Camunda Developer

We're looking for a Senior Camunda Developer/Workflow Engineer to play a key role in the design, build and optimisation of workflow orchestration and business process automation solutions across a modern cloud-native technology estate.

This role will focus on delivering end-to-end process automation using Camunda, working closely with product, engineering, architecture and business stakeholders to design and implement scalable, resilient and observable workflow solutions.

You'll be joining a team delivering complex digital transformation initiatives, with a strong focus on microservices, APIs, event-driven architecture and cloud platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop and implement business workflows and orchestration solutions using Camunda
• Build and maintain BPMN workflows and DMN decision models for complex business processes
• Develop and integrate Camunda workflows with Back End services, APIs, microservices and third-party platforms
• Build external task workers/job workers/service integrations depending on the Camunda deployment model
• Collaborate with product, business analysts and engineering teams to translate business processes into scalable technical solutions
• Support the design of long-running, stateful workflows, including retries, compensation, error handling and operational resilience
• Work closely with architecture and platform teams to define best practice around workflow orchestration, integration patterns and reusable components
• Contribute to the deployment and operation of Camunda within cloud-native/containerised environments
• Ensure solutions are secure, scalable, observable and aligned to non-functional requirements
• Support CI/CD, testing and release processes for workflow-based services
• Provide input into workflow standards, governance and technical best practice

Required Experience/Skills

Must Have

• Proven hands-on experience delivering solutions with Camunda (Camunda 7 or Camunda 8)
• Strong experience with BPMN 2.0 and ideally DMN
• Strong software engineering background in Java
• Experience building applications/services with Spring Boot
• Experience integrating workflow platforms with REST APIs, microservices and distributed systems
• Strong understanding of workflow orchestration, business process automation and process state management
• Experience working in microservices-based architectures
• Experience with containerised environments such as Docker and/or Kubernetes
• Familiarity with event-driven architecture and messaging technologies (eg Kafka, RabbitMQ, JMS)
• Experience working in Agile/product delivery environments
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work across engineering, architecture and business teams

Nice to Have

• Experience with Camunda 8/Zeebe
• Experience with external task patterns/Zeebe workers
• Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure or GCP
• Experience designing or implementing decision automation using DMN
• Experience with observability/monitoring for workflow platforms
• Experience in regulated or complex domains such as financial services, insurance, public sector, utilities or telecoms
• Exposure to workflow migration from Legacy BPM/orchestration platforms (eg Pega, IBM BPM, Activiti, jBPM, MuleSoft orchestration)

What We're Looking For

• We're looking for someone who can go beyond simply "using Camunda" and genuinely understands how to design executable business processes in a scalable, maintainable way.
• The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate:
• Strong technical ownership of workflow solutions
• An understanding of when to use orchestration vs service-level logic
• Experience modelling and implementing real business processes, not just drawing process diagrams
• The ability to balance business process clarity with sound engineering and architecture principles
