About the Role
As a Senior Software Engineer, Backend, you will shape our next‑generation analytics product for process orchestration.
You will build reliable, high‑throughput SaaS capabilities that turn massive data flows into clear insights and action.
You will work end‑to‑end across Java services and React interfaces, collaborating with a global team to measure, improve, and scale performance and fault tolerance in distributed systems.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Collaborate with reliability experts to measure, quantify, and articulate load, throughput, and performance characteristics of our analytics platform (Optimize), and translate findings into action.
- Propose an iterative roadmap for performance and fault‑tolerance improvements based on metrics and a deep understanding of product architecture and codebase.
- Implement, validate, and roll out performance improvements in stages—profiling, tuning, and verifying impacts in production‑like conditions.
- Design and build backend APIs (Java) and frontend dashboards (React) to retrieve, aggregate, and visualize analytics data from distributed data stores.
- Create data exporters and connectors that enable third‑party BI tools to pull detailed analytics from multiple distributed instances, safely and efficiently.
- Raise the engineering bar by contributing to code quality, test automation, observability, and collaborative design reviews.
What You Bring
- 5+ years as a full‑stack Software Engineer with strong production experience in Java and React.
- Curiosity and resilience in distributed systems—eager to experiment, learn daily, and “break things on purpose” to improve robustness.
- Interest and practical intuition for building high‑throughput SaaS platforms that process large, continuous data volumes.
- Drive to design and build an enterprise‑grade analytics product—from data ingestion through aggregation to clear, insightful UIs.
- Pragmatic, autonomous problem‑solver focused on measurable outcomes and continuous improvement, with a keen eye on performance and fault tolerance.
- Willingness and ability to use Camunda products and approach reliability from a user’s perspective.
Nice‑to‑Haves
- Experience with high‑throughput, low‑latency distributed SaaS products in production.
- Hands‑on work with distributed data stores and practical trade‑offs related to the CAP theorem.
- Opensearch/Elasticsearch experience, including performance tuning.
- Exposure to modern cloud operations (e.g., Kubernetes, Operators, Helm charts), including monitoring and troubleshooting in production.
- Experience with load testing and iterative tuning to improve reliability, throughput, and overall system performance.
