Senior Product Architect

About the Opportunity

The Customer Insights & Adoption (CIA) team is hiring a Senior Product Architect, Internal Tools (f/m/d) to design and build internal products that help Contentful teams work smarter. This role serves internal product development, turning ambiguous workflow problems into useful systems that improve how Customer Experience, Sales, and Partner-facing teams operate every day.

This is a hands-on role with approximately 60% implementation and 40% architecture and planning . You will actively contribute production code while owning technical design and direction for a focused set of internal tools that support pipeline, retention, and customer experience outcomes. You’ll prototype, iterate, and operationalize internal systems that are lightweight where they should be, durable where they need to be, and designed for clear long-term ownership.

If you are excited by the idea of shipping high-leverage internal tools, bringing order to messy workflows, and translating promising prototypes into systems people actually rely on, this role offers the chance to have visible impact across the business.

Why this role matters

CIA’s internal tools work is part of how we turn customer, field, and partner insights into operational advantage. The right tools help our teams move faster, reduce manual work, improve data quality, and create a more consistent way of supporting customers and partners. This role exists to make those improvements real — not as one-off experiments, but as well-scoped internal products and patterns that deliver demonstrable value for our internal teams.

• Join a high-impact team building internal products that improve customer experience, strengthen field effectiveness, and help Contentful scale more effectively
• Shape how CIA approaches internal product development, R&D, and technical architecture — with meaningful room to influence both the systems we build and the way we build them
• Work on a wide range of interesting problems, from internal apps and integrations to structured data workflows, experimentation, and AI-assisted tooling
• Partner with deeply cross-functional stakeholders across CX, Sales, Partnerships, Product, IT, and Platform teams, with visible impact on how Contentful operates internally
