Storyblok is looking to solve the problem of legacy CMS platforms and empower developers and marketers to bring ideas to market faster, by developing innovative features and ideas for the future of content management.
Requirements
- 5–7+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with a track record of building and shipping robust products or prototypes.
- Professional experience developing with Ruby on Rails and Vue.js. Strong proficiency in both, or exceptional skill in similar technologies and demonstrable ability to learn the other quickly.
- Demonstrated experience with rapid prototyping and fast iteration cycles, ideally within labs, research, or startup environments.
- Exposure to AI/ML frameworks, LLMs, or vector databases is highly desirable.
- Strong collaborator with the ability to thrive in both autonomous and highly interactive settings.
- Equivalent experience in other technologies (Rust, Python, React.js) would also be applicable.
- Exceptional problem-solving and critical thinking skills; an insatiable curiosity for emerging tech and new ways of working.
Responsibilities
- Design, architect, and implement high-quality prototypes and proof-of-concepts that test and demonstrate innovative features and ideas, using the best-fit technology for each challenge.
- Deeply engage with Storyblok’s core tech stack—Ruby on Rails (backend) and Vue.js (frontend)—to accelerate learning and leverage existing capabilities.
- Stay at the forefront of emerging technologies—LLMs, vector databases, generative AI, or novel developer tools—proactively evaluating and applying them within the headless CMS space to bring value to customers faster.
- Collaborate closely with the Chief Innovation Officer (CIO) and other team members in high-energy workshops to brainstorm, frame, and prioritize experimental projects, progressing rapidly from concept to demonstrable MVP.
- Translate abstract ideas and business needs into tangible, working solutions that can be handed off for long-term productization when validated.
- Participate in technical planning, code reviews, and architectural decisions, offering strategic input on experimentation processes and technical direction.
- Document your process, assumptions, and learnings to support knowledge sharing and future development.
Other
- Frequent travel is expected for in-person Concept Workshops, where collaboration sparks new rounds of prototyping that may ultimately shape the Storyblok product ecosystem.
- Travel regularly (approx. every 6–8 weeks) for team workshops and offsites that launch new waves of experimentation.
- Ability to thrive in a remote work environment with flexible schedules.
- Excellent communication skills, with clear, concise documentation and constructive feedback in team settings.
- Commitment to diversity and inclusion, and ability to work in a hiring environment in which all people feel they are equally respected and valued.
