Position Purpose Camunda Platform Architect is the technical leader responsible for designing, governing, and evolving the organizations process-automation ecosystem built on Camunda Platform 8/Zeebe. You will define the end-to-end architecture, set standards and best-practice guidelines, and work closely with business stakeholders, solution architects, DevOps engineers, and development teams to ensure that BPM, DMN, and CMMN solutions are reliable, scalable, secure, and aligned with enterprise goals
Responsibilities
Direct Responsibilities
1.
Architectural Blueprint
Draft and maintain the high-level Camunda architecture (engine topology, clustering, multi-tenant strategy, HA/DR versioning) that fits the companys cloud/on-premise strategy (Kubernetes, VM, or managed SaaS). 2.
Platform Selection & Roadmap
Evaluate Camunda Platform?7 vs. Platform?8/Zeebe, decide on hybrid or migration paths, and produce a multi-year roadmap with milestones, cost-benefit analysis, and risk mitigation. 3.
Design Patterns & Standards
Create reusable patterns (event driven orchestration, external task worker, job executor tuning) and enforce coding, modeling, and deployment standards (BPMN best-practices, version-control, naming conventions). 4.
Integration Architecture
Define how Camunda will interface with ERP, CRM, legacy systems, APIs, messaging (Kafka), and data stores; provide contract specifications (REST/OpenAPI, gRPC). 5.
Security & Compliance
Design authentication/authorization (Keycloak, LDAP, OAuth2/JWT), data-privacy (GDPR, PCI-DSS), audit-logging, and access-control models for process instances and decision tables. 6.
Performance & Scalability Engineering
Size clusters, configure async executor, job acquisition, history level, and database sharding; conduct load-testing, capacity planning, and set SLAs for latency and throughput. 7.
Observability & Governance
Implement monitoring (Prometheus), logging (ELK/EFK) and operational dashboards (Camunda Operate/Optimize, custom Grafana panels). Define governance processes for change-management, versioning, and release approvals. 8.
CI/CD & Infrastructure as code
Own the automation pipelines that build, test, containerize, and deploy Camunda process applications (Docker, Helm charts, Terraform). Ensure repeatable, rollback-safe releases across environments. 9.
Mentorship & Community Building
Coach developers, BAs, and other architects on Camunda best-practices; lead internal workshops, brown-bag sessions, and contribute to a Center-of-Excellence (CoE) for process automation. 10.
Technical Strategy Alignment
Collaborate with Enterprise Architecture, Cloud Architecture, and Security teams to ensure Camunda fits the broader technology stack (micro-services, event-driven, data-mesh, API-gateway strategies). 11.
Innovation & Continuous Improvement
Stay current with Camunda releases, Zeebe advancements, and emerging BPM/Orchestration trends; prototype proof-of-concepts (e.g., workflow-as-code, low-code extensions, AI-driven decision modeling). 12.
Stakeholder Communication
Translate complex technical concepts into business-friendly language for executives and product owners; produce architectural decision records (ADRs) and executive briefs. Contributing Responsibilities
Create knowledge repositories for future reference.
Maintain professional environment on floor.
Taking complete ownership of tasks and understand each requirement in detail.
Ensure deliveries are robust and high quality.
Complete assigned task on time with first time right
Be proactive and provide timely status to the team lead.
Adheres to all compliance & project related processes.

Deep understanding of BPMN?2.0, DMN?1.3, CMMN (modeling standards, best-practice patterns).
Experience in designing large-scale, mission-critical workflow platforms (micro-services, event-driven, or hybrid)
Strong grasp of distributed system concepts: clustering, load-balancing, fault tolerance, eventual consistency.
Hands-on with Docker, Kubernetes (including Helm) and cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) especially managed Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE) or Camunda Cloud SaaS.
Experience designing REST, gRPC, and message-based integrations (Kafka, NATS).
Knowledge of OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, LDAP/Active Directory, and modern security frameworks; ability to embed security into process models and APIs.
Proficient with Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/EFK, OpenTelemetry/Jaeger, and Camunda Operate/Optimize for KPI tracking.
Expertise in Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps pipelines;
Strong Java (8-21) background, Spring Boot/Spring Cloud, and familiarity with other languages (Go, Node.js) for external task workers.
Agile/Scrum experience, with ability to work in fast-paced delivery teams while maintaining architectural integrity.
Excellent communicationable to present architectural concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Influential leadership drive adoption of standards across multiple squads.
Analytical mindsetcapacity to evaluate trade-offs and make data-driven decisions.
