[Hiring] Software Engineer II @Pantheon Systems, Inc

Role Description

Pantheon is building the next generation of web content infrastructure — a real-time, collaborative platform that redefines how teams create, publish, and manage content on the modern web.

As a Software Engineer II on this team, you will be an early engineer on a founding-stage product with real momentum behind it. You will:

• Build features end-to-end
• Contribute to architectural decisions
• Work alongside a small, senior team that moves fast and cares deeply about craft

This is not a role where you wait for tickets — it is a role where you help define what gets built and how.

You will work across the full stack — backend services, APIs, and frontend systems — building the core capabilities of a real-time collaborative content platform. You will:

• Work closely with a small team of engineers
• Collaborate with product and design partners
• Ship features that developers and content teams rely on every day

This team is early-stage by design. The product is being defined as it is built, and every engineer on the team has a meaningful voice in that process.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience
• Solid full-stack capability — you have shipped production code on both backend and frontend
• Experience with modern API design: REST, GraphQL, or webhooks
• Comfortable working in cloud-native environments (GCP, AWS, or Azure)
• Strong fundamentals: you write tests, understand tradeoffs, and think about maintainability
• Strong knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript and at least one backend language
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
• You are actively building with AI — using it in your development workflow or integrating it into the products you work on

Requirements

• Build and ship full-stack features across backend services, APIs, and frontend interfaces
• Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code with shared ownership of quality
• Contribute to technical design discussions and architectural decisions as an active participant
• Collaborate closely with product and design to translate requirements into working, well-crafted software
• Integrate AI tooling into your development workflow and into the product itself
• Participate in code review and help maintain a high engineering bar across the team
• Learn and grow quickly — this is a team that will stretch you in the best possible way

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
