We turn ideas into experiences and experiences into marketable products that provide customer value and business impact.

As a Contentful CMS Developer, you will report directly to the Technical Director and work as part of a cross-functional team to help lead the development of our headless CMS service offering.

• Build CMS add-ons and extensions to improve authoring experience.
• Work with front-end Engineers to map content types to components.
• Work with Designers to map content types to design system.
• Work with clients to understand goals to design the optimal authoring experience in CMS.
• Collaborate with our technology partners to identify the best technology integrations (e.g., translation, search & personalization).

What do you need for this role?

• 3+ years experience designing content models in Contentful (experience with other headless CMS is an asset).
• Experience with Node.js and writing npm scripts.
• Understanding of development fundamentals and the software development lifecycle.
• Understanding of architecture and software design patterns is an asset.
• Excellent writing, diagramming, and communication skills.
• Experience with lean/agile methodologies.
