Company mission
To empower everyone - individuals and organizations - to express their identity and grow their business online.
Role
Who you are
- Build and maintain robust backend systems, and care deeply about developer experience as much as API design
- Have worked on SDKs, frameworks, platforms, or internal developer tooling where DX is a first-class concern
- Understand software modelling: schemas, validation, migrations, and how to evolve systems without breaking user workflows
- Think in systems: you design solutions that remain stable and extensible as complexity grows
- Have experience integrating AI into developer workflows, or are excited about GitHub bots, code generation, and automated code assistance
- Care about quality engineering practices: testing, observability, traceability, and shipping code 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 rethink fundamentals while still delivering incremental value
- Contribute across the stack (backend first) but are willing to work on UIs or tooling when it improves the end-to-end workflow
- Mentor peers through design reviews, pairing, and open knowledge sharing
Desirable
- Contributions to open-source developer tools or frameworks
- Experience building AI-driven systems that operate reliably in production environments
- Experience with large-scale content migration, schema evolution, or code transformation systems
- If you don’t tick all the boxes, no worries, we still encourage you to apply. At Prismic, we’re committed to embracing diverse profiles. We care about what you can build and how you think
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Dev Tools Squad and design, build, and ship the systems that make a website drive itself
- You will work on the technical foundations of the Autonomous Website Experience: turning intent into working systems, generating sites from ideas or URLs, migrating real-world websites safely and fast, and ensuring sites remain healthy, current, and consistent over time
- This role sits at the intersection of developer experience, AI systems, modelling, and infrastructure
- Design and build systems that transform high-level intent (a prompt, a URL, a goal) into a working, production-ready website
- Build MCP server tools that remove boilerplate and let developers focus on building experiences, not low-level CMS-specific code
- Create AI-powered workflows (including GitHub integrations) that suggest and implement code changes automatically, accelerating development and migrations
- Develop safe and observable website migration systems that can map real-world sites into Prismic structures reliably
- Evolve Prismic modelling with new field types and schema capabilities to unlock richer, more composable and future-proof website architectures
- Reimagine how developers work with content by enabling branching and Git-like workflows for custom types and content
- Ensure everything we ship is correct, traceable, and resilient as we expand the scope and autonomy of the system
- Contribute to the long-term architecture that allows the Autonomous Website Experience to grow in capability without introducing instability
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.
