[Hiring] Senior Partner Solutions Engineer @Sanity

Role Description

The Senior Partner Solutions Engineer owns both the technical work and the relationship for a portfolio of Sanity's technology partners. You scope, prototype, and review the technical side of partner solutions and you also manage the partner relationship itself, the business conversations, and day-to-day project management. You report to the VP, Technical Partnerships.

Most integrations ship through the partner's own engineering team or Sanity R&D—your job is to make sure what gets built is the right thing, built the right way, and that the partnership itself stays healthy and productive.

What you would do:

• Partner Relationship & Strategic Advisory
  • Own the relationship with a portfolio of partners: the project plan, the roadmap, the business conversation, and the technical scoping, as one continuous thread.
  • Lead conversations with partner business and product leaders, moving fluidly between strategic and technical framing.
  • Assess technical feasibility and effort on the spot well enough to keep a strategic conversation moving, then follow up with real scoping.
  • Shape partner pitches and joint roadmaps with grounded technical input, so commitments made in the room are ones R&D or the partner can actually deliver.
• Technical Scoping & Prototyping
  • Identify and document the technical opportunity for a partner integration or MCP-based solution: architecture, API surface, data flows, and integration points.
  • Build prototypes and proofs of concept where they de-risk a build or clarify a design decision.
  • Produce clear technical documentation so a partner's engineering team or Sanity R&D can build to production without re-doing the scoping work.
  • Navigate partner APIs, SDKs, and technical documentation directly; speak credibly with partner engineers about integration design and trade-offs.
  • Partner with R&D during build and launch to answer scoping questions and validate the implementation against the original opportunity.
• Technical Review
  • Review partner-built integrations for code quality, security posture, API usage, and joint customer value.
  • Give partners clear, actionable feedback, and flag systemic gaps back to Product/Engineering.
• AI & Technical Fluency
  • Be fluent in core AI application architecture and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
  • Hands-on evaluation of partners' AI product surfaces to inform scoping decisions.
  • Identify where Sanity's content platform creates real technical leverage inside an AI-native partner's stack.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Work with Sanity R&D to hand off scoped opportunities, support them through the build and represent partner needs in the roadmap.
  • Support Solutions Architects and Sales Engineering with technical assets from your partners.

Qualifications

• 3–6 years as a software engineer, solutions engineer, or technical partner/integration role.
• A builder mentality: you generate your own creative ideas for what a joint solution could be.
• Comfortable in the room with business and product leaders.
• Hands-on experience with APIs, SDKs, webhooks & modern AI/developer tools.
• Working knowledge of core AI/LLM concepts and hands-on experience with the MCP framework.
• Strong technical writing skills.
• Comfortable operating independently across ambiguous, undefined problems.

Requirements

• Experience reviewing or auditing third-party integrations for security or architecture.
• Experience with headless CMS or headless commerce integration patterns.
• Background in developer relations or technical partnerships.
• You've used Sanity in production or built your own solutions with Sanity.

Benefits

• A highly-skilled, inspiring, and supportive team.
• Positive, flexible, and trust-based work environment that encourages long-term professional and personal growth.
• A global, multi-culturally diverse group of colleagues and customers.
• Comprehensive health plans and perks.
• A healthy work-life balance that accommodates individual and family needs.
• Competitive salary and stock options program.
