Role

Who you are

Are a product-minded software engineer. You regard Product and Design as your peers, and you seek collaboration to create innovative workflows
Are highly detail oriented but know how to make pragmatic tradeoffs to deliver impact quickly
Are excited to leverage your diverse skillset and dive into another team’s codebase to unblock yourself, making good, maintainable changes and earning the trust and recognition of your peers
Love to collaborate with peers, driving for alignment and leading technical initiatives that span multiple teams
5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer or similar role, preferably with experience using Python & Django, JavaScript/TypeScript & React, or similar frameworks
Experience using profiling and performance monitoring tools to optimize software (must-have), and preferably have experience building such tools
Excellent written and oral communication skills and an ability to articulate technical concepts clearly and succinctly
Experience owning the end-to-end delivery and long-term support of large product features
Familiarity with architectural patterns for building scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems
Familiarity with C, C++, Rust, Go, or other systems programming languages is a plus

What the job involves

The Profiling team creates tools that help developers improve the performance of their code
We measure how long code takes to execute in production, revealing bottlenecks and hot spots that could be optimized to reduce infrastructure costs and deliver a high quality experience for end users
Our goal is to build low overhead sampling profiler solutions to cover the many different platforms supported by Sentry, and to deliver a great user experience that is connected to the rest of the Sentry product ecosystem
Build and maintain the Profiling product and adjacent product areas using Python, Django, React, TypeScript and Rust
Drive end-to-end execution: collecting profiling data using SDK integrations, ingesting, storing, and querying the data efficiently, and building end user workflows to visualize the data and connect it to other Sentry product experiences
Work closely with Product Management, Design and Engineering Leadership to define, implement and ship new features
Raise technical expertise within the organization through collaboration, mentorship, pairing and code reviews

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.
