Developer Support Engineer, Sentry

• We’re looking for a coder who is passionate about both customer experience and the cutting edge of Agentic Operations
• You’re an AI-First Tinkerer: You believe things should "just work," and you’re excited to use MCP (Model Context Protocol) to connect AI agents to our internal tools
• You Value Evidence-Based Support: You prefer looking at data trends over anecdotal evidence
• You’re a Developer Advocate: You have a passion for developer tools and want to guide the industry on how AI and Humans co-exist in a technical ecosystem
• You’re Results-Driven: You aren't satisfied with "closing tickets"—you want to build a system that scales infinitely
• 4+ years of experience in technical support or engineering, with a track record of solving high-complexity SaaS problems
• Strong Coding Foundations: Proficiency in Python, JavaScript, or Ruby. You should be comfortable reading SDK source code and reproducing bugs
• Modern Dev Stack Knowledge: Deep understanding of CI/CD, APIs, microservices, and observability/monitoring
• AI Literacy: Practical familiarity with the AI stack: You understand how RAG works, why Context Windows matter, and how to debug a System Prompt
• Exceptional Communication: The ability to explain complex architectural concepts to a human and write precise "system instructions" for an AI

Desirable

• At Sentry, support is an engineering discipline. Our customers are developers building the future of software, and they deserve answers that go deeper than a knowledge base link
• We are redefining the standard of technical support by combining deep human expertise with advanced AI agents. We need you to not just solve complex technical issues, but to architect the systems that help us scale that expertise to millions of developers
• Sentry Support Engineers don't just clear queues; they are orchestrators. You will engage with our users across GitHub, Discord, and our support systems, while also acting as the product owner for our AI Agents
• Ou ensure that when a developer asks a complex question, our AI has the right context, the right data, and a seamless "Human-in-the-Loop" path to you when deep expertise is required
• You will drive success by scaling our support through AI, while personally stepping in as a strategic consultant for the most nuanced architectural challenges
• Master the Sentry Ecosystem:
• Become a Platform Expert: Develop deep authority on Sentry’s features to guide customers through complex debugging workflows
• Resolve Technical Inquiries: Answer inbound support requests with a focus on teaching and enabling developers, not just closing tickets
• Troubleshoot SDK Implementations: Go beyond the UI to help developers instrument Sentry’s SDKs within their specific codebases and frameworks
• Manage Bugs & Escalations: Triage and reproduce product bugs, serving as the bridge between customers and our Engineering teams
• Pioneer AI-First Support:
• Train our AI Agents: Manage the performance of our support bots (Triage, Billing, and Technical), ensuring they provide accurate, high-quality assistance
• Curate "AI-Ready" Knowledge: Write and structure documentation specifically optimized for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), ensuring our AI can easily find and use the right information
• Design Human-in-the-Loop Flows: Define the logic for when an AI should hand off to a human, ensuring context is preserved so customers never have to repeat themselves
• Monitor & Refine: Review AI responses for accuracy or hallucinations, creating examples of "perfect answers" to continuously fine-tune the model’s performance
• Handle Complex "Edge Cases": Step in as the expert "Solutions Architect" for gray-area technical issues where AI reaches its limit
• Drive Automation Strategy: Focus on solving problems at the source—building systems and content that resolve issues before a human ever needs to intervene
