Senior Software Engineer, Full Stack - Identity

Responsibilities

• Design and deliver core IAM features for Camunda 8 (e.g., multi-provider SAML and/or OIDC support, SCIM-based user and group management, plugin systems for external IdPs), from initial solution design through implementation, testing, observability, and rollout across Orchestration Cluster and Hub.
• Lead medium-to-large engineering initiatives (roughly 3+ months), breaking down ambiguous problems, writing clear solution designs and project plans, coordinating with multiple teams, and driving predictable delivery.
• Integrate our platform with enterprise identity landscapes, building secure, resilient, and configurable integrations with customers’ existing identity providers and organizational models, with a strong focus on security, compliance, and ease of operation.
• Collaborate closely in a remote-first environment with engineers, product managers, designers, SRE, QA, and support to clarify requirements, make trade-offs transparent, and reach clear, timely decisions with minimal churn.
• Improve reliability and developer experience by maintaining and evolving our CI/build pipelines, strengthening observability for IAM components, and contributing to our on-call and incident management practices (including L3 support).

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience as a product software engineer, building and maintaining production software (ideally B2B or enterprise products) in a full-stack or backend-leaning role.
• Proven track record leading medium-to-large engineering projects (around 6 months in duration) from inception to delivery, writing solution designs and project plans, and driving on-time outcomes in a highly asynchronous, remote setting.
• Hands-on experience implementing identity and access management solutions — for example, integrating and customizing enterprise identity providers into applications, or building IAM services/components (such as auth services or identity providers like Keycloak, Auth0, Ory, etc.).
• Comfort with ambiguity and strong ownership mindset: you can take loosely defined problems, clarify them with stakeholders, propose pragmatic solutions, and move work forward autonomously without waiting for step-by-step guidance.
• Excellent communication skills in a remote-first environment: you tailor your explanations to your audience (engineers, product, design, management), translate business requirements into actionable engineering work, and help drive issues to clear, timely decisions with minimal back-and-forth.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with workflow automation or process orchestration software, or similar integration-heavy enterprise platforms.
• Experience with Spring Security and the Spring ecosystem, plus modern Java and JVM tooling.
• Background in clustered/distributed, eventually consistent applications, including making and explaining trade-offs between consistency, availability, and performance.
• Experience with federated IAM solutions (e.g., multi-tenant, multi-IdP, or cross-cluster identity scenarios).
• Experience working in fully remote organizations, and/or participating in incident management and L3 support for production systems.

Benefits

• 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: Locally tailored healthcare, Modern Health for global mental wellbeing, and Live Well Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA).
• Financial Security: Retirement and pension plans, life and disability insurance.
• Professional Growth: Up to $/€/£1,000 per year for self-driven learning.
