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

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years of software development experience, with significant tenure building platform or infrastructure products • 5+ years of experience designing and architecting large-scale distributed systems • Proficiency with container orchestration (Kubernetes), web server technologies (NGINX, PHP, Node.js, or similar), and infrastructure-as-code practices • Demonstrated ability to own and improve a production platform serving millions of concurrent users or requests • Proficiency in Go, Python, or equivalent systems-oriented languages.
