About the role

  • 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

  • Pantheon brings together exceptional builders who take ownership, drive meaningful impact, and shape what's next for the web.
  • Every day, thousands of developers and marketers use our WebOps platform to build, iterate, and scale WordPress, Drupal, and Next.js sites that reach billions of people worldwide.
  • a real-time, collaborative platform that redefines how teams create, publish, and manage content on the modern web.
  • 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.
  • Experience building developer-facing platforms or extension systems (SDKs, plugin APIs, CLI tooling).

Requirements

  • you have strong opinions about REST, GraphQL, and event-driven interfaces - and know when to apply each.
  • 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).

Compensation

  • The Canadian base salary range for this position is 139,200 - 174,000 CAD 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
  • Paid Time Off (PTO), Paid Sick Leave (PSL) and 11 Paid Company Holidays
  • Full medical coverage (Extended health care, dental, vision)
  • Monthly allowance for wellness, reading and access to LinkedIn Learning for continued development

  • The Opportunity
