Company mission
To enable teams of all sizes to drag and drop to create, test, and optimise lightning-fast digital experiences.
Role
Who you are
- 6+ years of experience in full-stack web development with a proven track record of shipping complex, production-grade features independently
- Deep expertise in React and TypeScript/Node.js, with strong instincts for performance, architectural patterns, and the rendering challenges specific to visual editors and component-driven systems
- Strong API and backend fluency, including experience designing and building scalable REST or GraphQL APIs, and a genuine interest in the platform and infrastructure layer, not just the UI
- Curiosity about AI and agentic systems. You are excited about building products where AI plays an active role in content workflows, and you want to help shape what that looks like in practice
- Strong product intuition. You care as much about why you are building something as how, and you are comfortable making product micro-decisions and navigating ambiguity without waiting for perfect requirements
- A customer-first mindset. You are comfortable speaking directly with enterprise customers, asking the right questions to uncover root problems, and owning the resolution end-to-end
- Cloud fluency. Experience architecting scalable systems on AWS or Google Cloud
- High agency. You do not wait for a ticket to be perfectly defined; you seek out the problem, define the solution, and deliver value iteratively
What the job involves
- Builder.io's Publish engineering team builds the platform that empowers marketing and content teams to launch pages and campaigns using production-grade components, without engineering bottlenecks
- This is a full-stack platform engineering team
- You will work across the APIs, SDKs, and plugins that power Publish, as well as the visual layer that sits on top of it
- The platform must integrate reliably into diverse customer codebases and tech stacks, making backend fluency and API design just as important as frontend craft
- We are moving fast toward agentic Publish workflows, where AI can autonomously create, manage, and ship content experiences, and this team will be at the center of building that future
- If you are excited about building scalable platform infrastructure that sits at the intersection of developer tooling, content management, and AI-driven automation, this is the team for you
- Design and build the APIs, and SDKs that power Publish, ensuring they are scalable, well-documented, and reliable for the engineering teams that integrate them into their own codebases
- Contribute to the agentic future of Publish, building the backend infrastructure and APIs that will power AI-driven content creation, management, and publishing workflows
- Act as a technical bridge between the platform and the customer, translating complex enterprise requirements into scalable solutions and shortening the feedback loop between user pain and feature release
- Navigate the complexity of a visual CMS at scale. You are not just shipping features; you are building a platform that must render reliably and integrate seamlessly across wildly diverse customer tech stacks, hosting environments, and design systems
- Shape the technical direction of the Publish platform, leading through code reviews, pair programming, and taking proactive ownership of technical debt and quality issues. You will help raise the technical bar through design docs, architectural decisions, and giving substantive feedback on others' designs
- Drive drama-free launches, anticipating edge cases, surfacing risks early, scoping projects to the right balance of effort and value, and delivering work that stands up to scrutiny
Our take
All businesses, especially within commerce, rely on the constant evolution of marketing, content and visuals. Builder.io is a no-code platform for digital storefronts. The company is on a mission to make customers' lives easier by doing all of the coding work for them and providing an intuitive platform to design and publish content.
The key message from Builder.io is that anyone can be involved in the creation process, and those not equipped with all the skills shouldn’t have to miss out because of the complexities that go on behind the scenes. The company is home to a team of “Builders” who support the ongoing development of the Builder.io Platform, one that has drag and drop functionality and is easily integrated with customer software like Shopify.
Having received $20 million in funding in 2024, bringing their total to over $40 million, the company has created a really well-established platform and has managed to acquire a strong client base. It’ll be interesting to see how the company scales with new features and ventures, such as its AI agent for product, design and code - Fusion 1.0 - released in late 2025.
