Senior Software Engineer, Engineering Operations - Camunda

Camunda is the enterprise platform for agentic orchestration, enabling organizations to coordinate AI agents, people, and systems across complex, end-to-end business processes. Fully remote and global, we are transforming into an AI-first organisation, built on our own platform.

Camunda is going through an AI-First transformation, and we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Engineering Operations Team. As part of this high-impact platform team, you will play a key role in fostering engineering excellence by creating, implementing, and maintaining scalable core processes to enhance development efficiency, reliability, and quality within the Camunda 8 code bases and engineering-wide organization processes.

What you'll be doing

• AI-Augmented Engineering: Lead the shift toward an automated engineering lifecycle by implementing and orchestrating unified processes in the Camunda 8 repos — including 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, creating a positive impact across 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 by partnering with software engineers, engineering leaders, and cross-team stakeholders.
