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
Our mission is to empower product teams by providing scalable, maintainable, and forward-thinking solutions that support the rapid development and evolution of our platform. As we scale and mature our systems, the Backend Platform team plays a pivotal role in driving the architectural foundations and backend infrastructure that enable performance, security, and developer efficiency across the company.
We’re looking for a strong technical and people-oriented leader to guide our backend platform team. You’ll help shape the team's strategic direction, foster a high-performing engineering culture, and ensure our core platform evolves in alignment with product and business needs. This role is about bridging the gap between big-picture architecture and pragmatic implementation, while supporting engineers to grow and thrive in their roles.

Your responsibilities
  • Lead and support a team of backend engineers by fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and growth-oriented environment.
  • Understand individual motivations and strengths to guide engineers in their personal and professional development.
  • Align the team’s efforts with broader company goals by prioritizing initiatives that deliver business impact.
  • Drive and shape the platform team’s strategy, ensuring our architecture evolves to meet future product demands.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and business stakeholders to identify platform opportunities and challenges.
  • Contribute to architectural discussions and provide clear technical direction, supporting design, troubleshooting, or mentoring as needed to ensure scalability, maintainability, and performance.
  • Foster engineering best practices and continuously refine team processes through Agile methodologies (e.g., Kanban or Scrum).
  • Take ownership of cross-cutting concerns such as observability, scalability, developer experience, and platform standards.
  • Take an active role in implementation—coding, reviewing, and delivering backend solutions is a large part of this position.


  • Your Story
  • You can work remotely from anywhere in Switzerland or join us on-site in our St. Gallen office, with the flexibility to choose your best work environment.
  • You have experience with PHP or are comfortable working in a PHP-based environment.
  • You’re a strong technical leader with deep backend engineering experience and a proven ability to operate at both architectural and implementation levels.
  • You’re a hands-on engineer with a proven track record in backend development.
  • You’re a strategic thinker who can shape and evolve team direction while maintaining a high standard of execution.
  • You have a passion for mentoring and supporting people’s growth, with a focus on long-term success and sustainable delivery.
  • You’re a clear communicator and team player who understands the balance between business goals and engineering excellence.
  • You speak English fluently.


  • Why join us?
    - Thrive with the tools and support to shape your future at Frontify.
    - Be part of a product that connects brands and people with a human touch.
    - Enjoy flexibility, opportunities to grow, and exposure to innovative technologies and ideas.
    - Join a vibrant, social team—whether you love animals, yoga, or travel, we’ve got the Slack channels for you!
