Sponsors, but it's cap-subject — you still face the weighted lottery (~61% per draw at Level IV). Good if you win; have a cap-exempt backup on your list.

About the role
- This is a rare chance to be at the ground floor of something genuinely new.
- The product is early, the architecture is being defined, and the decisions you make will shape how thousands of developers and content teams experience the web for years to come.
- You will not be maintaining legacy systems or iterating on feature #1001.
Responsibilities
- You will partner closely with product and design to shape the architecture, make build-vs-buy decisions, define engineering standards, and accelerate a small, focused team toward meaningful milestones.
- Design and own the architecture of a real-time content platform - including data models, sync protocols, API surface, and client-side state management.
- Define engineering standards for the team: API design conventions, testing strategy, performance budgets, and observability practices.
- Build frontend systems that enable visual, real-time editing experiences - including page builders and publishing workflows.
- Own the integration layer between the editing experience and the underlying platform: APIs, webhooks, and the developer-facing extension model.
- Contribute meaningfully to UX architecture - not just implementation - by collaborating with design on interaction models for novel, stateful editing flows.
- Serve as a technical partner to product and design - translating ambiguous problem spaces into concrete technical strategies and phased delivery plans.
Requirements
- After an offer is made and accepted, E-verify will be utilized to establish your identity and employment eligibility as required by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Compensation
- The US base salary range for this position in the United States is $164,160 - $205,200 USD per year.
Benefits
- 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
- Flexible time off, sick days, and 13 paid holidays
- Comprehensive medical insurance including Health, Dental and Vision
- Paid parental leave (plus fertility, adoption and other family planning benefits)
- Monthly allowance for wellness, reading and access to LinkedIn Learning for continued development
- Pantheon complies with federal and local disability laws and makes reasonable accommodations for applicants and employees with disabilities.
Company info
- Evaluate and select third-party services, libraries, and infrastructure components - with a clear framework for build vs. buy tradeoffs.
- Build backend services that power collaborative editing, conflict resolution, and content delivery - operating reliably at scale across a distributed cloud infrastructure.
- Mentor and elevate engineers on the team through code review, pairing, architecture feedback, and clear documentation of technical decisions.
- Engage with customers and partners to pressure-test architectural assumptions and ensure the platform addresses real-world integration patterns.
- 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.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience with visual or low-code editing interfaces (page builders, WYSIWYG editors, drag-and-drop component systems).
- Familiarity with CMS architectures - headless, hybrid, or traditional - and their tradeoffs in real-world deployments.
