Who are we?

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.

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.

About the Role

As a Staff Software Engineer in Growth, you’ll be a leader on the team and part of the team’s product trio (PM, designer, engineering), working on solving complex technical challenges to further drive product growth and create great product experiences. 

Some of the things we’re working on are real-time product data pipelines to personalize new users’ onboarding experience, behavior-based in-app communication channels, seamless access sharing, and authentication, high-converting check-out flows with personalized upsell offers, re-imagining how the CLI experience should be for a dev tool.

To drive product growth (acquisition, activation, and monetization), we leverage A/B testing, experimentation, user research, and rapid iterations. You’ll work across the product and stack using the latest technologies (TypeScript, Next.js, React, Node.js, Go) and collaborate closely with a highly skilled and supportive team of engineers, designers, and data analysts.

In Growth, we understand that the vast majority of experiments fail , and we therefore value speed, creativity, and pragmatism above all. We ship fast and iterate – giving you the freedom to experiment and test out new ideas and technologies.

What you will be doing

• Devise product experiments from ideation to production working across the product and stack, with the velocity and quality needed to move key product metrics.

• Define best practices and coding patterns and provide deep expertise on design, architecture, and validation strategies in projects.

• Provides significant technical leadership across teams and projects to help others learn and grow (e.g. feedback on technical design docs, pair programming, reviewing PRs)

• Make data-informed decisions based on user research, experimentation, and rapid iterations.

• Work with a wide range of technologies and platforms, including React, TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, Go, PostgreSQL, Rudderstack, Amplitude, GrowthBook, BigQuery, and DBT.

This may be you

• Software engineer with 5+ years experience from a high-growth SaaS company, and 2+ years of experience as a tech lead.

• Curious and adept technology generalist who can work efficiently across the stack with a variety of languages and technologies.

• Proven track record of designing and building APIs and microservices at scale. An expert in any back-end language, however, you’ll be required to write in Go and some Typescript / Node.js.

• Thoughtful problem solver with the ability to quickly and accurately understand context and break down complex problems into efficient solutions.

• Able to find pragmatic solutions that balance quality, speed, and results – prioritizing business impact over perfection.

• Can work through difficult and deep technical issues, and is a sought after consultant on designs and implementation tradeoffs.

• Empathic and effective communicator of ideas, technical decisions, and feedback – both in writing and during real-time communication.
