Staff Software Engineer (Front-end) - Web

At Sanity.io, we are changing how forward-thinking companies like PUMA, Spotify, Figma, Riot Games, and Linear create digital experiences. Our content operating system replaces rigid legacy CMS solutions with a flexible, developer-first platform that gives engineers complete control to build without restrictions.

The Web Team is responsible for Sanity.io—the digital front door where developers, technical leaders, and content teams discover what’s possible with the Sanity Content Operating System. We need an exceptional site that not only communicates our value but also demonstrates the technical excellence and developer experience that sets Sanity apart.

Your mission

As our Staff Software Engineer, you will partner with our Tech Lead and Lead Marketing Designer to enhance sanity.io into a showcase that reflects the power of our content operating system. You’ll create an experience that resonates with developers, tech leaders, and product owners, showing them precisely how Sanity removes the burden of content management and enables innovation.

Your work will directly impact how the technical audience perceives Sanity, influence our growth metrics, and serve as a reference implementation for what developers can achieve with our platform. When our Tech Lead is offline, you’ll also step in as a technical decision-maker on the team.

If you enjoy building best-in-class front-end experiences, working in a small, focused team, and shaping a web platform that scales effortlessly, we’d love to hear from you.
