What you'll do
- Own the journey from first process file to production workflow, with at least one workflow running and the improvement loop active at 90 days and 3–5 customers with viable deployments at 12 months
- Work across technical and business stakeholders to drive organizational adoption and turn early deployments into lasting customer capability
- Configure and run Camunda clusters locally and in cloud environments
- Debug integration failures
- Build custom agents where platform defaults don't fit
- Write connector logic that gets legacy enterprise systems talking to ProcessOS
- Document what good deployment looks like as you discover it and make the next implementation faster
- Contribute custom agents back to the product and codify integration patterns
- Fix production bugs you find in the field
- Hand off deliberately, leaving customers with a trained team that can operate independently and act on improvement results
What we're looking for
- Enterprise production experience: shipped something inside a large organization and stayed to see it operate, understanding why governance and resilience matter at scale
- Technical depth: debug an integration failure, write a custom agent against a legacy API, stand up a Camunda cluster from scratch, and explain generated BPMN to both engineers and business leads
- Stakeholder communication: work effectively across engineering, architecture, and business leadership and adapt communication without losing precision
- Practical AI experience solving real problems in production, with understanding of context management, prompt engineering, agent testing, and integration tradeoffs
- Comfort with ambiguity: make sound judgment calls without a playbook and document what you learn
- Occasional travel may be required
Nice to have
- Experience in a customer-facing engineering or professional services role
- Familiarity with regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, or insurance
- Production experience with agentic systems or AI-integrated workflows
- Contributions to a shared platform or open source project that others built on
Your team
