Remote, Deutschland Storyblok Vollzeit
JOB SUMMARY

We're seeking a Senior Software Engineer with 5–7+ years of experience to join our Innovation Labs. In this pivotal role, you'll work hand-in-hand with the Chief Innovation Officer (CIO) and a tight-knit team to rapidly prototype, validate, and iterate on new ideas for the future of content management. This team operates separately from the main product squads, running at a high velocity to unlock new possibilities for our CMS and beyond. Frequent travel is expected for in-person Concept Workshops, where collaboration sparks new rounds of prototyping that may ultimately shape the Storyblok product ecosystem.

 ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS
  • 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 (frontend)—to accelerate learning and leverage existing capabilities. Equivalent in other technologies (Rust, Python, ) would also be applicable.
  • 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.
  • Embrace short development cycles, high autonomy, and the creative ambiguity inherent in true innovation work.
  • Travel regularly (approx. every 6–8 weeks) for team workshops and offsites that launch new waves of experimentation.
EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE
  • 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 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.
 
PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES
  • Exceptional problem-solving and critical thinking skills; an insatiable curiosity for emerging tech and new ways of working.
  • Ability to shift fluidly from abstract ideation to hands-on implementation.
  • Excellent communication skills, with clear, concise documentation and constructive feedback in team settings.
