About the Role

ProcessOS is a new kind of Camunda product: business processes described in natural language, generated as executable BPMN workflows, and improved autonomously from production data. We’re hiring the first cohort of Forward Deployed Engineers to bring it into production at enterprise customers.

You’ll own the deployment journey from first process file to a working, improving system, and hand off a functioning capability to the customer’s team. The code you write and the patterns you discover feed directly back into how ProcessOS is built. You’ll work end‑to‑end across Java services and React interfaces, collaborating closely with a talented global team to measure, improve, and scale performance and fault tolerance in real-world distributed systems.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Deploy and prove: Own the end-to-end journey from first process file to a running, measurably improving production workflow. (At 90 days: at least one workflow running with active improvement loops; at 12 months: 3–5 customers with viable deployments).
• Feed the product: Build features, agents, and skill files while working with customers, fixing bugs as you encounter them.
• Drive organizational adoption: Work across technical and business stakeholders to turn early deployments into lasting customer capabilities.
• Work at technical depth: Configure Camunda clusters, debug integration failures, and build custom agents where platform defaults fall short.
• Build the playbook: Document best practices to make future deployments faster.
• Hand off deliberately: Leave each customer team trained, independent, and able to act on improvement results.

What You Bring

• Enterprise production experience: Shipped software inside a large organization and maintained it in production, understanding governance and resilience at scale.
• Technical depth: Ability to debug integration failures, write custom agents against legacy APIs, stand up Camunda clusters from scratch, and explain generated BPMN to both engineers and business leads.
• Stakeholder communication: Effective cross-functional collaboration across engineering, architecture, and business leadership.
• Practical AI experience: Demonstrated production experience using AI to solve real problems (context management, prompt engineering, agent testing, and integration tradeoffs).
• Comfort with ambiguity: Sound judgment making capabilities without an established playbook.
• Occasional travel may be required.
• Ability and/or willingness to use our product.

What We Have to Offer

• Compensation: Competitive base salary with location-based tiers (US range: $131,100 to $211,400).
• Equity: Virtual Stock Option Plan (VSOP).
• Remote & Flexible: Work from anywhere with a home office budget, co-working space support, and flexible time off.
• In-Person Connection: Annual kickoff events, team offsites, and meetup budgets.
• Health & Wellbeing: Locally tailored healthcare, Modern Health for mental wellbeing, and a Live Well Lifestyle Spending Account.
• Financial Security: Retirement and pension plans, plus life and disability insurance.
• Professional Growth: Up to $/€/£1,000 per year for self-driven learning and certifications.
