Role

Who you are

You’ll love this job if you relish the challenge of continually improving imperfect systems and making tradeoffs to balance technical constraints with long-term scalability
Want to be the change you seek in the world of developer tooling. You recognize that you are the target user for Sentry, and you want to have an influence on the things that make it into the product
8+ years of professional software engineering experience
4+ years of experience in engineering large-scale high throughput systems
Bachelors Degree in Computer Science, or related field, and/or relevant experience
Strong experience with Django/Python (or similar frameworks and languages)
Working experience with React/Typescript (or similar frameworks and languages)
Bonus points for experience with querying time-series data at scale
Hybrid work schedule for in-person collaboration on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. For roles considered remote, this will not apply

What the job involves

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with experience working with large-scale systems
The team owns the Alerts platform, which is a key functionality for Sentry’s various application monitoring products. It is a mission critical feature used by thousands of engineering teams to warn them when their application is misbehaving
Have opportunities to work on high-impact projects that touch the entire stack: understanding the event ingestion pipeline; delving into search and storage systems; and surfacing that data to our customers on our backend and frontend codebases (did we mention that almost all of them are open-source?)
Collaborate closely with Product Managers and Product Designers to iterate on our Alerts product, and ship innovative and impactful features to address the diverse use cases of our customers
Scale critical Tier 0 services to ensure they remain performant and resilient as throughput grows
Create engineering initiatives to empower the team to continually achieve higher standards of operational excellence
Raise the team’s technical aptitude through code review and mentorship

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 organizations 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 has also opened another office in Denver in early 2023, expanding its regional presence, and has announced additional functionality in its platform, all of which bodes well for Sentry's future.
