Senior Forward Deployed Engineer - Canada

About the role

Camunda is hiring its first cohort of Forward Deployed Engineers for ProcessOS, a new product that turns business processes described in natural language into executable BPMN workflows that improve themselves from production data. You will own the deployment journey from the first process file to a working, improving system and hand off a functioning capability to the customer's team. The role is fully remote and open to candidates in Canada.

Key responsibilities

• Deploy and prove: own the journey from first process file to production workflow, with at least one workflow running and measurable fitness gains at 90 days, and 3-5 customers with viable deployments at 12 months.
• Drive organizational adoption: work with technical and business stakeholders to turn early deployments into lasting customer capability.
• Work at depth technically: configure and run Camunda clusters locally and in the cloud, debug integration failures, build custom agents and write connector logic for legacy systems.
• Build the playbook: document deployment patterns so future implementations are faster.
• Feed the product: contribute custom agents, codify integration patterns and fix production bugs found in the field.
• Hand off deliberately: leave customers with a team that can operate independently and act on improvement results.

Required profile

• Enterprise production experience, having shipped something in a large organization and seen it operate.
• Ability to debug integrations, write custom agents, stand up a Camunda cluster and explain generated BPMN to engineers and business leads.
• Effective communication across engineering, architecture and business leadership.
• Hands-on experience using AI in production, including context management, prompt engineering and agent testing.
• Comfort making sound judgments without a playbook and documenting what you learn.
• Nice to have: customer-facing engineering or professional services experience, familiarity with regulated industries, production experience with agentic systems, and open-source contributions.

What we offer

• Salary range for Canada of C$167,000 to C$274,700, plus equity through the Virtual Stock Option Plan.
• Remote and flexible work, with a home office budget and co-working space support.
• Locally tailored healthcare, a lifestyle spending account and retirement and pension plans.
• Up to 1,000 per year for self-directed learning.
