Role
Who you are
- Build and maintain robust backend systems, and you care as much about the developer experience as the API design
- Have worked on SDKs, frameworks, or platforms where DX is a first-class concern
- Understand software modelling: schemas, validation, migrations, and how to evolve systems without breaking user workflows
- Have experience integrating AI into developer workflows, or being excited by the idea of GitHub bots and automated code assistance
- Care about quality engineering practices: testing, observability, and shipping code that others can extend safely
- Approach problems from the developer’s perspective: you’ve felt the pain of bad abstractions, and you design to remove friction
- Are pragmatic: you know how to re-architect fundamentals while still delivering incremental value
- Contribute across the stack, backend first, but willing to work on UIs or tooling when it makes the development workflow smoother
- Mentor peers through design reviews, pairing, and sharing knowledge openly
Desirable
- Contributions to open-source developer tools or frameworks
- Experience with AI tools that assist developers in coding
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Dev Tools team and help build the next generation of developer experience at Prismic
- Build MCP server tools that remove boilerplate and let developers focus on what they love, building websites, not low-level, CMS specific code
- Create a GitHub integration that uses AI to suggest and implement code changes automatically, speeding up workflows
- Elevate Prismic modelling with new field types to unlock richer, more composable website architectures
- Reimagine how developers work with content by enabling branching inside Prismic, giving teams a Git-like workflow for custom types and content
Our take
As increasingly more consumers pivot online, the need for high quality digital content is more important than ever. Developer talent is thin on the ground, however, and that’s throttling the speed and quality of production. Prismic’s answer? Offer a platform where developers can code customized no-code web builders, so non-developer colleagues can get on with web content development independently.
Developers can use Prismic to create recyclable website sections, called slices, which serve as a kind of menu for non-developer teams like marketing to rapidly build out high-quality, uniformly branded page content. It’s something like your familiar Wordpress web template tool, but without the rigid templates and full-page design restrictions.
Prismic’s been quietly dominating a substantial slice of the North American market over the decade since its launch. In fact, chances are you’ve been on a Prismic-designed site sometime in the past month. It’s being used by major customers from McDonalds, to Vice, to Spotify, to The New York Times. Which is testament to the quality, and most importantly the scalability, of the solution it offers. If it can continue to net these major enterprise clients, it’s set to become an enterprise CMS industry standard.
