Full Job Description

This is a hybrid role where office attendance in Denver is expected 2 days per week (Tuesday and Thursday). A $100 monthly transportation/parking stipend is provided. About the Opportunity Contentful is looking for a Software Engineer to join our Ecosystem product line with a primary focus on Marketplace. In this role, you will help build, maintain, and grow the systems, apps, and workflows that expand what customers can do with Contentful. You will work across the Marketplace surface area and adjacent ecosystem tooling, helping us deliver high-impact apps, improve the contribution and review pipeline, and scale the ways internal and external developers build on top of Contentful. While Marketplace is the primary focus, this role should also be able to contribute across adjacent Ecosystem areas, such as Extensibility and Developer Experience, when priorities call for it. This role is ideal for an engineer who is strong in front-end product work but not limited to it: someone who is comfortable moving between React surfaces, Node.js services, APIs, developer tooling, and production operations as needed. We are looking for a product-minded full-stack engineer who enjoys strong cross-functional collaboration and taking growing ownership of software through its full lifecycle in production. We are also evolving how we build software. We increasingly use AI-assisted development workflows to accelerate delivery, reduce menial workload, and improve leverage across the software development lifecycle. We are looking for an engineer who is genuinely excited to experiment with these tools — not just adopt them passively, but bring strong engineering instincts to getting the most out of them. What to expect? Design, build, and maintain Marketplace features, apps, and supporting services that improve the experience for both app builders and app installers. Contribute to the systems and tooling that help Contentful teams and partners bring new apps and integrations to market fast
