Named GP Bullhound’s Top 100 Next Unicorn list, 2025 Great Place to Work certified. Visionary in 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Business Orchestration and Automation Technologies. ranked 3rd in Flexa's 2026 Most Flexible Companies, We’re growing fast and looking for top talent to join our team. If you want meaningful work, visible impact and put something genuinely rare on your CV, keep reading.
Backend engineering rarely gets this consequential. As a Senior Software Engineer on Camunda's Core / API & Process Automation team, you'll work on the beating heart of Camunda 8 — the event-sourced, distributed workflow engine that executes business-critical processes for thousands of customers and, through them, millions of people worldwide. Because you sit at the core, one well-made improvement propagates outward through every integration and product built on top of it: a small change here is felt everywhere.
Few systems demand this. You'll squeeze the last drops of performance out of the hot paths. You'll design maintainability and versioning strategies for an engine that must faithfully replay every event it has ever written — forever. You'll reason about the concurrency between the engine advancing a process and a user mutating that same process in the same instant. And you'll hold an unforgiving bar: data must never be corrupted, and a process must never get stuck — because when it does, customers lose money. That single constraint cascades into some of the hardest technical and product challenges you'll find anywhere.
You'll also help define what comes next. Enabling AI agents to integrate with and drive the engine is cutting-edge work, and the features we ship create real aha moments and stretch what the industry thinks automation can do. You'll do it alongside a world-spanning team of highly skilled, highly motivated engineers who share one goal: make Camunda the best workflow engine in the world. As a senior here you set the technical bar — you take ambiguous problems and give them shape, lead the hard discussions, and make the people around you better.

Camunda is a 100% remote company that hires across more than 80 countries, so there is no office requirement or relocation. Roles are open to candidates in locations where Camunda can legally employ them, and you work from home or a co-working space rather than a headquarters.
Salary ranges are location-based and split into Standard markets and Major markets (global tech hubs) to reflect local competition. Your Annual Total Target Cash combines a base salary with a variable target of up to 100% where the role applies, so pay reflects both where you live and how the role is structured.
Camunda provides flexible (unlimited) time off, 20 weeks of paid parental leave in your first year of parenthood, and locally tailored healthcare by country. Wellbeing support includes a Headspace subscription, Modern Health access, and an annual fitness reimbursement. Remote-work perks include a home office budget and co-working space support of up to 500 euros per month.
Camunda hires against shared values rather than culture fit, using its FAITH framework: Focus, Ambition, Integrity, Talent, and Humor. It looks for people who are comfortable in a fully distributed, fast-moving environment and want to help enterprises orchestrate AI agents, people, and systems across mission-critical processes.
Beyond an annual learning budget of up to 1,000 euros for self-directed courses, certifications, and books, Camunda supports development through the Camunda Academy, coaching and mentoring, personalized growth plans, and on-demand access to learning platforms.
