Remote Headless CMS software developer jobs

What is Headless CMS?

A Headless CMS, or Content Management System, is a type of software that allows you to create, manage, and store content without being tied to a specific way of displaying it. Unlike traditional CMS platforms that combine both the content and the presentation layer (like how a website looks), a Headless CMS separates these two aspects. It stores your content in a backend system and delivers it through an API (Application Programming Interface) to any front-end application, such as websites, mobile apps, or even smart devices. This flexibility means developers can use any technology or framework they prefer to build the user interface, making it easier to create unique and responsive experiences. In the software development cycle, a Headless CMS fits in during the content creation and management phase, allowing teams to focus on building the front-end experience while the content is managed independently. Headless CMS developers specialize in setting up and customizing these systems, ensuring that content is easily accessible and can be integrated seamlessly into various applications, while also optimizing performance and user experience.
