Requirements
- •At least 4 years of experience as a backend engineer, with a strong focus on backend systems and production data stores
- •Hands-on experience with at least one of PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MSSQL, or Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, with a practical understanding of query performance, indexing, and data modeling trade-offs
- •Experience contributing to complex engineering initiatives: breaking down requirements into concrete tasks, writing clear technical designs for your piece of the work, and delivering reliably
- •Comfortable investigating slow queries, execution plans, and index usage to root-cause data-related production issues.
- •Strong communication and collaboration skills in a remote-first environment: you translate requirements into actionable technical work with Product, and give and receive clear, direct feedback in code review.
What You'll Do
- •Design, build, and maintain backend services for the data layer that stores and serves Camunda 8's process data, spanning relational databases and Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, with an eye toward correctness, performance, and scale.
- •Own the end-to-end delivery of engineering initiatives, working with Product Management and senior colleagues to break down requirements into concrete solution designs, driving projects to timely and high-quality delivery.
- •Help evolve how we process, retain, and expose process data, so customers can work with their data the way they need to.
- •Invest in making our secondary storage systems more performant and scalable as usage grows, and build tooling that makes it easier to understand, troubleshoot, and safely operate the data layer in production.
- •Participate in L3 support and on-call rotations, partnering with Support and SRE to investigate data layer production issues, and feeding what you learn back into the product.
Nice to Have
- •Experience building workflow automation or process orchestration software.
- •Experience working with both relational databases and Elasticsearch/OpenSearch.
- •Experience building or maintaining CI pipelines.
- •Understanding of database migration tooling (e.g. Liquibase, Flyway) and schema evolution in a live system.
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 (Vienna in 2025, Madrid in 2026), team offsites, and Camundi Connection Budgets, including contributing to meetups while travelling, and local gatherings with fellow Camundi.
- •Health & Wellbeing: Access locally tailored healthcare, Modern Health for global mental wellbeing, and Live Well Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA), a flexible, global benefit that puts you in control of your whole life, not just work, from staying active, to caring for family, exploring personal passions, meaningful experiences, and investing in your financial wellbeing.
