Senior Software Engineer, Enterprise Experience

Sanity.io is a modern, flexible content platform that replaces rigid legacy content management systems so companies like PUMA, Spotify, Figma, Riot Games, and Skims can create amazing digital experiences for their customers.

One of our big differentiators is treating content as data so it can be stored in a single source of truth but seamlessly adapted and personalized for any channel without extra effort. 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.

As a member of the team working as a backend software engineer, your role will involve delivering functionalities that empower customers to enhance the efficiency and flexibility of their developers' experience with the Sanity platform. This will be achieved by ensuring that using, configuring, monitoring, optimizing, and overseeing the platform is a pleasurable and seamless process. This is a new team with vast potential and a huge problem space to explore. We’ll create features such as advanced real-time platform observability, content lifecycle management, and feature configuration & billing management. You'll be building mostly back-end services using Golang, with some simple UI components (on React) in the mix very occasionally. You’ll be working in a cross-functional, remote-first team made up of highly experienced, motivated people.
