Responsibilities
Lead a team of engineers – help them prioritize for impact, grow in their careers, and do the best work of their lives
Own strategy, roadmap, and execution – work closely with your product and design partners to decide what to build and make sure it ships
Drive growth metrics – activation rates, signups from integrations, developer adoption. You'll know what's working because you're measuring it
Ship fast and iterate – run experiments, learn from failures, and double down on wins. The vast majority of experiments fail, so we value speed and pragmatism over perfection
Build AI developer tools – MCP integrations, agentic builders, and partnerships with the platforms where developers are building today
Build platform integrations – connect Sanity to the tools teams already use, like storage providers (Google Drive, Dropbox) and analytics platforms
Set technical direction – guide architecture decisions that balance velocity with maintainability across TypeScript, React, and Node.js, & Go microservices
Collaborate across the company – align with engineering leadership, marketing, and partnerships on shared growth metrics and goals
Qualification
Required
Based in San Francisco – able to work from the office regularly
1+ years of engineering management experience – ideally in growth or experimentation-heavy environments
Strong full-stack technical skills – deep experience with TypeScript, React, Node.js, and Next.js. You can review code, guide architecture decisions, and jump in when needed. Not looking for managers who've drifted far from the code
Actively using MCP and AI tools – you've used MCP servers in your own workflow and have opinions on tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, and v0. You can articulate the differences between Claude Opus 4.5, Gemini 3, and GPT-5.2
Growth engineering experience – you've run A/B tests, optimized funnels, and made data-informed decisions. Familiarity with tools like GrowthBook, Amplitude, or similar
Strong cross-functional collaborator – you work well with product, design, marketing, and partnerships, and you're effective at managing stakeholders across the company
Comfortable with ambiguity – you can drive clarity when the path isn't obvious and make good decisions with incomplete information
Bias for action – you'd rather ship something and learn than plan forever. You know when to be scrappy and when to invest in quality
Benefits
Comprehensive health plans and perks
Competitive stock options program and location-based salary
