Contentful Technical Lead wanted to join a high-profile digital experience project for a major global brand. The opportunity This is a high-impact technical leadership role combining ownership of enterprise platform delivery, client-facing discovery and technical workshops with strong architectural influence and a balance between technical leadership and hands-on engineering. You will help shape a modern, composable platform built around Contentful, React and an AWS-based integration and service layer, working closely with architects, engineers and client stakeholders. The project's technical landscape includes Contentful, AWS infrastructure, APIs and identity/profile services A key part of the role is understanding Contentful as part of a wider technology ecosystem. You will make pragmatic technical decisions about what should be handled by Contentful out of the box, what belongs in the frontend or AWS middle layer, and how integrations with existing services should be designed. The initial phase will focus heavily on technical discovery, turning requirements, existing architecture and integration constraints into clear technical decisions and an actionable implementation backlog. ## What you’ll get to do - Lead technical discovery, facilitating client-facing workshops and translating business requirements into technical decisions. - Shape the overall implementation approach across Contentful, React, AWS services and enterprise systems. - Define clear boundaries between CMS capabilities, frontend functionality, integration/middleware services and backend business logic. - Decide where integrations should be implemented and define appropriate API and integration patterns. - Review and evolve Contentful content models, composition rules and reusable content patterns. - Shape the AWS-based integration and service layer connecting Contentful and the frontend with APIs, identity/profile services and other systems. - Turn discovery outcomes into technical scope, architecture and an actionable implementation backlog. - Lead engineers throughout delivery, providing hands-on guidance, code reviews and support with complex technical decisions. - Ensure strong engineering practices around security, performance, automated testing, CI/CD and observability. These areas align with the planned technical discovery covering Contentful, AWS infrastructure, API contracts, profile services, security, CI/CD and integrations. ## What you should have - Strong commercial experience with Contentful and headless CMS architectures. - Strong React and TypeScript experience in production-grade applications. - Good practical knowledge of AWS, particularly cloud-based services and integration layers. - Strong understanding of API design, middleware and system integration patterns. - Experience designing solutions where a headless CMS is part of a larger enterprise architecture, rather than a standalone platform. - Ability to make sound architectural decisions about what belongs in the CMS, frontend, middle layer or backend services. - Experience integrating CMS platforms with APIs, identity/profile services and other enterprise systems. - Proven experience leading technical discovery, requirements analysis and solution design. - Strong client-facing communication skills and the ability to explain technical decisions and trade-offs to both technical and business stakeholders. - Experience providing technical leadership while remaining hands-on when needed. - Fluency in English. Technical environment - Contentful - React / TypeScript - AWS-based services and integration layer - REST APIs and service integrations - Identity and profile services - Server-side rendering - CI/CD and automated testing - Performance, security, monitoring and observability You will collaborate with our UK project team, so we’ll need you to be available until 18:00 PL Bonus points if you have - Experience with Contentful Personalisation or similar personalisation capabilities. - Experience with composable or MACH-style architectures. - Experience with server-side rendered React applications. - Experience with AWS infrastructure as code and automated environment provisioning. - Relevant Contentful or AWS certifications. ## What we can offer you Alongside the opportunity to work with some of the most exciting brands around the world, we’ll also prioritise your career development and help you grow your skills.
