Full-Stack Engineer - Support Team (not a product developer position)
Behind every great product is an incredible support team. This is especially true for a category-defining product like Sanity.io. We are looking for an experienced full-stack support engineer. You will provide first-class technical guidance to our Enterprise client base and act as a point of escalation to tackle the most gnarly issues reaching our support team.
Sanity.io is a content platform replacing traditional and headless CMSes in digital solutions at organizations like Spotify, Figma and Stack Overflow.
By treating content as data and enabling customers to create tailored content authoring experiences, modern organizations use Sanity to quickly create customized workflows and content models, drive a programmatic approach to content, and enable organizations to distribute structured content from a single source of truth.
Backed by Netlify, Vercel, Twitter, and Medium founders, Heroku's ex-CEO, and leading VCs like ICONIQ Growth, Threshold Ventures, and Lead Edge Capital, Sanity is at the epicentre of the modern digital products stack.
You can only build a great company with a great culture. Please read about our values here and join us in building a diverse and inclusive team.
As a Full-stack Engineer on the Support team at Sanity.io, you will provide first-class technical guidance to our Enterprise client base and act as a point of escalation to tackle the most gnarly issues reaching Support.
