We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build Sanity’s Internet-scale content storage and distribution platform at the heart of our Content Operating System.
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.
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Content Lake DX team, you’ll be responsible for building highly scalable, performant distributed systems that provide our core content storage and querying capabilities and serve millions of requests a minute.
Some of the things you’ll be focusing on are intelligent caching, lightning-fast query performance, and supercharging the developer experience we offer through contributing to our open-source query language GROQ.
What you would do:
- Drive the design and development of complex technical solutions
- Work on ambiguous problems requiring you to rapidly innovate on novel solutions
- Contribute to a culture of engineering excellence through peer-reviewing others’ work, testing code and championing our coding standards
- Coach teammates and provide technical mentorship to level up the whole team
- Retrospect and influence how our team works recommending product or process improvements
- Lead critical incidents responses and fix our most complex defects
About you:
- Based in North America (East Coast/ET) or Europe (Norway, United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland, Spain, Finland, Estonia)
- A proven track record of building and running distributed applications at scale, preferably at a product/SaaS company
- Have a passion for cutting-edge technology, you love to know about latest developments and apply them to your work
- An expert in any backend language; however, you’ll be required to write Go and some Typescript / Node.js
- Able to clearly and concisely communicate technical designs and thinking verbally and in writing
- A compassionate, friendly human being that cares about and respects the people you work with
