We're all about helping brands turn ideas into impact.

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.
In the Media Delivery team, we’re building a highly scalable, reliable, and blazing fast solution to deliver media. We’re building on top of established technologies (such as AWS CloudFront), and ship powerful features, like insanely fast real-time image processing.
This role is both technical (hands-on) and people-focused: you’ll be leading a team of skilled engineers across the stack (frontend, backend, devops), manage execution and deliveries in the team, and also work hands-on implementing features. You’ll be collaborating and co-owning the roadmap and the output of the team with the PM.
As the team is exposed to working with a wide range of technologies (AWS, PHP, Node.js, C++, TypeScript, React), you’ll be expected to be able to support them and make important technical decisions. With that said, it’s not expected of you to be proficient at writing code in all of these areas.

Your responsibilities

  • Lead a software development team, mentor engineers, inspiring high performance, and fostering team cohesion.
  • Hands-on development of backend-heavy products and services.
  • Collaborate effectively with product managers, designers, and cross-functional stakeholders (e.g., QA, DevOps) to align on goals and deliverables.
  • Contribute to product strategy, plan team roadmap, and drive the team toward measurable, successful outcomes.
  • Actively participate in hands-on development, working alongside engineers to design, implement, and review features.
  • Take ownership of delivering high-quality software on time, proactively managing risks and dependencies.
  • Architect scalable solutions, guide technical vision, and balance innovation with technical debt.
  • Apply expertise in Agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum or Kanban) to optimize team processes and enhance efficiency.

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’ve led software development teams for at least 2 years, mentoring engineers, inspiring high performance and fostering a cohesive team.
  • You have a proven professional experience as a Backend Engineer, and exposure working with Frontend and Infrastructure technologies.
  • You are happy to be hands-on coding up to 50% of the time, working with PHP.
  • You're an expert in architecting/designing, developing, and maintaining large software solutions.
  • You effectively partner with PMs, designers, and cross-functional stakeholders (e.g., QA, DevOps) to align on goals and deliverables.
  • You’ve contributed to product strategy, planned OKRs, and driven your team to measurable, successful outcomes.
  • You speak English fluently.

Frontify addresses the common challenge many businesses face: maintaining brand consistency and efficiency across all teams and touchpoints. In today's fast-paced digital world, customers interact with brands across numerous channels, and any inconsistency in messaging, visuals, or tone can dilute brand impact and erode trust. Many organizations struggle with scattered brand assets, outdated guidelines, and a lack of collaboration between creative, marketing, and development teams. This often leads to off-brand communications, wasted resources on recreating assets, and a slower time-to-market for campaigns and product launches. Customers need a centralized, accessible, and user-friendly solution to manage their brand effectively, ensuring that everyone, from internal employees to external agencies, is aligned and equipped to represent the brand accurately.

Frontify provides a comprehensive cloud-based brand management platform designed to solve these critical issues. Our customers benefit from a single source of truth where they can define their brand’s core with dynamic brand guidelines, centralize all digital assets in a user-friendly Digital Asset Management (DAM) system, and build robust design systems for digital efficiency. The platform also offers customizable templates, enabling teams to create on-brand marketing collateral quickly and easily, even without design expertise. By fostering creative collaboration through streamlined workflows and project spaces, Frontify empowers teams to work together seamlessly, get approvals faster, and ensure that every piece of content accurately reflects the brand. This not only boosts internal brand engagement and commitment but also helps our customers deliver powerful, consistent brand experiences that resonate with their audience and drive business growth. Global brands like Uber, Microsoft, and Lufthansa trust Frontify to keep their brand identity strong and coherent across all interactions.
