Camunda; Atlanta (GA); On-site; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Camunda in Atlanta, GA seeks a Senior Product Designer to own the headless experience across API, CLI, SDKs, and configurations. You’ll collaborate with product, engineering, marketing, and legal to define conventions, improve the developer experience, and ensure reliability from the first API call to production.

You will design for agents as first-class users, align with the UI/UX designer, and enable builders to ensure consistent API design quality across initiatives.

Qualifications

• Design background with real experience on API, developer, or platform products (not a pure engineer)
• B2B SaaS experience, ideally in highly regulated industries
• Has designed APIs, CLIs, MCP servers, or tool schemas that LLM agents consume, and knows how they fail (ambiguous errors, non‑idempotent calls, capabilities an agent cannot discover)
• Hands‑on experience with agent‑first or AI‑first experiences
• Ability to make abstract systems concrete, testable, and explainable

Responsibilities

• Own the headless experience as one product with clear ownership and a real design bar
• Shorten the path from first API call to running in production
• Build confidence that teams can trust the API in operation
• Design for agents as first‑class users, alongside humans
• Keep one experience together with the UI/UX product designer at the seam between UI and headless
• Enable builders so API design quality does not depend on one person

• Keep one experience together with the UI/UX product designer at the seam between UI and headless
• Enable builders so API design quality does not depend on one person
• A clear definition of what "good" looks like for the headless experience, with principles and conventions that builders actually apply
• Measurable progress on Time to First Production for the assigned initiatives
• A well‑defined interface with the UI/UX product designer, with no breaks between UI and API experiences
• Agents can discover, call, and recover from errors in our APIs and tools without human help, with a measurable agent task success rate
