Job description

Camunda is the enterprise platform for agentic orchestration, enabling organizations to coordinate AI agents, people, and systems across complex, end-to-end business processes. With built-in governance, auditability, and human oversight, Camunda gives enterprises the control they need to move AI from pilots to production — safely and at scale. Trusted by over 700 organizations worldwide, including 9 of top 10 US banks, Camunda helps enterprises boost operational efficiency, accelerate time-to-value, and deliver better customer experiences. Fully remote and global, we are in the middle of something bigger: transforming into an AI-first organisation, built on our own platform. We use Agentic AI to automate, orchestrate intelligent processes, and elevate human contribution across every team. Named GP Bullhound’s Top 100 Next Unicorn list, 2025 Great Place to Work certified. Visionary in 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Business Orchestration and Automation Technologies. ranked 3rd in Flexa's 2026 Most Flexible Companies, We’re growing fast and looking for top talent to join our team. If you want meaningful work, visible impact and put something genuinely rare on your CV, keep reading.

About the role:

Camunda builds the platform for agentic orchestration, and we want to build our own product the same way. In this role you own how we build products: the Product Development Process (PDP) and the automation behind it. You also build agentic processes on Camunda for the Products department's own work. They use our product the way customers do, so we learn from our own experience. You work across Engineering and Product Strategy. You are hands‑on: you design the process, and you also build and run the automation yourself. This is a fully remote role.

Curious about the kind of challenges you'll work on at Camunda? Watch this quick 30-minute talk from our engineers to learn more about the new Camunda Exporter and how we’re solving complex problems at scale.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Own the PDP end to end, for both our Core and Experience tracks: process design, stages, board hygiene, and how we define and track an epic.
• Align the PDP with Product Strategy so that strategy, initiatives and epics connect, and both divisions trust the process.
• Fix and run the PDP automation (built on Camunda 8): source control, tests, a test environment, monitoring, and one shared foundation for both tracks.
• Run Camunda Products on Camunda: build agentic processes for our own product work that use our product the way customers do, and feed what we learn back to the product teams.

What You Bring:

• Ability and/or willingness to use our product
• Product, design and technical skills in one person. You can judge whether a workflow is good for its users and also build it yourself. A product‑only background is not enough.
• Hands‑on engineering: you write code and scripts, work with GitHub, CI/CD and APIs, and can debug integrations.
• Process ownership: you have designed and changed a product or engineering process in a software company with 100+ engineers.
• Practical AI agent experience: you have built agents or agentic workflows that do real work, not only tried them.
• Cross‑team influence: you get Product, Engineering and leadership to agree on one way of working.

Nice‑to‑haves:

• Experience with BPMN, Camunda, or other workflow engines.
• A background in product operations, developer experience, or platform engineering.
