AI Process Forward Deployed Engineer

About the role

Camunda is hiring its first cohort of Forward Deployed Engineers for ProcessOS, a new product that describes business processes in natural language and generates executable BPMN workflows, improved autonomously from production data. You will own the deployment journey from the first process file to a working, improving system and hand off a functioning capability to the customer's team. The work spans Java services and React interfaces, measuring and scaling performance and fault tolerance in distributed systems.

Key responsibilities

• Deploy and prove: take a process file to a running, measurably improving production workflow; at 90 days at least one workflow running with an active improvement loop, and at 12 months 3-5 customers with viable deployments.
• Build the product as you work with customers, including features, agents and skill files, and fix bugs you find.
• Drive organisational adoption across technical and business stakeholders.
• Configure Camunda clusters, debug integration failures and build custom agents where platform defaults do not fit.
• Document what good looks like so future deployments are faster.
• Hand off each customer team trained and independent.

Required profile

• Enterprise production experience: shipped something in a large organisation and saw it operate.
• Practical AI experience: using AI to solve real production problems, with context management, prompt engineering, agent testing and integration trade-offs.
• Stakeholder communication across engineering, architecture and business leadership.
• Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to document what you learn.
• Nice to have: customer-facing engineering or professional services experience, familiarity with regulated industries, production experience with agentic systems, and open-source contributions.

Required skills

• Java and React
• BPMN and Camunda
• Debugging integrations and configuring Camunda clusters
