About the role

Sentry provides a suite of services to help developers identify and resolve issues in their applications. These tools are mission-critical for companies that need to move quickly without sacrificing stability. The Developer Infrastructure team focuses on making the development and deployment of these tools safe, efficient, and enjoyable by maintaining a fast, reliable continuous integration environment and a clear, informative deployment pipeline.

• Learn from retrospectives and create tooling and process changes to help developers avoid outages in the future.
• Develop deployment processes and tools to ensure software gets to customers safely and efficiently.
• Improve onboarding by automating setup tasks, introducing engineers to key tools and processes, and accelerating their first successful deployment.
• Define and monitor key delivery metrics, and respond to major degradations or anomalies in service.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience as a software engineer or in a similar role.
• Strong proficiency in Python.
• Experience using Docker in production environments and for local development.
• Familiarity with continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) systems.
• A track record of customizing or building developer tooling.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
