# Software Engineer, AI Growth

- **Company:** THE SANITY PLEA LLC
- **Location:** San Francisco, CA, United States (Remote available)
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Cursor (Graphical User Interface Elements), Programming Tools, Next.js, TypeScript, ReactJS, Prompt Engineering, Backend, Front End Software Development, OPUS (Software), GPT
- **Published:** August 23, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.workingnomads.com/job/go/1809349/

## About the Role

* Based in Remote US or San Francisco / Bay Area - if you are in San Francisco/ Bay Area, you should be able to work at least 2 days a week from the office.
 * Strong TypeScript, React, and Node.js skills - you're comfortable moving between frontend and backend, and a pure specialist profile isn't what we're after.
 * Shipped AI-powered code to production - whether at work or through side projects, you've built real things with OpenAI, Anthropic, or Vercel AI SDKs.
 * Actively using MCP in your workflow - you've enhanced your own development with MCP servers. Bonus if you've built one yourself.
 * Fluent in the current AI landscape - you can articulate the differences between Claude Opus 4.5, Gemini 3, and GPT-5.2, and you have opinions on tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, and v0.
 * Hungry and curious - you're obsessed with the craft, experimenting constantly, and energized by how fast this space moves.
 * Strong prompt intuition - you can 'decode' why a model is hallucinating or ignoring instructions without relying solely on automated evals.
 * Collaborative and clear communicator - you work well with designers and product managers, and you can explain complex AI concepts simply.

## Description

* Build agentic developer tools - ship systems that can generate Sanity apps and studios, as well as frontend code with minimal human guidance.
 * Design and run evals - build evaluation suites using Braintrust to catch regressions, measure improvements, and make data-driven decisions about prompt and model changes.
 * Build a Sanity MCP app - create rich React interfaces on top of the MCP protocol for platforms like ChatGPT (using the new ChatGPT Apps SDK) and Claude.
 * Move across the stack daily - one day you're designing a new MCP tool, the next you're polishing a React component or deploying a new microservice.
 * Apply prompt engineering craft - diagnose why models fail, steer them effectively, and build intuition for what makes prompts work at scale.
 * Ship production AI features - write clean, well-tested TypeScript and turn experiments into reliable capabilities that thousands of developers use.
 * Collaborate with the team - work closely with design, product, and engineering to iterate quickly and share what you learn.
