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 Software Engineer II to join our Delivery Engineering (DelEng) team. You will help build and maintain the systems, standards, and "paved paths", our term for the frictionless, automated workflows that allow developers to ship code safely and quickly.

Our mission is to make releases reliable, safe, and repeatable by default across four core areas:

• Automated Delivery: Maintaining standardized CI/CD pipelines and reusable components.
• Deployment Safety: Implementing validation, progressive delivery patterns, and automated verification.
• Release Observability: Supporting the metrics and dashboards that make releases visible and measurable.
• Governance at Scale: Using versioned templates and compliance checks to make safe releases the default.

What You Will Do

• Execute with Quality: Contribute to platform features with clear scope, focusing on clean implementation and maintainability.
• Build Paved Paths: Help manage our cloud resources via Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and create reusable delivery patterns.
• Support Advanced Deployments: Assist in implementing progressive delivery (e.g., canary rollouts and blue-green deployments) to make releases safer.
• Collaborate & Support: Partner with product teams to help them adopt DelEng tools and participate in the company’s on-call rotation.
• Release Observability: Support the metrics, logs, and dashboards that help teams see exactly how their code is performing in production.

What You Need to Succeed

• Collaborative Mindset: Comfort working in a globally distributed organization, communicating clearly in code reviews and across time zones.
• User Empathy: You view internal developers as your primary customers and take pride in removing the friction that stands between their code and production.
• Technical Curiosity: A strong willingness to learn complex distributed systems and the "why" behind delivery standards.
• Execution Focus: The ability to take a defined technical requirement and see it through to a high-quality production release.
• Pragmatism: An appreciation for building reliable, predictable, deployment systems over "shiny" but unstable ones.

What You Bring to the Table

• Demonstrated Experience: You have a track record of contributing to delivery, platform, or infrastructure work within a professional engineering team.
• Coding Proficiency: Ability to build maintainable components in Go or Python.
• CI/CD Fundamentals: Hands-on experience with GitHub Actions (bonus points for experience with reusable workflows).
• Cloud & Infrastructure: Experience working with containerization (e.g., Docker, OCI), Terraform, and Kubernetes (K8s).
• Modern Platforms: Familiarity with serverless platforms like Cloud Run or similar GCP offerings.

Testing Mindset: Understanding of how to integrate automated test coverage and validation into a deployment pipeline.

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
• PTO, 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
