About the role:
As a Senior Software Engineer, Full Stack on Camunda’s Identity team, you’ll design and build the identity and access management foundation that powers Camunda 8 for some of the world’s largest enterprises. You’ll work across the stack to ship secure, reliable, and extensible IAM capabilities that integrate with complex customer environments, from banks to airlines to healthcare providers. You will implement integrations with various authentication protocols (e.g. OIDC, SAML, etc.), identity management protocols (e.g. SCIM), and other crucial integrations to ensure first-class support for a wide variety of deployment environments.
In our remote‑first, highly collaborative environment, you’ll lead substantial projects end‑to‑end, partner closely with product and design, and help a focused, kind, and ambitious team deliver software that our customers can trust for their most critical workflows.

What You’ll Be Doing:
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).
Raise the technical bar on the team by mentoring peers, reviewing designs and code, and sharing practical approaches to building distributed, secure, and integration‑heavy systems.
