- As a Senior Data Scientist, you’ll play a foundational role in shaping how data science operates at Sentry
- You’ll take ownership of complex, ambiguous problem spaces, develop models that drive meaningful business outcomes, and help establish the standards and practices that allow data science to scale
- You’ll partner closely with cross-functional teams to ensure data science work is trusted, adopted, and impactful across the organization
- Help define a repeatable DS operating model, including roadmapping, stakeholder engagement, and delivery standards
- Develop and deploy models that influence product and business decisions (e.g., adoption, customer intelligence, lead scoring, impact measurement)
- Partner with GTM, Product, and Finance to embed models into real workflows, not just dashboards
- Provide technical leadership and raise the bar for data science at Sentry
- Work with Data Engineering to ensure reliable production deployment
- Strengthen the foundations that make experimentation and learning faster over time
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.
