Camunda

Camunda builds workflow and process automation software that powers complex operations at enterprises worldwide. Their open-source platforms—including Camunda 8 with its cloud-native Zeebe engine—use industry standards like BPMN and DMN to help engineering teams orchestrate everything from payment processing to logistics. Companies like Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, and ING rely on Camunda to automate mission-critical processes at scale.

Founded in Berlin in 2008 as a consulting firm, Camunda pivoted in 2013 to become an open-source software company and hasn't looked back. Now a 570-person fully distributed team, they've embraced remote work as central to their identity—not an afterthought. The company hires globally and operates across time zones with async-first practices. Twice a year, the whole team gathers for kickoffs (Vienna in 2025, Madrid in 2026), plus regular team offsites to maintain connection.

Camunda backs their remote commitment with strong support: home office equipment, coworking space allowances, and Modern Health for mental wellness. The compensation package includes a Virtual Stock Option Plan (VSOP), competitive salaries with transparent location-based bands, and a €1,000 annual learning budget. With over €100 million in revenue in 2024, they've built a sustainable business that invests in its people.
