About the role

  • Staff Engineer leading technical development across the full stack for Pantheon's collaborative web platform. Working on innovative content management systems and cloud-native infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • As a Staff Engineer on this team, you will be a technical leader and hands-on builder in equal measure.
  • You will work across the full stack — from the APIs and real-time synchronization services that power the platform's backend, to the visual editing interfaces and component systems that content teams interact with every day.
  • 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.
  • Build backend services that power collaborative editing, conflict resolution, and content delivery — operating reliably at scale across a distributed cloud infrastructure.
  • Build frontend systems that enable visual, real-time editing experiences — including page builders and publishing workflows.

Requirements

  • 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.
  • Cloud-native fluency: you are comfortable designing and operating services in GCP, AWS, Cloudflare, or Azure, with experience in containerization and modern deployment pipelines.
  • API design expertise: you have strong opinions about REST, GraphQL, and event-driven interfaces — and know when to apply each.
  • Frontend architecture chops: you understand component modeling, state management, rendering performance, and the browser platform at a level that goes well beyond framework familiarity.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.

Benefits

  • 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)
  • 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
