collection, and build efficiency (DevOps mindset). You should have a track record of owning and developing engineering processes end to end.
• Strong experience in CI build tools (GitHub Actions, Java ecosystem - Maven, Docker) and automations (Shell/Python) in complex projects (e.g., monorepositories).
• Being a strong collaborator across teams and delivering impactful solutions in a platform like environment.
• Experience in developer experience tools and process optimization and driving AI adoption.

You thrive in taking ownership of the codebase, as well as how you deploy and operate software. You are comfortable with the “you build it, you run it” mindset.

Nice to Haves:

• Experience designing efficient cross team operations.
• Practical experience with Camunda or other BPMN systems.
