Job description

About Pantheon

Pantheon is the WebOps platform for websites that deliver extraordinary results. We believe in putting the magic of the internet in everyone's hands. That's why we're so passionate about helping developers, IT and marketing develop, test, and release website changes faster and more reliably so they can build and maintain websites that create value for their organizations. Our cloud native software makes it easy to securely manage a single website or thousands of websites across multiple teams in one platform.

Pantheon's core company values are Trust, Teamwork, Passion, and Customers First. At Pantheon, we work hard and play harder, valuing individuality, humor, and balance. We're enthusiastic participants in several open-source communities and have real relationships with many of our most active customers. If all of this sounds interesting to you, read on!

The Role

Pantheon is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Connectivity API Transformation team. We're expanding an impressive and growing platform that powers hundreds of thousands of websites, millions of containerized resources, billions of monthly page views, and development tools that professional website developers use.

Our team owns the connective tissue of that platform: the federated GraphQL API that every Pantheon surface is built on, the network layer and discovery patterns that let our services find and reach each other, the orchestration layer that runs customer-facing automation, and the ongoing work of decomposing our legacy core into well-bounded modern services. It's a role with unusual leverage — the interfaces and pathways you design become the contract that every other engineering team at Pantheon builds against.

Pantheon's core company values are Trust, Teamwork, Passion, and Customers First. Additionally, the Pantheon engineering teams are built around a focus on collaboration, character, autonomy, and a no-blame culture. We're enthusiastic participants in several open-source communities and have real relationships with many of our most active customers.
