Company mission
To make it easier and faster for marketing and developer teams to deliver impactful digital experiences at scale. And have fun while they’re doing it.
Role
Who you are
- We’re seeking a Senior Software Engineer with 5–7+ years of experience to join our Innovation Labs
- 5–7+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with a track record of building and shipping robust products or prototypes
- Professional experience developing with Ruby on Rails and Vue.js. Strong proficiency in both, or exceptional skill in similar technologies and demonstrable ability to learn the other quickly
- Demonstrated experience with rapid prototyping and fast iteration cycles, ideally within labs, research, or startup environments
- Exposure to AI/ML frameworks, LLMs, or vector databases is highly desirable
- Strong collaborator with the ability to thrive in both autonomous and highly interactive settings
- Exceptional problem-solving and critical thinking skills; an insatiable curiosity for emerging tech and new ways of working
- Ability to shift fluidly from abstract ideation to hands-on implementation
- Excellent communication skills, with clear, concise documentation and constructive feedback in team settings
What the job involves
- In this pivotal role, you’ll work hand-in-hand with the Chief Innovation Officer (CIO) and a tight-knit team to rapidly prototype, validate, and iterate on new ideas for the future of content management
- This team operates separately from the main product squads, running at a high velocity to unlock new possibilities for our CMS and beyond
- Frequent travel is expected for in-person Concept Workshops, where collaboration sparks new rounds of prototyping that may ultimately shape the Storyblok product ecosystem
- Design, architect, and implement high-quality prototypes and proof-of-concepts that test and demonstrate innovative features and ideas, using the best-fit technology for each challenge
- Deeply engage with Storyblok’s core tech stack—Ruby on Rails (backend) and Vue.js (frontend)—to accelerate learning and leverage existing capabilities. Equivalent in other technologies (Rust, Python, React.js) would also be applicable
- Stay at the forefront of emerging technologies—LLMs, vector databases, generative AI, or novel developer tools—proactively evaluating and applying them within the headless CMS space to bring value to customers faster
- Collaborate closely with the Chief Innovation Officer (CIO) and other team members in high-energy workshops to brainstorm, frame, and prioritize experimental projects, progressing rapidly from concept to demonstrable MVP
- Translate abstract ideas and business needs into tangible, working solutions that can be handed off for long-term productization when validated
- Participate in technical planning, code reviews, and architectural decisions, offering strategic input on experimentation processes and technical direction
- Document your process, assumptions, and learnings to support knowledge sharing and future development
- Embrace short development cycles, high autonomy, and the creative ambiguity inherent in true innovation work
- Travel regularly (approx. every 6–8 weeks) for team workshops and offsites that launch new waves of experimentation
Our take
A headless content management system (CMS) consists of a back-end that stores the content and a decoupled front-end display. This lets the content be streamed to any platform including apps, wearable devices or digital displays via an API. Compared to the other headless CMS solutions, Storyblok’s CMS provides highly customisable content blocks and visual editing tools. This gives developers the flexibility to build fast and reliable digital platforms. It is the first headless CMS to integrate such features into a modern headless architecture.
The company counts Pizza Hut, Adidas, UPC, Greggs and Decathlon amongst clients, alongside many thousands of solo developers that use their CMS. These are powering more than 74,000 projects across 130 countries.
Storyblok intends to use its new funding to expand its presence in the USA after its previous round accelerated expansion in key European markets including Germany and Ireland.
