Pantheon is the WebOps platform for websites that deliver extraordinary results. We believe in putting the magic of the internet in everyone’s hands. That’s why we’re so passionate about helping developers, IT, and marketing develop, test, and release website changes faster and more reliably so they can build and maintain websites that create value for their organizations. Our cloud native software makes it easy to securely manage a single website or thousands of websites across multiple teams in one platform.

📋 Description

• Define and drive the technical roadmap for Pantheon’s internal developer platform, including self-service tooling, CI/CD infrastructure, and developer enablement programs that reduce friction across the engineering organization. • Architect, build, and evolve core developer experience systems — including internal developer portals, standardized service templates, observability tooling, and AI-assisted development workflows. • Define and own Pantheon’s developer productivity metrics strategy — selecting and evolving frameworks (DORA, SPACE) to measure engineering effectiveness, and translating insights into clear recommendations for engineering leadership. • Partner with engineering teams to identify high-friction areas in the software delivery lifecycle and design iterative, high-impact solutions that measurably improve developer flow and satisfaction. • Lead adoption of AI-powered developer tooling across the engineering organization — evaluating tools, establishing standards, measuring impact, and driving cultural change toward AI-first workflows. • Provide technical leadership across the engineering organization — setting direction, reviewing designs, and raising the bar for quality, reliability, and developer experience. • Mentor and coach engineers at all levels, providing technical guidance and growing engineering talent across the broader organization. • Contribute to an engineering-wide culture of collaboration, continuous improvement, and developer empathy.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years of software development experience, with significant tenure building platform engineering, developer experience, or developer productivity products • 5+ years of experience designing and operating large-scale distributed systems and developer tooling • Demonstrated ability to drive measurable improvements in developer productivity and satisfaction across a large engineering organization • Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes), CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar), and infrastructure-as-code practices • Proficiency in Go, Python, TypeScript, or equivalent modern languages • Demonstrated executive presence, with a track record of translating complex technical and data concepts into clear narratives for senior engineering leadership

🏖️ 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
