We are looking for a highly experienced Camunda Administrator to own the stability, performance, security, and upgrades of our Camunda BPM platform in a production environment. This role is ideal for someone who is hands-on, technically strong, and comfortable driving platform execution end-to-endfrom installation and monitoring to incident troubleshooting and version upgradeswhile coordinating clearly with onshore teams and client stakeholders.

You will be the go-to person for Camunda platform reliability, supporting development/support teams, handling upgrades (including Camunda 8.8+), and ensuring the platform runs smoothly across Kubernetes/containerized environments with strong observability and security practices.

Key Responsibilities

1) Platform Installation, Configuration & Administration

• Install, configure, and administer the Camunda BPM platform in dev/test/prod environments
• Manage environment setup, configuration, secrets, certificates (TLS), access policies, and runtime parameters
• Ensure high availability and correct deployment practices in Kubernetes/Docker environments

2) Monitoring, Performance & Reliability

• Proactively monitor platform health, uptime, latency, and throughput
• Troubleshoot issues across platform components (runtime, workflow engine, indexing/search, integrations)
• Perform capacity planning, scaling, and performance tuning (CPU/memory, cluster sizing, storage planning)
• Drive root-cause analysis (RCA) and implement preventive fixes

3) Operational Support & Incident Management

• Provide L2/L3 support for production issues, including on-call support (as required by project)
• Handle incident triage, logs analysis, and recovery actions
• Create and maintain runbooks, SOPs, and operational documentation
• Guide developers/support teams on platform best practices, deployment hygiene, and troubleshooting steps

4) Architecture Extension & Platform Customization

• Design and extend platform architecture using admin/operations tooling and plugins where applicable
  • (Example: Cockpit/Operate extensions/plugins, dashboards, operational utilities, custom admin views)
• Support teams with platform-level integrations, authentication flows, and operational automation

5) Integration & Workflow Enablement

• Integrate Camunda Runtime Container with Spring Framework / Spring Boot
• Help automate business workflows (example: order processing) using Camunda BPM
• Support BPMN process execution needs, including process engine configuration, deployment strategies, and versioning
• Build POCs and support integrations with databases and web services

6) Upgrades & Migration (Critical)

• Plan and execute Camunda platform upgrades, with proven hands-on experience upgrading Camunda 8.8.x to 8.8+ (and higher versions)
• Perform upgrade readiness checks, rollout plans, rollback strategies, downtime planning, and post-upgrade validation
• Ensure compatibility across runtime components, Elasticsearch/indexing, and Kubernetes deployments

Must-Have Skills (Mandatory)

• Strong hands-on experience as a Camunda Administrator in production environments
• Deep knowledge of Camunda Platform components and platform operations (deployment, scaling, monitoring, troubleshooting)
• Proven experience performing Camunda upgrades (specifically 8.8 to 8.8+ / higher)
• Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) integration experience (authentication/SSO concepts and platform integration)
• Strong hands-on with Elasticsearch (health, indexing issues, performance tuning, storage planning, troubleshooting)
• Strong experience with Kubernetes, Docker, containerized deployments (Helm/manifests, config/secrets, ingress, scaling)
• Excellent communication, client-handling, and offshore execution capability (work independently, provide solutions, document clearly)

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Camunda Support / Development background (helps with faster RCA and platform guidance)
• Knowledge of RDBMS/NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, MongoDB, etc.)
• Familiarity with observability stacks (examples: Prometheus/Grafana, ELK, OpenTelemetry)
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for platform deployments (Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc.)

What a Strong Applicant Looks Like

• Youve supported Camunda in real production with measurable uptime/performance ownership
• Youve executed version upgrades confidently (with rollback plans and validation checklists)
• You can debug issues across Kubernetes + Elasticsearch + Camunda runtime without needing constant supervision
• You can explain incidents and solutions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
