Sanity is seeking a Senior Product Security Engineer who can balance hands-on security work with holistic product security responsibilities. This role will be instrumental in strengthening and developing our security posture while also supporting compliance initiatives and vendor management.

Joining our security team means becoming part of something bigger than just fixing vulnerabilities or reviewing code. You will be empowering creators, developers, and businesses to focus on what they do best while you handle the invisible shield that protects their digital assets. We believe security should enable innovation rather than hinder it, and we're looking for someone who shares our passion for building secure systems that help our customers shine in the digital world.

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.
