The Role 

Pantheon is looking for a Software Engineer II to join our Delivery Engineering (DelEng) team. You will help build and maintain the systems, standards, and 'paved paths', our term for the frictionless, automated workflows that allow developers to ship code safely and quickly.

Our mission is to make releases reliable, safe, and repeatable by default across four core areas:

• Automated Delivery: Maintaining standardized CI/CD pipelines and reusable components.
• Deployment Safety: Implementing validation, progressive delivery patterns, and automated verification.
• Release Observability: Supporting the metrics and dashboards that make releases visible and measurable.
• Governance at Scale: Using versioned templates and compliance checks to make safe releases the default.

• Execute with Quality: Contribute to platform features with clear scope, focusing on clean implementation and maintainability.
• Build Paved Paths: Help manage our cloud resources via Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and create reusable delivery patterns.
• Support Advanced Deployments: Assist in implementing progressive delivery (e.g., canary rollouts and blue-green deployments) to make releases safer.
• Collaborate & Support: Partner with product teams to help them adopt DelEng tools and participate in the company’s on-call rotation.
• Release Observability: Support the metrics, logs, and dashboards that help teams see exactly how their code is performing in production.

• Collaborative Mindset: Comfort working in a globally distributed organization, communicating clearly in code reviews and across time zones.
• User Empathy: You view internal developers as your primary customers and take pride in removing the friction that stands between their code and production.
• Technical Curiosity: A strong willingness to learn complex distributed systems and the 'why' behind delivery standards.
• Execution Focus: The ability to take a defined technical requirement and see it through to a high-quality production release.
• Pragmatism: An appreciation for building reliable, predictable, deployment systems over 'shiny' but unstable ones.

• Demonstrated Experience: You have a track record of contributing to delivery, platform, or infrastructure work within a professional engineering team.
• Coding Proficiency: Ability to build maintainable components in Go or Python.
• CI/CD Fundamentals: Hands-on experience with GitHub Actions (bonus points for experience with reusable workflows).
• Cloud & Infrastructure: Experience working with containerization (e.g., Docker, OCI), Terraform, and Kubernetes (K8s).
• Modern Platforms: Familiarity with serverless platforms like Cloud Run or similar GCP offerings.

Testing Mindset: Understanding of how to integrate automated test coverage and validation into a deployment pipeline.
