As a fully remote, global company, we're rewriting the rules of modern business. Named GP Bullhound's 2024 Top 100 Next Unicorn list, certified as a Great Place to Work, and recognized by Flexa for true flexibility, we're growing fast and looking for top talent to join our team. An extensible, integration-ready enterprise-grade IAM solution is integral to Camunda's long-term strategy. As our next Engineering Manager for Identity, you'll lead the team that builds and delivers the Identity and Access Management (IAM) foundation that powers the entire Camunda 8 platform, both on-premise and as part of our SaaS offering. You will coach and grow your team in order to deliver a high quality product within a predictable timeframe.
As such, you will form strong partnerships with product management, design, QA, and sales, and work with your peers to not only deliver but directly influence the evolution of our platform to meet our customer's needs.
Own end-to-end delivery of reusable IAM components across the Camunda 8 stack—shaping authentication (multi‐protocol), authorization (RBAC), and federated organization management that work seamlessly for large, integration‐heavy enterprises.
Raise the bar on reliability and efficiency: keep build/release pipelines low‐effort and stable, ship security fixes within SLOs, and drive down support load, bug count, and incident rate.
Grow and coach a team of senior and developing engineers—setting clear expectations, giving actionable feedback, and creating a culture of autonomy, accountability, and continuous improvement, especially in an asynchronous, remote environment aligned to the DRI model.
Help mature our SaaS offering for large scale enterprise customers, ensuring it can easily integrate with our customer's own IAM solutions in a safe, reliable way.
