Job summary

Camunda is seeking a Senior Product Manager to own the headless experience across APIs, CLI, SDKs, and configuration. You will drive design parity with UI, set standards for developer experience, and measure agent success across production-ready interfaces.

You will co-own initiatives, define agent journeys, and ensure Time to First Production and production confidence are optimized, working with cross-functional teams to deliver a cohesive headless platform.

• 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.
