What is Contentstack?

Contentstack is redefining how modern digital experiences are built and managed. As the pioneer of the Agentic Experience Platform (AXP), Contentstack brings together structured content and brand governance (Content Cloud), real-time customer data, omnichannel personalization (Data Cloud) and autonomous AI orchestration (Agent OS) into one unified system.

While many organizations adopted headless CMS or standalone AI tools expecting transformation, they often found themselves managing disconnected systems and manual workflows. Contentstack helps enterprises move beyond that complexity by connecting content, data and AI in a way that makes digital experiences faster to launch, easier to manage and more adaptive in real time.

Leading brands including Steve Madden, LG Electronics, Subaru of America, Dolce & Gabbana, ASICS, Decathlon, and Caesars Entertainment rely on Contentstack to reduce operational friction and deliver personalized, scalable digital experiences with confidence. The company is known for its customer-first culture and commitment to the communities it serves through the Contentstack Cares program.

Roles & Responsibilities 

  • Work with the engineering teams to design, build, monitor and maintain the system for high availability  and scalability. 
  • Define SLIs and SLOs with the engineering teams, track them, and use error budgets to guide reliability  work and release decisions. 
  • Take part in design reviews and make architecture decisions that improve reliability, scalability, security  and operability before systems reach production. 
  • Build security into the infrastructure and delivery pipelines, including access control, secrets  management, network policies and image and dependency scanning. 
  • Work with the security team to track vulnerabilities and audit findings, and close them within agreed  SLAs. 
  • Write production-grade software, deployment frameworks, tracers, monitors and auto remediation tools,  and automate the processes. 
  • Follow an AI-first approach to operations. Use AI tools and agents for incident triage, log and alert  analysis, runbook execution, change review and documentation, and build our own where off-the-shelf  tools fall short. 
  • Manage cloud infrastructure as code (Terraform / Pulumi) and keep environments consistent, reviewable  and reproducible. 
  • Lead and participate in performance, load and stress tests; identify bottlenecks, opportunities for  optimization and capacity planning. 
  • Participate in the on-call rotation and lead incident response as needed. Write postmortems and follow  through on the fixes. 
  • Identify repetitive operational work and engineer it away. 
  • Review existing processes and recommend changes or institute new processes as necessary, including the  areas of monitoring, alerting, upgrades, and tuning, etc. 
  • Create quality project documentation of architecture designs, implementation plans, design documents,  runbooks, test plans, etc. 

Mandatory Skills 

  • Excellent programming skills in at least one language (Go, Python, Java, Node or similar), with production  code you can walk us through. Experience with Go is a plus. 
  • Experience applying SRE practices: defining SLIs and SLOs, error budgets, and using them to drive design  and prioritization decisions.
  • Experience designing and building reliable, scalable systems on Google Cloud Platform (GKE, Compute  Engine, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, VPC, IAM). Working knowledge of AWS or other clouds. 
  • Experience with infrastructure as code using Terraform or Pulumi. 
  • Experience with Container and Cloud technologies like Docker/Kubernetes. 
  • Experience with CI/CD using Argo CD, Jenkins, helm charts etc. 
  • Experience in performance diagnostics, capacity planning, performance architecture design, performance  tuning, performance monitoring. 
  • Experience with the use, maintenance and configuration of monitoring, metrics and logging infrastructure (Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, New Relic, etc.) 
  • Experience leading incident response and writing blameless postmortems, with a focus on removing the  cause rather than handling the symptom. 
  • Comfortable working with modern nosql databases and big data platforms (MongoDB, Redis, etc.) 
  • Total experience of 10+ years, with a software development background and 3+ years working with GCP,  Kubernetes and large-scale distributed systems.

What We Do

Contentstack is a composable DXP which is a digital experience platform assembled from a series of best-of-breed solutions. These solutions work together via APIs to deliver content and digital experiences to customers in a more agile and flexible way than a single, integrated, and essentially monolithic platform. It brings a microservices approach to the DXP space. Our composable DXP stands out in the market, so your digital experiences can. The Contentstack platform builds on our pioneering headless CMS roots, making complete what headless CMS alone do not. This includes a built-in Marketplace, full-stack automation, and integrated front-end hosting for full end-to-end digital experience functionality. Unlike legacy DXP solutions, we do this with a 100% open MACH architecture for maximum choice and functionality up and down the composable stack. There is no stack like Contentstack.
