About The Position
We are seeking a Senior Sanity Engineer to lead an enterprise-level migration from Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) to Sanity CMS. This is a lift-and-shift rebuild of existing content architecture — not a redesign — requiring strong experience in schema modeling, content migration, and headless CMS integrations. This role will own the technical implementation of Sanity Studio, content modeling strategy, migration scripting, and integration with a Shopify/Hydrogen frontend. This is not a traditional AEM backend role. We are specifically looking for deep, hands-on Sanity expertise.

- Strong experience with: Schema design and structured content modeling
- Strong experience with: GROQ queries
- Strong experience with: Portable Text

- Strong experience with: Dataset/environment management
- Experience executing large-scale CMS migrations (500+ pages)
- Experience writing content migration scripts (Node.js preferred)
- Strong React and/or Next.js experience
- Experience integrating headless CMS with Shopify or other commerce platforms
- Strong understanding of headless architecture patterns
Nice To Haves
