[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer, Quality @Camunda

Role Description

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Quality to build the agentic layer of how Camunda tests its software. We treat quality as an engineering discipline. We build test infrastructure the way we build our product — real design decisions, real trade-offs, real ownership. What's changing is how that work gets done: we're moving from hand-written test suites toward agents that design, generate, maintain and triage tests across the lifecycle. We need someone to build both the agents and the infrastructure that makes them dependable, and to help shape our Quality AI strategy.

You'll support product teams that ship features without dedicated QA. Your job is not to become their testing safety net. It's to build the tooling and practices that let builders own quality themselves — and to stay close enough to real features to know where that tooling breaks.

Camunda also ships AI capabilities in its own product, so the evaluation practice you build for agent-driven testing feeds directly into how we test non-deterministic features.

You'll join colleagues who live our FAITH values: Focus, Ambition, Integrity, Talent and Humor.

Curious about the kind of challenges you'll work on at Camunda? Watch this quick 30-minute talk from our engineers to learn more about the new Camunda Exporter and how we’re solving complex problems at scale.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Build and operate agents across the testing lifecycle — test design, generation, maintenance, execution and failure triage.
• Own the infrastructure that makes agent-driven testing reliable: environments, test data, tool interfaces, guardrails, runtime and cost control.
• Define how we measure agent output quality, so teams can trust results instead of hand-reviewing them.
• Apply that evaluation practice to testing Camunda 8's own AI capabilities.
• Work hands-on with new features as teams build them, enough to keep the tooling honest.
• Raise the quality capability of teams — patterns, tooling, enablement. Success is what builders can do themselves, not the number of tests you wrote.

Qualifications

• Ability and/or willingness to use our product.
• 5+ years as a software engineer. You write production code daily and would be credible on a product team; quality is your domain, not a step down from development.
• Production experience building test infrastructure, developer tooling or internal platforms that other engineers depend on — designed and owned, not just extended.
• Hands-on work with LLMs or agent frameworks: prompt and context design, tool use, handling non-determinism, and evaluating output quality. This is the differentiator for the role.
• Comfort with distributed systems and CI at scale. Camunda 8 is a process orchestration platform; testing it means reasoning about concurrency, state and timing.
• The ability to drive adoption in teams that don't report to you. You've built something another team chose to use, and you know what to do when the first version isn't picked up.

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience evaluating or benchmarking LLM systems.
• Open-source contribution experience.
• Java, TypeScript or Python; Kubernetes and Helm.
• Background in developer tooling or platform engineering.

Benefits

• Competitive, fair, and transparent compensation.
• Equity (where applicable) through our Virtual Stock Option Plan (VSOP).
• Remote & Flexible: Work from anywhere with the setup that suits you, home office budget, co-working space support, and flexible time off to recharge when you need it.
• In Person Connection: Annual Kickoff, team offsites, and Camundi Connection Budgets.
• Health & Wellbeing: Access locally tailored healthcare, Modern Health for global mental wellbeing, and our Live Well Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA).
• Financial Security: Retirement and pension plans (often with company contributions), plus life and disability insurance where relevant.
• Professional Growth: Up to $/€/£1,000 per year for self-driven learning: courses, certifications, books, you decide!
