Senior Software Engineer, Enterprise Experience

We’re looking for a backend software engineer to work on building remarkable experiences for Sanity’s content platform.

Who are we?

About the Role

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 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 Go, 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.

What you will be doing

• Work with your teammates to design and develop valuable product increments
• Own your code in production, fixing critical incidents and defects
• Contribute to a culture of engineering excellence through peer reviewing others work, testing your code and championing our coding standards
• Think about the future of our codebase through creating proposals for our team
• Improve how we work through continuously retrospecting and iterating

There are many roads leading up to being a software engineer. Our team is already a mix of self-taught and formally educated people. Don’t self-select out!

• 5+ years of experience in Software Engineering
• Know how to build distributed microservice applications
