Senior Platform Engineer

Hello. We're Prismic.

We are on a mission to change the way web is and will be built. This is not an easy task, therefore we need platform engineers that will be the cornerstones in our scaling journey by designing, implementing & evolving our state-of-the-art system architecture.

Our aim is to create a Website Building experience that is both enjoyable & productive for marketing & development teams by simplifying their workflows and eliminating the barriers between them.

Many call us a headless CMS or API-based CMS but we like to think beyond the technical architecture we provide. We believe our job doesn't stop at providing an API to developers or a UI to marketers who will figure out how to work with it. That's why we're investing heavily in an ecosystem of open source tools, APIs & web applications that puts the developer & marketer experiences at the very centre through intuitive workflows & seamless integrations.

Our Platform team provides the tools that enable our engineers to ship scalable applications quickly and with confidence. Our self-service layer consists of scalable internal APIs, observability & security solutions, testing libraries as well as optimised deployment pipelines that our product teams can easily consume. We take the developer experience of our engineers very seriously.

As Prismic scales, the demands for performance & quality scale with it. We are, therefore, looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to help our Platform team in its quest for building a strong foundation that our current and future product squads will rely on for years to come.

Our philosophy is simple: we hire strong engineers that are great to work with and we take a step back, enabling them to build tools that serve millions of users daily.
