Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • Own the technical vision and delivery of Sanity’s flagship Creator Experience products—Content Agent and Canvas—guiding seven high-caliber engineers who are re-imagining how AI can remove friction from large-scale content operations.
- • Partner daily with your embedded Product Manager and Lead Designer to translate customer pain points into an ambitious yet achievable roadmap; balance short-term wins with long-term bets on LLM-powered features that will define the next era of web content.
- • Champion a culture of experimentation: run structured spikes, A/B tests, and LLM evaluation pipelines so every new AI capability is measurable, reliable, and safe for the thousands of editors who trust Sanity with their most critical content.
- • Architect and ship performant, accessible React/TypeScript interfaces that feel native to both technical and non-technical users; obsess over keyboard shortcuts, real-time collaboration, and delightful micro-interactions that turn complex workflows into intuitive clicks.
- • Build bridges between backend and frontend by defining clear APIs, caching strategies, and event-driven patterns that let Canvas render live previews across Next.js, Astro, SvelteKit, or any framework our customers choose.
- • Mentor engineers through weekly 1:1s, career ladders, and lightweight growth plans; spot emerging leaders early and give them runway to own sub-systems, run incident reviews, or present at external conferences.
- • Establish predictable delivery rhythms—OKRs, sprint planning, story estimation, and lightweight RFCs—while protecting maker time and avoiding process theater; use data from Linear, Datadog, and LaunchDarkly to continuously refine throughput and quality.
- • Collaborate with the broader engineering org to evolve our monorepo, CI/CD, and observability standards; contribute to shared libraries that let every Sanity team ship secure, localized, and accessible features faster.
- • Act as the voice of engineering in customer calls, sales QBRs, and community livestreams; translate technical nuance into compelling narratives that help SKIMS, Figma, or Riot Games see what’s possible next.
- • Stay hands-on: review pull requests, prototype risky ideas in Cursor or GitHub Copilot, and occasionally jump into on-call rotations so you never lose empathy for the operational realities your team faces.
- • Influence Sanity’s AI ethics and safety posture; work with legal, security, and product leadership to set guardrails for generative features that respect brand voice, privacy, and regulatory requirements across global markets.
- • Evangelize Sanity’s developer experience externally—write blog posts, speak at meetups, or release open-source tooling—while internally codifying best practices that keep our DX bar industry-leading.
- • Foster an inclusive, remote-first culture spanning Oslo, San Francisco, London, and beyond; rotate meeting times, document decisions asynchronously, and celebrate diverse perspectives that ultimately produce better software.
🎯 Requirements
- • 6+ years of professional software engineering with at least 1+ year in a formal engineering management role at a product-centric SaaS company.
- • Demonstrated fluency in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node.js, and modern web build toolchains; able to dive into code reviews and architectural discussions with credibility.
- • Proven track record of shipping complex, user-facing features that balance performance, accessibility, and maintainability.
- • Hands-on experience integrating LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-source) and building evaluation pipelines, observability, and guardrails for AI-driven products.
- • Strong organizational and planning skills—comfortable owning OKRs, sprint rituals, and cross-team dependency mapping in a high-growth environment.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Competitive salary and a generous stock-options program tied to the recent $85 M Series C, positioning you for upside as Sanity scales globally.
- • Comprehensive health plans, wellness stipends, and family-friendly policies designed to support both personal and professional growth.
- • A flexible, trust-based, remote-first culture with hubs in Oslo, London, and San Francisco—work where you thrive while staying connected to a diverse, mission-driven team.
