About Sentry

Software runs the world and the pace is faster than ever. Sentry helps developers fix errors and performance issues before users notice, so teams can spend less time firefighting and more time building.

Trusted by 200,000+ organizations, Sentry is today’s application monitoring standard and the team is building its AI-native future.

About the role

The Security Team is responsible for securing all things Sentry: customers, code, and everything in between. As a Security Engineer focused on Identity, Access and Management (IAM), you will work across domains to maintain and improve Sentry’s identity and access management practices. You will own and shape access control practices that keep Sentry productive and secure as it grows, partnering closely with Infrastructure, IT, and Platform teams to offer efficient secure self-service workflows. The role emphasizes technical collaboration and making the secure path the obvious one.

Responsibilities

  • Own and mature identity and access management infrastructure and tooling such as SSO, MFA, and directory services across corporate, development and production cloud environments.
  • Improve identity and access control practices with automation and self-service support for onboarding/offboarding, joiners/movers/leavers, access reviews, privileged access management, SaaS lifecycle management, and security incident response workflows.
  • Champion and implement secure-by-design access principles including attribute- and context-aware grants, comprehensive logging, just-in-time (JIT) provisioning, least privilege, policy-as-code automation, and zero-trust.
  • Secure human and non-human identities: user accounts, service accounts, API keys, OAuth clients, agentic, and workload identities.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of industry experience designing, building, and securing workforce identity and access control systems for corporate, development, and large-scale distributed cloud systems.
  • Degree in Computer Science or a related field, equivalent training, or professional experience.
  • Proficiency in Python and other scripting languages; experience with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code tools; building integrations via APIs, SCIM, and webhooks.
  • Experience with a breadth of identity platforms (IdP, IGA, PAM, Cloud IAM, etc.).
  • Familiarity with cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure), containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and securing CI/CD and source control tools (GitHub, GitLab).
  • Collaborative approach to problem solving with strong written and verbal communication.
