Contentful is a
content management developer platform that enables web and mobile
developers to manage, integrate, and deliver digital content to any kind
of device or service that can connect to an API - be it smart cars, VR,
mobile, web, digital signage, or any new platform. We solve the
complexities of content management for tens of thousands web and mobile
developers, some independent and many working at enterprise customers
that include Jack-in-the-box, Petsmart, Specialized, and Urban
Outfitters.
We're a fun team of over 100 people from 36 nations with offices in
Berlin and San Francisco, backed by top VCs (Benchmark, Trinity,

amazing individuals to join our team!
Contentful has the mission of becoming the number one platform for
content that brings together developers who want to work with APIs to

goal, we must make sure that every user who gets to know about
Contentful can smoothly understand how to use the platform and become an
active user.
