ABOUT US
Contentful provides
content infrastructure for digital teams to power websites, apps, and
devices. Unlike a CMS, Contentful was built to integrate with the modern
software stack. It offers a central hub for structured content,
powerful management and delivery APIs, and a customizable web app that
enables developers and content creators to ship their products faster.
Companies like Spotify, Red Bull, Optimizely, Twilio, and Urban
Outfitters rely on Contentful to solve the complexities of content
management in the modern multi-channel world.
The demand for a new way to manage content is in the numbers: the
company is rapidly growing and has raised nearly $50M from VC firms
including General Catalyst, Benchmark, Balderton, Point Nine, and
Trinity.
We're a fun team of over 150 people from 40 nations with offices in
Berlin and San Francisco, looking for more amazing individuals to join
our team!
