The full posting
You will lead the ownership of the Contentful content model and space architecture, establishing the best practices our team follows.
- Lead multi-space consolidation: merge separate Contentful spaces into a clean, maintainable structure without disrupting live sites.
- Plan, oversee, and support content migrations that run safely and are repeatable.
- Design authoring templates so marketers can create and publish content independently, without engineering help.
- Act as the main technical contact with the client’s engineering, marketing, and product teams.
- Guide and support other engineers on the project through technical decisions and day-to-day collaboration.
We are looking for a Lead Software Engineer with proven experience in Contentful and client-facing technical leadership.
- Strong expertise in Contentful content modeling and space architecture, built according to best practices.
- Experience with multi-space consolidation.
- Hands-on work with content migration planning and execution.
- Ability to design authoring templates that enable self-service for non-engineers (marketers).
- Experience leading technical decisions and working directly with clients.
- Advanced English (written and spoken) for daily communication with US-based clients.
We value clear communication, ownership, and the ability to coordinate across engineering, marketing, and product stakeholders. You should be comfortable taking lead on technical strategy, translating it into practical implementation steps, and helping the team follow consistent standards.
- JavaScript/TypeScript experience for writing migration scripts and working with Contentful tooling.
- Experience with Contentful Migration CLI, Contentful Management API, and App Framework.
- Familiarity with Contentful GraphQL and Content Delivery APIs.
