- Experience with Python, JavaScript or a similar dynamic programming language through internships, personal projects, or coding competitions
- At least 1 previous internship or equivalent practical experience
- We expect interns to be able to learn and deliver quickly (an intern’s first PR to Sentry is usually merged within a week). While a prior internship is not required, we expect the following abilities, experience, and skills from any applicant:

- Collaborating with a team on an engineering project

- Be matched with one of our Product or Infrastructure Engineering teams, based on your interests and experience
- Design, develop, and ship a programming solution that drives real values to customers
- Receive meaningful feedback, coaching, and mentorship from your manager and teammates
- You’ll love this job if you:
- Want to experience being a full-time engineer on a team and not be "just an intern"
- This means being responsible for leading a project from ideation to deployment, including writing a tech spec, scoping out work, technical implementation and testing, and shipping code!
- Value mentorship and being able to work closely with and learn from world-class engineers
- Want to join a modern software development team that iterates and ships code rapidly
- Are excited at the opportunity to contribute to an open-source project every day
Application process

Our take
Defective software leads to dissatisfied users, disruptions and potential financial losses for companies. Sentry has created application monitoring and error tracking software to help developers fix errors faster, easier and more cost effectively.
More than 1 million developers and 70,000 organisations worldwide, including the likes of Microsoft, Disney, Atlassian, Cloudflare and Slack, have used Sentry to monitor their code health. The company is well-positioned for significant growth. There is an emerging need for solutions that address holistic application health. As more companies focus on digital to engage with their customers, the reliability of their applications is essential.
The global bug-tracking software market is expected to reach over $600 million by 2026 with an annual growth rate of almost 10%. Further, the company opened another office in Denver in early 2023, expanding its regional presence, as it continues to broaden its market presence.
