About Pantheon

Pantheon.io is the platform built for WordPress, Drupal, and Next.js. We deliver your business needs to build, host, and manage with digital speed and agility. Backed by SoftBank VF.

About the role

This is a rare chance to be at the ground floor of something genuinely new. Pantheon is building the next generation of web content infrastructure: a real-time, collaborative platform that redefines how teams create, publish, and manage content on the modern web.

What they're looking for

  • 10+ years of overall software engineering experience, with a strong track record of ownership across the full product lifecycle
  • Genuine full-stack capability — you have shipped production systems on both the backend (APIs, data services, cloud infrastructure) and frontend (interactive UIs, component systems, browser performance)
  • Experience with real-time or collaborative systems — whether content editing, multiplayer applications, event-driven architectures, or live data synchronization
  • Cloud-native fluency : you are comfortable designing and operating services in GCP, AWS, Cloudflare, or Azure, with experience in containerization and modern deployment pipelines
  • API design expertise : you have strong opinions about REST, GraphQL, and event-driven interfaces — and know when to apply each
  • Frontend architecture chops : you understand component modeling, state management, rendering performance, and the browser platform at a level that goes well beyond framework familiarity
