Document workflow platform with eSignature, templates, and sales automation
PandaDoc operates a document-centric SaaS platform spanning creation, management, tracking, and eSignature across sales and operations workflows. The tech stack reveals a mature microservices architecture (gRPC, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Kubernetes) being refactored toward modern cloud patterns—adopting Temporal for workflow orchestration and migrating away from WordPress—while the hiring mix (70% engineering and product, 16 director+ roles) signals active scaling of platform infrastructure and cross-team coordination.
Notable leadership hires: Product Director, Director of Design, Design Director, Mobile Team Lead
