- Strong collaboration skills with the ability to guide the adoption of delivery standards, paved paths, and quality guardrails

What the job involves
- Pantheon is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Delivery Engineering (DelEng) team. As a senior member of the team, you will design, build, and evolve the systems, standards, and paved paths that power Pantheon’s end-to-end delivery workflow across the company
- Our work is organized around four focus areas that guide everything we build:
- Automated, consistent, and governed delivery
- Standardized CI/CD pipelines, reusable components, and paved paths that remove friction and support consistent releases
- Deployment safety and quality assurance
- Built-in validation, progressive delivery patterns, automated verification, and fast rollback paths that increase confidence in every release
- Scalable release observability and analytics
- Metrics, tagging, logs, and dashboards that make every release visible, traceable, and measurable
- Governance and compliance at scale
- Versioned templates, required approvals, artifact provenance, and compliance checks that make safe releases the default
- As a senior engineer, you will:
- Design scalable delivery and deployment patterns using modern GCP offerings
- Define and improve standardized delivery workflows adopted across product and platform teams
- Solve challenges in Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), secrets management, artifact registries, service identity, and secure delivery
- Lead POCs for advanced delivery techniques like blue-green, canary, and progressive rollouts
- Improve ephemeral environment workflows for testing and pre-production
- Identify friction in build and deploy workflows and design solutions that scale across engineering
- Partner with teams to elevate delivery practices and ensure consistent adoption of paved paths
- Participate in the on-call rotation to help ensure the reliability of the delivery platform
- Our work improves the developer experience, increases release frequency, reduces failure rates, and aligns Pantheon around clear standards that support safe and confident delivery at scale
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 organizations.
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 personalization and analytics. These efforts have reinforced Pantheon's position as a leader in the WebOps and hosting space.
