Job Description
We are seeking a Senior Sanity Engineer to Lead the technical migration from 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.

Marketing landing pages
Store pages
Pearl planner pages initiatives
25–30 reusable components
700+ store detail pages
100+ marketing content pages

- Preferred Experience
- Previous AEM → headless CMS migration experience
