Full Job Description
How will you make an impact? As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you'll work at the intersection of engineering and product to shape how our users build with Hygraph. You'll ship features that solve real customer problems, contribute to our CMS core, extend our platform capabilities, and help bring AI-powered features to life. You won't wait for perfect specs or pixel-perfect designs. You'll use your judgment, collaborate closely with PMs and customers, and move fast using modern AI-assisted development tools. This role is for someone who sees engineering as a team sport, takes ownership without waiting for permission, and thrives in an environment where initiative matters more than instructions. What you will be working on: * Core CMS development: Evolve the GraphQL-native CMS powering enterprise teams worldwide, improving performance, reliability, and developer experience. * CMS extensions and integrations: Develop and maintain extensions that expand what customers can do with Hygraph. * AI-powered features: Contribute to our AI roadmap by building intelligent capabilities into the product. * Customer-facing improvements: Use monitoring data, customer feedback, and your product instinct to proactively identify and fix problems before they're reported. Some of your tasks and responsibilities: * Collaborate in a cross-functional, autonomous team to deliver features and continuous improvements, often working from rough prototypes or early concepts rather than polished designs. * Translate business needs into technical solutions by working closely with Product Managers. Occasionally, participate in customer conversations to validate that what you're building actually solves their problems. * Comfortable using modern AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Claude, Codex, or similar) to accelerate development, or excited to adopt them quickly. * Proactively identify issues through monitoring and observability data. Then fix them, don't just flag them. * Contribute to archit
