About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the architectural direction and roadmap for the workflow/orchestration domain within the Opto WES platform.
Define standards, reference patterns, and design guardrails for workflow modeling, deployment, and runtime behavior.
Drive resolution of architectural debt, including elimination of per-customer workflow-copy anti-patterns in favor of a configurable, multi-tenant-aware model.
Evaluate and make recommendations on workflow engine strategy (e.g., licensing, total cost of ownership, and migration considerations), supporting decisions with cost-benefit analysis and proof-of-concept evidence.
Author and maintain blueprint definitions, decision memos, and ARB-ready architecture artifacts.
Provide day-to-day technical direction to the CapBPM engineering team, translating architectural intent into actionable, well-scoped work.
Review designs and implementations for adherence to standards, quality, and platform alignment before merge and release.
Manage technical flow-down and intake for the CapBPM team, reducing go-to-person dependencies through documented patterns and clear ownership.
Track delivery health (estimate accuracy, carry-over, completion, defect spillover) and escalate risks to KPI leadership.
Partner with the vendor on staffing mix, ramp, and capability gaps relative to roadmap demand.
Represent the workflow domain in Architecture Review Board (ARB) sessions and platform roadmap planning.
Coordinate workflow dependencies with product, project delivery, and DevSecOps teams across active client implementations.
Provide executive-ready reporting on workflow direction, delivery status, and key decisions.

Requirements

What you’ll need

8+ years in software engineering with deep experience designing and operating workflow/BPM or orchestration systems (e.g., Camunda, Flowable, or equivalent).
Demonstrated architecture ownership of a production platform, including standards definition and design governance.
Strong backend engineering foundation: Java / Spring Boot, REST integration, and microservice patterns.
Experience providing technical leadership to distributed or vendor-staffed engineering teams.
Proven ability to make and defend technology decisions using cost-benefit analysis, TCO modeling, and proof-of-concept work.
Excellent written communication, including architecture documentation and executive-level reporting.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in WES / WMS, warehouse automation, or industrial orchestration domains.
Familiarity with multi-tenant configuration strategies and platform consolidation initiatives.
Exposure to BPM licensing negotiation and migration planning.
Experience operating within an Agile / SAFe PI planning cadence.
