Sanity.io is looking to leverage AI technology to build practical product capabilities that help their users by developing AI-driven features and agents for their content platform, enhancing content management and delivery.
Requirements
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js (our core tech stack).
- Hands-on experience building AI-powered applications or working with machine learning/LLM APIs, including building evals to evaluate performance, either in a full-time role or through side projects.
- Bonus points if you're comfortable with Python (for data/ML tasks).
- Detail-oriented with a structured approach to solving problems. You can design architecture that is elegant, robust, and scalable (and you appreciate the value of structured content and clean APIs).
- Familiarity with content management systems, content modeling, or developer tools is a plus (not required you can pick up these domain concepts quickly).
Responsibilities
- Design and build AI-driven features and agents that revolutionize how content is created, structured, and delivered within the Sanity platform.
- Leverage LLMs to analyze unstructured content (e.g. plain text) and infer structured data and metadata, making content more organized and "AI-ready."
- Enhance our Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, adding new capabilities and tools so that AI agents can seamlessly interact with Sanity's content lake and perform complex content operations.
- Work closely with design and product to prototype intuitive user experiences that blend AI automation with human oversight, iterating on feedback to get it just right.
- Apply cutting-edge AI research in practical ways from clever prompt engineering to optimizing how we handle large content datasets and turn these innovations into reliable, scalable product features.
- Write clean, well-tested code primarily in TypeScript (Node.js)
- Collaborate with fellow engineers to share knowledge and establish best practices for AI development, ensuring the solutions we ship are robust, ethical, and maintainable at scale.
Other
- Based in San Francisco / Bay Area and able to work at least 2 days per week in our San Francisco office.
- 2+ years of software engineering experience, preferably building user-facing products
- A naturally curious and creative problem solver who loves to experiment and learn new technologies.
- Collaborative and communicative you work well in a team, share ideas, and can explain complex concepts clearly. You enjoy cross-functional collaboration with designers and product managers.
- You're excited about augmenting your own work with AI whether it's using tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or building custom workflows you see AI not just as a feature for users, but as a powerful tool to supercharge your own engineering velocity and creativity.
