Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Pantheon is a company that powers over 300,000 websites globally and is focused on building the next generation of web content infrastructure. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will take ownership of significant features and platform components, collaborating closely with the team to make architectural decisions and mentor less experienced engineers.
Responsibilities
- Own significant features and platform components end-to-end — from technical design through production delivery
- Build backend services, APIs, and frontend systems that power a real-time collaborative content platform
- Contribute meaningfully to architectural decisions — your opinion matters and will be sought
- Write clean, well-tested code and help establish quality standards for the team — there is no dedicated QA on this team
- Mentor and support SE II engineers through code review, pairing, and technical guidance
- Collaborate with product and design to translate ambiguous requirements into concrete technical plans
- Integrate AI tooling concretely into your development workflow and into the product
- Help define how the team works — process, standards, and engineering culture are all being built right now
Skills
- 5–8 years of professional software engineering experience
- Genuine full-stack capability — you have shipped production systems on both backend (APIs, cloud infrastructure, data services) and frontend (component systems, browser performance, interactive UIs)
- Strong API design experience: REST, GraphQL, and webhooks — with opinions about when to use each
- Cloud-native fluency: you have designed and operated services in GCP, AWS, or Azure, not just deployed to them
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
- Experience with real-time or collaborative systems is a meaningful plus — live data sync, multiplayer state, event-driven architectures
- Frontend architecture depth: component modeling, state management, rendering performance
- You are actively and concretely building with AI — integrating it into products you own or creating tooling that makes AI more effective
Benefits
- 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)
- In-office workspace (San Francisco & Chicago)
- 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
