We're all about helping brands turn ideas into impact.
Frontify’s brand platform transforms how teams organize digital assets, collaborate on projects, and create engaging campaigns. Our people empower thousands of marketers and designers — including teams at Uber, Microsoft, Volkswagen, and Telefónica — to build engaging brands.
With headquarters in St. Gallen, Switzerland, and offices in London and New York City, we share a vibrant culture built on creativity, collaboration, inclusion, and joy. And we’re on the lookout for new team members to share our vision. If you’re ready for a brand-new adventure, keep reading!
Your team
Your new team is a group of motivated, collaborative, and innovative Engineers. Working on-site, hybrid, or fully remote, they come together to create and evolve a well-loved product but always keep room for new ideas and approaches. Outside of work, they’re parents, gamers, bookworms, adrenaline junkies, and so much more.

Your mission
As a Backend Engineer working in the Developer Experience team, you’ll take on a challenging role in collaborating with product managers, stakeholders, and fellow engineers to build and optimize a dynamic, scalable, and high-impact platform.
 
Our team takes pride in creating seamless user experiences while ensuring the underlying systems are efficient, robust, and extendable. You'll contribute to architectural decisions, and drive technical excellence across the stack with emphasis on the Backend at scale.
 
You'll contribute to the evolution of our platform, ensuring efficient data structures, clear API interfaces, building and evolving developer tools and framework, supporting platform extensibility and scale third-party integrations.
 
Your work will encompass API design and implementation, ensuring high-quality code with well-defined testing strategies and having a scalability mindset. Your expertise in API design, scalability and understanding of public facing interfaces will be instrumental in enhancing our platform’s reliability and extensibility.

Your responsibilities
  • You will work with an experienced team to design, develop and implement hyperscaling solutions to third party systems, increasing the extensibility of our systems and supporting external developers through great documentation.
  • You will build and refine API interfaces and service communications, ensuring clarity, scalability, and adaptability.
  • You’ll collaborate across teams to create efficient contracts and interfaces, leveraging your generalist mindset to approach varied challenges when supporting external developers.
  • You will maintain and enhance existing solutions, proactively identifying and resolving issues.
  • You will partner closely with product management, design, and engineering toward viable product development changes from discovery to delivery.
  • You’ll coach and mentor fellow engineers through pair programming, code reviews, and knowledge sharing.


  • Your story
  • You can work remotely from anywhere in Switzerland or on-site in our St. Gallen office – or even mix it up during the week! Choose where to work from that works best for you.
  • You have a deep understanding of API design, including RESTful, GraphQL and best practices/principles for structuring efficient, secure, scalable and maintainable APIs as well as networking and web application layer protocols. 
  • You’re an expert in PHP whilst being skilled in architecting/designing, developing, and maintaining large software solutions.
  • You have experience building a product where developers are your customers - you understand their problems and needs, and know how to design solutions for those.
  • You are familiar with how to build software end to end with a firm understanding of the frontend with exposure to React.
  • You're skilled in writing unit and integration tests, with a solid grasp of error handling, logging, and observability.
  • You have experience in contract and interface definition, ensuring consistent and maintainable code.
  • You’re familiar with testing frameworks and have a deep understanding of component composition, reusability, accessibility, maintainability and performance best practices.
  • You thrive in a collaborative and growing environment, embracing feedback and continuous improvement.


  • We understand that every candidate’s experience is different. If you’re interested in this role but don’t tick all the boxes, we still encourage you to apply.
