Staff Software Engineer

Description:

Pantheon is looking for an experienced Platform Engineer to join our team. We’re expanding an impressive and growing platform that powers hundreds of thousands of websites, millions of containerized resources, billions of monthly page views, and development tools that professional website developers use.

Along the way, we’ve built tools to manage containers at scale and a massive multi-tenant distributed file system, contributed to open source communities (WordPress, Drupal, Fedora, Chef, systemd, cURL, Kubernetes, Terraform, Sensu, to name a few), a CI/CD pipeline, and a cloud-native container-based infrastructure orchestrated with Kubernetes. If you have experience with any of these technologies, that's great and if not, that's okay too. Our engineering team is filled with experienced engineers who are happy to help open-minded candidates learn on the job, regardless of their background.

Pantheon’s core company values are Trust, Teamwork, Passion, and Customers First. Additionally, the Pantheon engineering teams are built around a focus on collaboration, character, autonomy, and a no-blame culture. We're enthusiastic participants in several open-source communities and have real relationships with many of our most active customers. If all of this sounds interesting to you, read on!
