As a Support Engineer at Sanity.io, you will provide first-class technical guidance to our fast-growing developer community and customer base. Working closely with our users, Support Engineers are an authority on Sanity’s content platform, common front-end frameworks, and other integrations in the headless space. You will have an important presence, interacting with developers from across the world and acting as the customer’s voice to help drive improvements that ensure people’s success with Sanity.

You will be part of a small, highly-skilled, and supportive team working together to help people through their technical hurdles. You will be handling complex issues from highly proficient users but also offer step-by-step guidance to people who are new to Sanity and development. To us, it is important to foster an inclusive and welcoming space where people of different experience levels feel comfortable asking for help. This compassionate approach means we value empathy and communication skills as much as technical capabilities and resourcefulness.

Finally, as an early member of the team shaping how we approach and build out support, you will have the opportunity to create tooling, infrastructure, and processes to help us incentivize community and self-reliance, make it easier to follow up conversations, and pull useful signals out from the activity.
