Why this role?

This isn't your typical process engineering role.

We're looking for a Senior BPM Process Engineer who thrives at the intersection of business strategy, process optimisation, and modern engineering. You'll play a key role in shaping intelligent, event-driven workflows within a leading banking environment—leveraging tools like Camunda, IBM BAW, and Kafka to drive real business outcomes.

If you enjoy turning complex processes into scalable, automated, and data-driven solutions, this one's for you.

What you'll be doing

You'll take ownership of both strategic and hands-on delivery, including:

  • Discovering, validating, and documenting complex business processes
  • Designing future-state, optimised workflows aligned to business strategy
  • Building and modelling processes using BPMN 2.0 / DMN standards
  • Developing and deploying workflows using Camunda (7/8) and IBM BAW
  • Integrating workflows with custom UIs, REST APIs, and event-driven systems
  • Leveraging Kafka/Confluent for real-time event streaming
  • Driving AI-enabled workflow optimisation and decision automation
  • Conducting process simulations, performance testing, and continuous improvement
  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams across business, architecture, and engineering

What you bring

This role requires a strong blend of process expertise and technical capability:

Must-Have Experience

  • 5+ years' BPM experience (non-negotiable)
  • Strong experience with BPMN / DMN modelling
  • Proven delivery in complex enterprise environments (banking preferred)

Technical Skills

  • Camunda 7/8, Camunda Modeler (workflow design & deployment)
  • IBM BPM / BAW
  • Kafka / Confluent (event publishing & consumption)
  • Java (11+), Spring Boot, REST APIs, JSON
  • Git & CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps)
  • Experience with functional & performance testing
  • Strong solution design capability

Bonus Points

  • Exposure to AI-driven process optimisation
  • Understanding of data-driven decision automation
  • Experience building event-driven architectures
