Software Engineer – Infrastructure

Camunda builds the enterprise platform for agentic orchestration, letting organisations coordinate AI agents, people and software across long, complex business processes with governance and auditability built in. Over 700 organisations use it, including nine of the ten largest US banks. The company is fully remote and global, and placed third in Flexa's 2026 ranking of the most flexible employers.

The role

Camunda treats its CI/CD infrastructure as an internal product rather than plumbing. The team's stated goal is a "golden path" that lets 150+ engineers across 20+ teams ship quickly without sacrificing quality, so product engineers can concentrate on the agentic technology rather than fighting the pipeline.

The timing is the interesting part. Camunda is heading into what it calls a quality surge, which will sharply increase testing volume and engineering throughput. The platform has to absorb that without pushing more toil onto developers, and this role sits at the centre of making that work.

One detail the listing makes explicit and worth repeating: this role carries no on-call duty.

What you would do

• Build, run and scale the high-load infrastructure platform that product teams use daily for thousands of jobs
• Make sure new product versions are reliably built and delivered to customers through the artifact storage systems
• Find and remove developer pain points, iterating toward processes that make more sense than the ones they replace
• Work as a service-oriented partner to product teams, providing platform capability, advising on practice, and helping teams adopt the tooling
• Contribute to the team's roadmap, technical decisions and longer-term vision for the platform

Requirements

• Production experience with Kubernetes, specifically — this one is stated as required rather than preferred
• Infrastructure as code using any of Terraform, Pulumi or Ansible
• Cloud provider experience with GCP, AWS or Azure
• High-scale CI systems such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins with self-hosted runners
• Competence in at least one general-purpose language: Python, Go, Java, JavaScript or Groovy
• A track record of working well in remote, asynchronous teams and across team boundaries
• Comfort with AI-first engineering approaches
• A growth mindset, described as curiosity about improving the systems and ways of working around you

Nice to have

• A backend engineering background
• Broad technical interests, what they describe as a T-shaped profile
• Enjoyment of defining and documenting technical practice across a department

Before you apply

Camunda discloses that it may use AI tools to help screen applications and during interviews. The company also warns that scammers impersonate its recruiters: genuine contact only comes from an @camunda.com address, and Camunda never requests bank details or payment during hiring.
