Sanity.io is the content operating system that replaces rigid legacy CMS’ so forward-leaning companies like PUMA, Spotify, Figma, Riot Games, and Skims can create standout digital experiences for their customers.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Content Lake DX team, you’ll be responsible for building highly scalable, performant distributed systems that provide our core content storage and querying capabilities and serve millions of requests a minute.

  • Coach teammates and provide technical mentorship to level up the whole team

  • Retrospect and influence how our team works recommending product or process improvements

  • Lead critical incidents responses and fix our most complex defects

About you:

  • Based in North America (East Coast/ET) or Europe

  • A proven track record of building and running distributed applications at scale, preferably at a product/SaaS company

  • Have a passion for cutting-edge technology, you love to know about latest developments and apply them to your work. 

  • An expert in any backend language; however, you’ll be required to write Golang and some Typescript / Node.js

  • Able to clearly and concisely communicate technical designs and thinking verbally and in writing

  • A compassionate, friendly human being that cares about and respects the people you work with

Not sure you’re exactly what we’re looking for in this role? Apply anyway!

What we can offer:

  • A highly-skilled, inspiring, and supportive team

  • Positive, flexible, and trust-based work environment that encourages long-term professional and personal growth

  • A global, multi-culturally diverse group of colleagues and customers

  • Comprehensive health plans and perks

  • A healthy work-life balance that accommodates individual and family needs

  • Competitive salary and stock options program
