Remote job description

In the digital age, content rules.

Production and distribution have shifted from the few to the many. We have all become the media, the media has been marginalized and brands are now broadcasters.

  • Everyone has a story to tell or something to sell. A need to create and connect, post and publish, showcase and share.
  • So, say hello to Strapi! We exist to fuel the world's creativity and productivity by unleashing the power of content.
  • So we've built the next generation CMS that does exactly that. Across the full lifecycle and the entire stack.
  • It's open-source. Javascript. Headless. Community first. And free. And will stay that way. Forever.
  • At Strapi, our mission is to empower millions of people to share content everywhere.

Traditional Content Management Systems have been around for years. But, today, content needs to be displayed on a ton of platforms (mobile applications, IoT, etc.). Even the way to create a website has drastically changed: developers use modern front-end frameworks (React, Vue, Angular, etc.). For all of these reasons, a new kind of CMS appeared on the market to make content available on any platform (through an API): the Headless CMS.

That's why we created Strapi, the leading open-source Headless Content Management System. With more than 35k+ stars on GitHub, 3M+ downloads, and a worldwide community, Strapi is used by tens of thousands of companies such as ASOS, Walmart, Nasa, etc.

Why is your role important at Strapi?

After the release of Strapi Enterprise Edition in June 2020, Strapi has quickly grown its customer base. This customer base includes important accounts: Rakuten, Tesco, IBM, eBay, Mitsubishi, etc. Our revenue is booming with a solid double-digit growth month over month.
