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. 

Some of the things you’ll be focusing on are intelligent caching, lightning-fast query performance, and supercharging the developer experience we offer through contributing to our open-source query language GROQ.

What you would do:

  • Drive the design and development of complex technical solutions

  • Work on ambiguous problems requiring you to rapidly innovate on novel solutions

  • Contribute to a culture of engineering excellence through peer-reviewing others’ work, testing code and championing our coding standards

  • 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


Who we are:

Sanity.io is a modern, flexible content operating system that replaces rigid legacy content management systems.

Forward-thinking companies choose Sanity because they can create tailored content authoring experiences, customized workflows, and content models that reflect their business.

Backed by Netlify, Vercel, the founders of Twitter and Medium, Heroku’s ex-CEO, and leading VCs like ICONIQ Growth, Threshold Ventures, and Lead Edge Capital, Sanity is at the epicenter of the modern digital product development stack.

You can only build a great company with a great culture. Read about our values and join us in building a diverse and inclusive team.

If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
