- Set up and configure Camunda Cockpit, Tasklist, and Admin interfaces for process monitoring and administration.
- Perform ongoing maintenance, patching, and upgrades of Camunda BPM and related components (e.g., database, application servers, JVM).
- Monitor system health and ensure the platform operates efficiently with minimal downtime.
- Manage the underlying databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle) for the Camunda engine, ensuring database optimization and performance.
- Deploy BPMN processes, CMMN (Case Management Model and Notation), and DMN (Decision Model and Notation) workflows in the Camunda engine.
- Collaborate with business analysts, developers, and stakeholders to troubleshoot and optimize business processes.
- Set up version control and rollback mechanisms for process deployments to manage change effectively.
- Tune the Camunda engine for high performance, ensuring optimal resource utilization for business-critical processes.
- Analyze and optimize the performance of workflows, database queries, and task execution.
- Implement caching, clustering, and load-balancing strategies to support high availability and scalability.
- Set up monitoring systems to track key performance indicators (KPIs), workflow execution times, error rates, and overall system health.
- Integrate Camunda with external monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) for real-time alerting and performance monitoring.
- Analyze and address bottlenecks in workflow execution, ensuring timely identification and resolution of issues.
- Implement security best practices for user authentication and authorization, including integration with LDAP or Active Directory for role-based access control (RBAC).
- Ensure secure communication between Camunda components (e.g., SSL/TLS encryption).
- Manage and audit system access to ensure compliance with security policies.
- Implement comprehensive backup and disaster recovery strategies to ensure minimal data loss and system downtime.
- Regularly test backup and recovery plans, ensuring the platform can be restored quickly in case of failure.
- Collaborate closely with development teams to ensure Camunda is integrated effectively within microservices, enterprise applications, and REST/SOAP APIs.
- Provide technical guidance and support to teams deploying BPMN workflows, decision tables (DMN), and other components in the Camunda ecosystem.
- Act as a key point of contact for business stakeholders, offering support and technical troubleshooting for any Camunda-related issues.
- Maintain comprehensive documentation for the Camunda platform, including setup guides, operational procedures, and troubleshooting workflows.
- Create detailed technical documentation for process deployments, security configurations, performance tuning, and issue resolution.
- Provide training and knowledge-sharing sessions for development and business teams to ensure efficient use of the Camunda platform.
- Diagnose and resolve issues in Camunda process execution, task management, and system performance.
- Investigate and resolve integration issues between Camunda and third-party systems, ensuring smooth data flows and service operations.

- In-depth knowledge of BPMN 2.0, DMN, and CMMN standards, with experience deploying and managing business processes within Camunda.
- Proficiency with Camunda REST APIs and Camunda extensions, including Spring Boot integration and embedded setups.
- Experience with administering application servers (e.g., Apache Tomcat, JBoss, WildFly) to host Camunda.
- Solid understanding of relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle) used by the Camunda engine, including database optimization and tuning.
- Familiarity with containerization technologies such as Docker and orchestration platforms like Kubernetes for deploying Camunda in cloud or hybrid environments.
- Expertise in performance optimization for the Camunda platform, including process optimization, database tuning, and JVM configuration.
- Experience with monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) to track performance and resolve bottlenecks.
- Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Bash, Python) to automate routine administration tasks such as process deployment, monitoring setup, and backups.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) to automate the deployment of BPMN models and process definitions.
- Strong knowledge of authentication, authorization, and role-based access control (RBAC) configurations within Camunda, including LDAP or Active Directory integration.
- Proficiency in securing communication within Camunda using SSL/TLS encryption.
Preferred Skills:
- Familiarity with deploying Camunda within microservices architectures, including experience with orchestrating distributed workflows across services.
- Hands-on experience integrating Camunda with DevOps tools and practices, including Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm for containerized deployments.
