Role

Who you are

Enjoy operating cross-functionally, building relationships, and influencing with technical expertise, and shaping how security gets done across a fast-moving engineering organization
Get excited when something new lands on your desk, be it an interesting vulnerability, a sweet exploit, a novel agentic architecture, an unfamiliar cloud primitive, or a bug class you haven't seen before
Love working in an developer-forward culture where your colleagues are builders who care deeply about code quality and customer satisfaction
Reach for automation first, you'd rather build a scalable, systematic solution to a security problem than solve it manually a hundred times
Thrive with real ownership, you prefer to build and drive work end-to-end, you're energized by the autonomy that comes with being on a small, high-trust team
5+ years of industry experience designing, building, securing complex applications and large-scale distributed cloud systems
Degree in Computer Science or a related field, equivalent training, or professional experience
Direct experience with security reviews, SDLC practices, secure CI/CD, architecture reviews, threat modeling, vulnerability management, bug bounty and responsible disclosure programs
Experienced and comfortable programming in at least one language, must be comfortable reviewing Python, Typescript, Go, Rust applications
Familiarity with using distributed cloud technology (AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, etc.) and securing those technologies (cloud networking, IAM, etc.)
A collaborative approach to problem solving paired with strong written and verbal communication
Not sure if you meet 100% of the qualifications? We encourage you to apply anyway. We're interested in people are excited about this opportunity and eager to grow

What the job involves

The Security Team is responsible for securing all things Sentry: our customers, our code, and everything in between
We are a small but growing team with broad scope, high trust, and the autonomy to tackle hard security problems with creativity and an engineering mindset
We work at a company with a strong developer culture, building a product that millions of developers genuinely love and rely on
That context shapes everything about how we operate
As a Senior Security Engineer on this team, you'll work across application and platform security domains
You’ll own and shape the practices that keep Sentry secure as we grow: security reviews, threat modeling, vulnerability management, and embedding secure coding practices into an engineering organization that cares about doing things right
You'll partner closely with product and engineering teams to influence how features are designed and built from the start
You will work as a technical collaborator who helps make the secure path the obvious one
As Sentry expands our agentic product capabilities and development practices, you'll also find yourself at the frontier of a new set of security challenges
Own and mature Sentry's security review program. From secure code review, to architecture review, and threat modeling. You will build processes, tooling, and culture which makes security a natural part of how we ship and operate
Influence mature vulnerability management practices. Intake, triage, prioritization, remediation tracking, and management of our bug bounty and responsible disclosure program
Champion secure-by-design principles. Partner with engineering and product teams to embed security early in the development lifecycle and integrate security tooling into developer and CI/CD workflows
Validate and reproduce application and infrastructure security findings. Scanning, manual testing, coordinate penetration testing and vulnerability validation across Sentry's application, SDKs and cloud-based platform
Evaluate and respond to emerging threats relevant to application security Sentry. We build and operate a complex application and cloud environment, including the novel attack surface introduced by Sentry's agentic product features and AI-assisted engineering practices

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.
