Company mission
To empower developer teams to build their best possible software, more quickly and easily.
Role
Who you are
- Want to be treated like an engineer, not "an intern"
- Care about how software actually works
- Are excited about where AI is taking software development and want to build in the middle of it
- Want mentorship that's real, not scheduled
- Like shipping things and seeing them used
- Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program in Computer Science or a related field
- Proficient in Python, JavaScript, or a similar dynamic language, picked up through internships, personal projects, or coursework
- Solid grasp of algorithms and data structures fundamentals
- Comfortable using GitHub: branching, pull requests, code review, the works
- Experience collaborating on an engineering project with a team (class, open source, work, it counts)
- Can pick up a new language or framework quickly and run with it
- At least one previous internship or equivalent hands-on experience
- Available to start May 2027 and able to relocate to San Francisco for the duration of the internship (we'll help get you there and cover housing)
What the job involves
- Software Engineering Interns at Sentry write real code on real projects that ship to production. No HackerRank. No fetch-the-coffee. Just you, a team that actually trusts you, and a codebase used by millions of developers every day, including the ones building the AI tools everyone's talking about
- Be matched with a Product or Infrastructure Engineering team based on what you're into and what you're good at
- Own a project end-to-end, tech spec, scoping, implementation, testing, and shipping. The whole thing
- Write code that goes to production and matters to real users
- Use AI tooling the way engineers actually use it, as part of the workflow, not a party trick
- Get real feedback from engineers who care about craft, not just velocity
- Contribute to open source every day (yes, really)
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. And the company is well-positioned for significant growth as 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 the end of 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.
