Company mission
To make the web a first-class platform that delivers results, one that empowers marketing and development teams to take control of their websites.
Role
Who you are
- 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience
- Solid full-stack capability — you have shipped production code on both backend and frontend, and you are willing to stretch into whichever side a problem requires
- Experience with modern API design: REST, GraphQL, or webhooks
- Comfortable working in cloud-native environments (GCP, AWS, or Azure)
- Strong fundamentals: you write tests, understand tradeoffs, and think about maintainability
- Familiarity with JavaScript/TypeScript and at least one backend language
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
- You are actively building with AI — using it in your development workflow or integrating it into the products you work on
What the job involves
- Pantheon is building the next generation of web content infrastructure — a real-time, collaborative platform that redefines how teams create, publish, and manage content on the modern web
- Content management has been largely unchanged for two decades
- We are changing that
- As a Software Engineer II on this team, you will be an early engineer on a founding-stage product with real momentum behind it
- You will build features end-to-end, contribute to architectural decisions, and work alongside a small, senior team that moves fast and cares deeply about craft
- This is not a role where you wait for tickets — it is a role where you help define what gets built and how
- You will work across the full stack — backend services, APIs, and frontend systems — building the core capabilities of a real-time collaborative content platform
- You will work closely with a small team of engineers, as well as product and design partners, to ship features that developers and content teams rely on every day
- This team is early-stage by design
- The product is being defined as it is built, and every engineer on the team has a meaningful voice in that process
- If you are energized by that kind of environment, this is the right place
- Build and ship full-stack features across backend services, APIs, and frontend interfaces
- Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code with shared ownership of quality
- Contribute to technical design discussions and architectural decisions as an active participant, not just an implementer
- Collaborate closely with product and design to translate requirements into working, well-crafted software
- Integrate AI tooling into your development workflow and into the product itself
- Participate in code review and help maintain a high engineering bar across the team
- Learn and grow quickly — this is a team that will stretch you in the best possible way
Our take
In today's digital landscape, website hosting is a critical component for businesses, and the demand for fast, reliable, and scalable hosting platforms is higher than ever. The competition is fierce, with major players like GoDaddy, Ionos, AWS, and WP Engine dominating the space.
One standout in this crowded market is Pantheon, a leading WebOps platform designed to deliver high-performance hosting for content-driven websites. Pantheon's unique value lies in its ability to provide seamless collaboration between developers and marketers while ensuring fast, reliable website performance. It's a platform that goes beyond traditional hosting by offering powerful tools for managing websites and scaling them as needed - making it a go-to choice for many organisations.
Pantheon has continuously innovated to stay ahead of the competition, with significant investments driving its growth. Initially focused on hosting solutions for WordPress and Drupal websites, it now offers content management as a service. This expansion was bolstered by significant funding, fueling further product development and the introduction of new features like personalisation and analytics. These efforts have reinforced Pantheon's position as a leader in the WebOps and hosting space.
