Design and build a real time, planet spanning document store

We are looking for a seasoned developer with architect-skills to drive the long term development of the heart of our business stratgy: our globally distributed, real time, collaborative document storage and distribution engine.

Simen Svale

Co-founder and CTO at Sanity.io

The team behind Sanity.io are looking for a senior software architect driving the long term development of the distributed, real-time document store powering Sanity.io. Is this you, or someone you know?

The mission

Sanity.io is a startup building world-class cloud-based content infrastructures at enterprise scale. Our passion is to enable developers of all kinds to work with editors in creating efficient flows of content within organizations. We craft delightful interfaces for content creators, let developers integrate workflow across systems while freeing designers to tailor inspiring presentations to specific platforms.

Sanity.io has been in production for more than four years but launched publicly in November 2017. The best products are built bottom-up and we, therefore, emphasize a developer-centric approach focused on our community. User experience and design are the keys to our long-term success.

We are passionate people making extraordinary things. Yet we also know that building a business is not a sprint, but a marathon. We, therefore, strive for a work/life balance that will let us perform in the long run. This year we are opening our second office in San Francisco and will relocate two co-founders to build our US business.

Your work

Our product consists of a real-time database and distribution network built to enable world-spanning teamwork and integration with enterprise systems, process automation, and AI-content enrichment solutions—and an open sourced front-end toolkit that enables developers to build inspiring authoring tools for their editors. It supports deep queries in (optionally) schema-less data sets, fine grained access control, real-time collaborative editing of rich data structures and scales to millions of documents.

In terms of end-user delivery, “unlimited” horizontal scalability remains a hard requirement. As a startup, our code base is legacy free and nimble. All performance-critical subsystems are written in Go, with some line-of-business systems implemented in JavaScript/Node.

As the architect on the datastore team, you will collaborate closely with our CTO and Engineering Manager maintaining the development roadmap, keeping it in line with our business goals on the short and long term, and lead the software design work on your small team. You will also be an active developer on the team, implementing a solid bit of the code yourself.

The work involves making informed recommendations on decisions related to data intensive applications, distributed systems, computer language design and processing and query optimization and execution.

What we hope to learn about you:

  • Your experience with languages such as Go, Rust, C++, C#, Java or similar languages.
  • Your previous experience with backend software architecture and design.
  • Your thoughts and reflections about developing scalable, highly available distributed systems.
  • It is a plus if you have an education in or practical experience with some related CS topics like computer language design, database theory or distributed systems.

We offer:

  • A friendly team with a passion for excellence and an excellent work ethic.
  • Flexible work environment, with the option of working remotely.
  • Competitive salary and stock options.
  • Base in the second happiest country in the world (Norway), in one of Europe’s fastest growing cities (Oslo) ticking all the boxes when it comes to arts, night-life, family friendliness, and the great outdoors. And everyone speaks English!
  • On-site staff enjoy awesome social benefits as mandated by Norwegian law including child benefits, paid parental leave, universal healthcare, and proper Nordic vacations.

Do send us your CV and some code of yours that you feel represent you well.
