  • A healthy work-life balance that accommodates individual and family needs

  • Competitive salary and stock options program


Who we are:

Sanity.io is a modern, flexible content operating system that replaces rigid legacy content management systems.

Backed by Netlify, Vercel, the founders of Twitter and Medium, Heroku’s ex-CEO, and leading VCs like ICONIQ Growth, Threshold Ventures, and Lead Edge Capital, Sanity is at the epicenter of the modern digital product development stack.

You can only build a great company with a great culture. Read about our values and join us in building a diverse and inclusive team.
