Camunda is hiring a Manager, Engineering to lead the team that builds the common canvas experience for modeling BPMN and process orchestration. You will combine thoughtful people leadership with solid engineering judgment to help a diverse, remote team ship a high-quality modeling experience, collaborate closely with Product and Design, and continuously improve how teams build and operate process orchestration at scale.
What You'll Do
- Lead and grow a high-performing team responsible for the modelling canvas used to design and orchestrate processes (BPMN and related notations).
- Own delivery and quality for your area: align work to a clear roadmap, balance new feature development with UX and technical excellence, and ensure incremental, safe, and predictable shipping.
- Partner closely with Product Management and Design to shape the next-generation canvas vision, clarify requirements, make pragmatic trade-offs, and ensure solving real customer problems.
- Support operations and incident response for your services: work with your team to define on-call/escalation practices, respond to issues, and communicate clearly with stakeholders.
- Develop and enable your team members, providing regular feedback, coaching, and growth opportunities.
- Contribute to hiring and engineering culture by partnering with Talent Acquisition, designing fair, skills-based interviews, and sharing best practices with other managers.
What We're Looking For
- Ability and/or willingness to use our product.
- Experience leading software engineers as a people manager, including responsibility for performance, mentoring, and day-to-day team health.
- Proven track record delivering user-facing product features end-to-end in collaboration with Product and Design, ideally in a SaaS or cloud-based environment.
- Solid understanding of modern engineering practices (e.g., code review, automated testing, continuous delivery, observability) and how to apply them pragmatically within a team.
- Comfort with incident and escalation management: ability to help teams prioritize, respond under pressure, and communicate clearly and transparently with internal stakeholders.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills in a remote-first setting, including giving and receiving candid feedback, aligning people around goals, and keeping stakeholders informed without unnecessary meetings.
Nice to Have
- Experience with developer tools, modeling tools, design systems, or visual editors (e.g., diagramming, canvas-based UIs, BPMN/DMN tools).
- Familiarity with process orchestration / BPMN or workflow engines (Camunda or similar).
- Background working on highly interactive front-end applications (e.g., TypeScript/React or similar modern web stacks) in partnership with UX.
- Experience leading the development of user-facing authoring tools, with direct responsibility for integrating AI-driven capabilities (e.g. intelligent assistance, content generation, validation, or automation).
- Experience working in or with distributed, multi-team product organizations, where shared components (like a common canvas) are used across multiple products.
- Experience with encouraging the adoption of AI usage within their organization.
