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 Technical Lead of the Growth team, you’ll be part of the product trio (PM, designer, tech lead), defining technical direction and guiding architecture to build secure, scalable solutions at high velocity. You'll establish best practices, mentor engineers in the team, make data-informed decisions, and collaborate closely with other tech leads.

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.

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 flow with personalized upsell offers, and re-imagining how the CLI experience should be for a dev tool.

What you will do:

• Act as the team's technical leader, collaborating closely with the product trio (PM, designer, tech lead) to drive product direction.

• Define technical direction and make architecture decisions to build scalable and secure product experiences at high velocity.

• Establish best practices and provide expertise in design, architecture, and testing strategies for scalable services.

• Align with tech leads across product teams to ensure cohesive technical strategy and knowledge sharing.

• Support and mentor team members through technical reviews, design feedback, and pair programming.

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

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

About you:

• Based: Remote in North America (East Coast/ET).

• Proven hands-on staff-level/technical lead-level software engineering experience, having previously worked in a growth team or been a founding/early engineer in a fast-growing startup.

• Proven track record of designing and building APIs and microservices, preferably with proficiency in Go and Node.js.

• Curious and adept technology generalist who can work efficiently across the stack with a variety of languages and technologies (from e.g. React to Go).

• 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.

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