Software Engineer, Infrastructure - Self Managed Experience (SMX)

Camunda is the enterprise platform for agentic orchestration, enabling organizations to coordinate AI agents, people, and systems across complex, end-to-end business processes. Trusted by over 700 organizations worldwide, we are fully remote and global, transforming into an AI-first organisation built on our own platform.

We're hiring for Self-Managed Experience (SMX) — the team responsible for making Camunda 8 deployable in a self-service way for customers who run their own infrastructure. SMX covers two areas of work: installation artifacts (Helm chart, Docker Compose, C8Run) and reference architectures & cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure).

This role sits primarily on the installation artifacts side — building, maintaining, and releasing the artifacts that ship Camunda 8 to every self-managed customer.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Build, maintain, and release C8 distribution artifacts for self-managed customers — Helm Charts (Kubernetes), C8Run, and Docker Compose — along with their documentation.
• Improve the reliability and usability of deployment artifacts across the full customer lifecycle: installation, upgrades, and day-2 operations.
• Engage directly with internal customer-facing teams (Support, Consulting, Presales) to understand real deployment problems and shape priorities.
• Take part in the team's shared medic rotation and resolve engineering-level support cases, feeding learnings back into development.
• Contribute to shared tooling (review, deployment, and test tooling) for other Camunda teams to adopt.

What You Bring

• Strong expertise in building, operating, and maintaining Helm Charts and deploying applications on Kubernetes.
• Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and managing infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform).
• Ability to create clear technical documentation and communicate effectively across teams.
• A pragmatic and autonomous approach to programming and problem-solving.
• Thrives as a manager of one with a "you build it, you own it" mindset.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience running and operating on-prem/self-hosted software on Docker.
• Familiarity with Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or similar observability tools.
• Working knowledge of the Go programming language.
• Exposure to cloud infrastructure/IaC (Terraform, Crossplane).

What We Have to Offer

• Remote & Flexible: Work from anywhere with a home office budget, co-working space support, and flexible time off.
• In-Person Connection: Annual Kickoff, team offsites, and meetup budgets.
• Health & Wellbeing: Locally tailored healthcare, Modern Health for mental wellbeing, and 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.
