About the job
Join Us as a Senior Full Stack Engineer!
At GraphCMS, you will play a crucial role in merging engineering prowess with product innovation to redefine how our customers utilize Hygraph. You will be responsible for launching impactful features that address genuine customer needs, enhancing our CMS core, expanding platform functionalities, and integrating AI-driven capabilities. Your initiative is key — you will not wait for detailed specifications or perfect designs; instead, you will leverage your expertise, collaborate closely with Product Managers and clients, and utilize cutting-edge AI-enhanced development tools to accelerate your work.
This position is ideal for someone who views engineering as a collaborative effort, takes the reins of their projects, and flourishes in an atmosphere where proactivity is valued over strict guidelines.
Your Responsibilities:
- Drive core CMS development: Enhance the GraphQL-native CMS utilized by enterprise teams globally, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and a seamless developer experience.
- Develop CMS extensions and integrations: Maintain and create extensions that enhance customer capabilities with Hygraph.
- Innovate with AI: Contribute to our AI roadmap by integrating intelligent features into our product.
- Enhance customer experience: Utilize monitoring data and customer insights to proactively identify and resolve issues before they escalate.
Key Duties:
- Collaborate with a cross-functional, autonomous team to deliver features and ongoing improvements, often from rough prototypes rather than finalized designs.
- Work closely with Product Managers to translate business requirements into technical solutions, and engage in customer discussions to validate your solutions.
- Utilize modern AI-assisted development tools (such as Cursor, Claude, Codex, etc.) to speed up development, or quickly adapt to new technologies.
- Proactively monitor and resolve issues based on observability data; don’t just report them.
- Contribute to architectural decisions that maintain scalability, reliability, and maintainability of our platform.
- Foster a collaborative environment by sharing knowledge and learning from your teammates.
Onboarding Timeline:
First Month: Complete onboarding that includes an overview of our product, technology stack, infrastructure, and vision. Meet colleagues across the company, become acquainted with our codebase, and start making contributions.
