Camunda is hiring a Software Engineer for the Self-Managed Experience (SMX) team, responsible for making Camunda 8 deployable in a self-service way for customers running their own infrastructure. The SMX team covers installation artifacts (Helm charts, Docker Compose, C8Run) and reference architectures & cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure).
In this role, you will build, maintain, and release C8 distribution artifacts for self-managed customers, focusing primarily on installation artifacts. You'll improve the reliability and usability of deployment artifacts across the full customer lifecycle—installation, upgrades, and day-2 operations. You'll engage directly with internal customer-facing teams (Support, Consulting, Presales) to understand real deployment problems and help shape priorities. You'll participate in the team's shared medic rotation to resolve engineering-level support cases and feed learnings back into development. You'll also contribute to shared tooling (review, deployment, and test tooling) that SMX is building so other Camunda teams can adopt it.
Success in the first ~3 months means: taking on your first medic rotation slot and support tickets; improving onboarding or documentation based on your ramp-up experience; contributing to artifact fixes, CI/CD enhancements, or test automation; delivering structural improvement initiatives; building working relationships with engineering, QA, and product peers; and forming your own view of customer pain points from firsthand signal.
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, including 9 of the top 10 US banks, Camunda is transforming into an AI-first organization built on its own platform. The company is fully remote and global, named to GP Bullhound's Top 100 Next Unicorn list, 2025 Great Place to Work certified, and a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Orchestration and Automation Technologies.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Strong expertise in building, operating, and maintaining Helm Charts
- Experience deploying applications on Kubernetes

- Experience managing infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform)
- Ability to create clear technical documentation and communicate effectively across teams
- Pragmatic and autonomous approach to programming and problem-solving
- Ability and willingness to use the product with genuine curiosity about customer problems
- Manager-of-one mindset: you build it, you own it, and take pride in delivering maintainable, operable software
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)
