About Pantheon

Pantheon WebOps Platform powers the open web, running more than 300,000 sites in the cloud for customers including Google, Princeton, Salesloft and Doctors Without Borders. Every day, thousands of developers and marketers create, iterate, and scale WordPress and Drupal sites to reach billions of people globally. Pantheon’s multitenant, container-based platform enables organizations to manage all of their websites from a single dashboard. Organizations including Clorox and the United Nations drive results through accelerated development and real-time publishing using Pantheon’s collaborative workflows.

The Role

Pantheon is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Delivery Engineering (DelEng) team. As a senior member of the team, you will design, build, and evolve the systems, standards, and paved paths that power Pantheon’s end-to-end delivery workflow across the company.

Our work is organized around four focus areas that guide everything we build:

1. Automated, consistent, and governed delivery Standardized CI/CD pipelines, reusable components, and paved paths that remove friction and support consistent releases.
2. Deployment safety and quality assurance Built-in validation, progressive delivery patterns, automated verification, and fast rollback paths that increase confidence in every release.
3. Scalable release observability and analytics Metrics, tagging, logs, and dashboards that make every release visible, traceable, and measurable.
4. Governance and compliance at scale Versioned templates, required approvals, artifact provenance, and compliance checks that make safe releases the default.

As a senior engineer, you will:

• Design scalable delivery and deployment patterns using modern GCP offerings
• Define and improve standardized delivery workflows adopted across product and platform teams
• Solve challenges in Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), secrets management, artifact registries, service identity, and secure delivery
• Lead POCs for advanced delivery techniques like blue-green, canary, and progressive rollouts
• Improve episodic environment workflows for testing and pre-production
• Identify friction in build and deploy workflows and design solutions that scale across engineering
• Partner with teams to elevate delivery practices and ensure consistent adoption of paved paths
• Participate in the on-call rotation to help ensure the reliability of the delivery platform

Our work improves the developer experience, increases release frequency, reduces failure rates, and aligns Pantheon around clear standards that support safe and confident delivery at scale.

What you Need to Succeed

• Clear, confident communication and the ability to influence engineering teams toward consistent delivery practices
• Collaborative approach to working with product teams, platform teams, SRE, and architects
• Strong ownership mindset with the ability to take work from concept to adoption
• Empathy for developers and understanding of how delivery workflows impact their day-to-day experience
• Ability to navigate ambiguity, break down complex problems, and make pragmatic technical tradeoffs
• Ability to work effectively in a globally distributed engineering organization and build strong relationships across time zones
• Comfort working in large distributed systems and helping others understand them

What you Bring to the Table

• Experience applying AI/ML techniques to improve delivery workflows, such as intelligent test selection, failure pattern detection, or release verification.
• Experience leading or significantly contributing to delivery, platform, or infrastructure initiatives across multiple teams
• Strong collaboration skills with the ability to guide the adoption of delivery standards, paved paths, and quality guardrails
• Interest in software supply chain security concepts and a willingness to learn as needed
• Ability to build scalable, maintainable components. Experience with Go is helpful, and strong proficiency in Python, or similar languages is equally valuable.
• Experience with GitHub Actions ecosystem, including reusable workflows and self-hosted runners
• Familiarity with Terraform-based infrastructure patterns
• Deep experience with containers, Kubernetes, and serverless platforms like Cloud Run
• Ability to design reliable CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows with strong validation and test coverage

What We Offer

We have all the usual perks and benefits but what we can really offer you is a fantastic work environment powered by an amazing team.

• Industry competitive compensation and equity plan
• Paid Time Off (PTO), Paid Sick Leave (PSL) and 11 Paid Company Holidays
• Full medical coverage (Extended health care, dental, vision)
• Top-of-line equipment
• In-office workspace (Vancouver, BC Canada)
• Monthly allowance for wellness, reading and access to LinkedIn Learning for continued development
• Events and activities both team-based and company wide that inspire, educate and cultivate
