Trusted by over 700 organizations worldwide , including 9 of top 10 US banks, Camunda helps enterprises boost operational efficiency, accelerate time-to-value, and deliver better customer experiences.

Fully remote and global, we are in the middle of something bigger: transforming into an AI-first organisation, built on our own platform . We use Agentic AI to automate, orchestrate intelligent processes, and elevate human contribution across every team.

Named GP Bullhound’s Top 100 Next Unicorn list, 2025 Great Place to Work certified. Visionary in 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Orchestration and Automation Technologies. ranked

3rd in Flexa's 2026 Most Flexible Companies , We’re growing fast and looking for top talent to join our team. If you want meaningful work, visible impact and put something genuinely rare on your CV, keep reading.

About The Role

Camunda is building out a new sub-division, Camunda Experience, that owns the entire experience layer sitting on top of our orchestration cluster API: the Camunda Hub (managing and sharing process assets, collaborative modeling), our Clients and SDKs, the AI-native builder experience and AI skills, the frontend web apps used to operate and manage human tasks, and our integrations with business applications. This is the fastest-moving part of our product, and it is where Camunda's bet on an AI-first way of working is most visible. To deliver it, we are introducing a new role: the Builder, one holistic role that combines what used to be split across Product Management, Design, and Engineering, and uses an AI-first way of working to discover user problems, define solutions, build, ship, and maintain them. Builders work in small pods (~3 builders per pod), shipping in days rather than months. As Director, Product Building you will lead this ~25-person sub-division (including 3 Pod Leads / Managers), establish the Builder operating model in practice, and deliver the first generation of products under it - starting with a revised Camunda Hub and the AI-native builder experience. You will set the strategy and organizational design for the domain, partner closely with Strategy PMs on long-term direction, and own AI-first production line engineering across all pods so the sub-division operates as a coherent, high-throughput, AI-native production line.

What You Will Do

  • Lead the Camunda Experience sub-division end-to-end: ~25 people across multiple pods (~3 builders per pod), with 3 Pod Leads reporting into you, and own the business outcomes of the entire experience layer (Hub, Clients/SDKs, AI-native builder experience, AI skills, Orchestration Cluster web apps, business application integrations).
  • Establish and run the new Builder operating model: define the governance, rituals, quality bar, and forums that make Builder pods work in practice - one role holding product, design, and engineering judgment together, validating with customers, and shipping in days rather than months.
  • Ship the first wave of Builder outcomes: a revised Camunda Hub for managing and sharing process assets and collaborative modeling, and the AI-native builder experience, with clear customer-visible value released iteratively.
  • Design the organizational architecture of the domain: pod boundaries, scopes, interfaces, and ownership seams across Hub, Clients/SDKs, AI-native builder, human-task surfaces, and business app integrations - so problem discovery, solution definition, implementation, and support scale cleanly.
  • Shape long-term strategy in partnership with Strategy PMs: turn directional bets (e.g., "best builder experience for agentic orchestration") into a concrete domain thesis, sequencing, and investment logic, and feed evidence from the pods back into company-level strategy.
  • Own AI-first production line engineering for the domain: enforce the AI-first repo blueprint (structurally invariant codebases, layering, interfaces), invest in reusable agent context and skills, shared CI/CD and platform capabilities, and a clear governance model for standards vs. local flexibility - so every pod can operate as a high-throughput AI-first production line.
  • Create the conditions for sustainable maintenance and support at scale: clarify ownership boundaries, balance feature work against product health, and protect long-term reliability and credibility as adoption of Hub, SDKs, and AI-native surfaces grows.

Must Haves

What You Will Bring to the Role

  • 10+ years in product building leadership, including managing managers and owning business outcomes for a complex, user-facing product domain.
  • Proven track record designing the operating model of a domain, not just running one (pod topology, interfaces, governance, quality bar).
  • You have led a team that ships end-to-end (from discovery to production), using AI as the execution model, not just as a personal productivity tool.
  • Deep, hands-on fluency with AI-first product building - shipped real customer-facing software with AI as the execution layer.
  • Strong design taste and craft bar that you personally hold and raise across the teams you lead.
  • Close to the customer: regularly in customer conversations yourself, decisions grounded in direct user evidence.
  • Shapes strategy with Strategy/Product leaders, not just executes it.
  • Thrives in a fully remote, global, async, high-ownership environment.

Nice To Haves

  • Experience in a Product Builder / Product Engineer / Design Engineer style model (still emerging in the market — plus, not expectation).
  • Background in developer tools, enterprise B2B platforms, or low-code / pro-code builder products.
  • Familiarity with BPMN, process orchestration, or Camunda 8.
  • Led a major operating-model or AI-native transformation without losing delivery momentum.
