Company mission
To empower developer teams to build their best possible software, more quickly and easily.
Role
Who you are
- Sentry is seeking a highly technical and developer focused Product Designer to join our team in San Francisco or Seattle
- Love making the lives of engineers and/or your fellow designers easier
- Enjoy working cross-functionally and building out features alongside developers and product teams
- Respect the value of design constraints but enjoy pushing their limits
- Are a strong advocate for UX, UI and visual design
- Are passionate about open source and wouldn't mind more green boxes on your contribution graph
- 5+ years of product design experience, or a portfolio that can trick us into believing so (a link to a portfolio or relevant work is required)
- Frontend experience with HTML/CSS and an understanding of how to design for the web
- Impeccable taste and knack for attention to detail
- Experience with conducting user interviews and parsing results
- Experience with Figma or other modern design tools
- Experience with reducing complex concepts into approachable workflows
- Bonus: Familiarity with Javascript frameworks like React or experience with templating engines
- Bonus: An active GitHub profile and/or contributions to open source projects
- Bonus: Experience with SVG, specifically for data visualization
- Bonus: Experience with version control
- Hybrid work schedule for in-person collaboration on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. For roles considered remote, this will not apply
Desirable
- You've designed and built tools apart of small teams in the past
- You are familiar with the developer process and workflow, and what annoys them
- Struggle with identifying as an Engineer or a Designer on your LinkedIn profile
What the job involves
- Your designs will help developers ship higher-quality and more performant apps with confidence
- You will work alongside a senior team of product managers, engineers and designers to create product experiences that set us apart from our competitors
- This role is highly technical and requires a deep understanding of common developer workflows
- Developers turned designers, take note: if you've got domain experience and can talk frontend and backend, from application down to the function, this may be the role for you
- We are a small but mighty team of designers from companies such as Gusto, Square, Spotify, GitHub, and more
- Sure, we're an elite squad of problem solvers and dot connectors, but we don't let that go to our heads
- Have a huge impact by designing core improvements to the largest and most popular parts of Sentry
- Collaborate closely with a tight-knit group of designers that meet weekly to share work, thoughts, opinions and general rantings
- Contribute to our component library and design documentation
- Help developers across the globe be more efficient by maximizing signal and limiting noise
- Be instrumental in creating a consistent look and feel throughout our products
- Help define systems to enable our design and frontend teams to be more efficient and collaborative
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
