Contentful (now part of Salesforce) is seeking a Software Engineer to join the Applied AI product line, with primary focus on the Marketplace platform. You will help build, maintain, and grow the systems, apps, and workflows that enable customers to extend Contentful's capabilities.
In this role, you will work across the Marketplace surface area and adjacent Applied AI tooling, delivering high-impact apps, improving the contribution and review pipeline, and scaling how internal and external developers build on top of Contentful. While Marketplace is the primary focus, you will also contribute to adjacent Applied AI areas like Extensibility and Developer Experience as priorities require.
You will be a product-minded full-stack engineer comfortable moving between React front-end surfaces, Node.js services, APIs, developer tooling, and production operations. The role emphasizes strong cross-functional collaboration and taking growing ownership of software through its full lifecycle in production.
Contentful is evolving its development practices to increasingly use AI-assisted workflows to accelerate delivery and improve leverage across the software development lifecycle. You will be expected to actively experiment with these tools—not just adopt them passively, but bring strong engineering instincts to maximizing their value.
Key responsibilities include: designing and building Marketplace features and supporting services; contributing to systems and tooling that help teams and partners bring new apps and integrations to market faster; improving contribution workflows, trust and safety checks, and operational quality; partnering closely with product, design, and engineering teams to shape solutions; productionizing internally built apps and contributions; owning software in production including debugging, observability, and reliability improvements; and using AI-assisted workflows across planning, implementation, debugging, and documentation.
This is a hybrid role with office attendance in Denver expected 2 days per week (Tuesday and Thursday).
REQUIREMENTS:
- Approximately 4–7 years of relevant software engineering experience
- Solid professional experience building and maintaining production systems
- Strong experience with TypeScript and Node.js
- Solid experience building user-facing product surfaces in React or similar front-end frameworks
- Clear strength in front-end engineering paired with real comfort contributing to backend services, APIs, and developer-facing tooling
- Experience designing and evolving APIs, integrations, and services used by other engineers, partners, or customers
- Good judgment around reliability, maintainability, security, and technical tradeoffs in a product environment
- Comfort working across the stack and across boundaries, from user experience to backend behavior to operational concerns
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, including experience working cross-functionally and asynchronously across teams and time zones
- Product mindset and empathy for developers, partners, and customers
- Practical experience using AI tools to improve engineering productivity with the ability to evaluate outputs critically and maintain a high quality bar
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience with developer platforms, SDKs, app frameworks, marketplaces, extensibility products, or integration ecosystems
- Experience with AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, Cloudflare, or related cloud infrastructure
- Experience maintaining or contributing to public or shared developer tooling
- Familiarity with AI-native product surfaces, agentic workflows, or systems that connect software to external tools and services
