- Want to build a product by developers for developers
- Want to join a modern software development team that iterates and ships code rapidly
- Get excited about contributing to open source full-time — our product is entirely Open Source
- Enjoy working with collaborative, thoughtful engineers who push themselves and others to do better
- Love to interact with your user base - whether it be on GitHub or in-person at conferences
- Love writing C# (we also do) and learning things in depth
- 5+ years as a Software Engineer and/or related role (e.g. app or backend developer, SDK engineer)

What the job involves
- As a Senior Software Engineer (.NET) in our SDK team you'll join a cross-functional group responsible for the client facing operations of Sentry
- This includes building and maintaining our .NET SDK and supporting the ecosystem surrounding it
- You will help Sentry improve the quality of life of .NET developers everywhere by building best in class application monitoring solutions
- You will work with product and technical leaders to drive Sentry's .NET community growth
- Work with the client infrastructure teams to improve and evolve Sentry's .NET SDKs for backend, web, desktop, mobile and gaming
- Work together with maintainers of upstream packages
- This could be packages our SDK depends on and/or packages we want to instrument for our users (like frameworks such as .NET itself or OSS libraries)
- Collaborate with the other SDK teams on API and protocol design that scale (we ingest over a billion events every day)
- Improve Sentry's .NET performance and error monitoring solutions for associated frameworks: ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core, WinForms, WPF, Blazor, MAUI and Unity
- Write unit and integration tests that ensure the correctness of your work, as well as strong documentation to help educate both peers and customers
- Assist Customer Operations to resolve live customer issues when bugs sneak into production caused by the SDKs
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.

Company values
- Pixels matter - We understand that the difference between a good product and a great one is in the finer details. We take extra care to get everything right, down to the last pixel
- Feedback is priceless - White lies help no one. We give each other constructive, respectful, and sincere feedback for the best collective outcome and most personal growth. (On our work, that is. We'll keep opinions on your floral-patterned pants to ourselves)
- Step by step - We don't expect to get things right the first time around. We do our best work by iterating: making small changes, measuring impact, and trying again (and again, and sometimes again)
- For every developer - Sentry is a tool for everyone who codes. We strive to create a product that's accessible (and indispensable) to developers at any level, at companies big, small, and everything beyond and in between
- Work in progress - We know that we don't know everything. Nothing here is set in stone. We're still filling roles and writing rules, as a team. In the meantime, we embrace individual ownership, autonomy, and accountability
- Value people - We respect one another. We understand that success comes from a variety of backgrounds, experiences, skills, and opinions — not in spite of it. Even if we disagree on the route, we still push forward to the end
