Bad software is everywhere, and we’re tired of it. Sentry is on a mission to help developers write better software faster so we can get back to enjoying technology.

With more than $217 million in funding and 100,000+ organizations that believe we’re on to something, we're building performance and error monitoring tools that help companies like Disney, Microsoft, and Atlassian spend less time fixing bugs and more time building products.

Sentry embraces a hybrid work model, with Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays set as in-office anchor days to encourage meaningful collaboration. If you like to selfishly build things that make your digital life better, come help us build the next generation of software monitoring tools.

About the Role

As a Software Engineer on Sentry’s Issues team, you’ll join a cross-functional team of engineers responsible for our most used product experience. This is a high-impact role; Errors and Issues are the main entry point for users to Sentry. We build and maintain features including: issue detection and search, error grouping, and issue workflows as well as status updates and many of their downstream effects. In this role you will also help define the future direction of a product that is loved by millions of developers worldwide.

Collaborating directly with other teams throughout the company, presenting to our backend technical steering committee, establishing ownership of a feature set and growing your technical skills are just a few of the other activities you can expect from this role.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain features/integrations with other SaaS services using Django (Python) in our open-source codebase.
• Have opportunities to work on high-impact projects that touch the entire stack: understanding the event ingestion pipeline; delving into search and storage systems; and surfacing that data to our customers on our backend and frontend codebases (did we mention that almost all of them are open-source?).
• Work closely with product management and the team to define, implement and ship new features.
• Build tests and set up monitoring for your work to maintain a high engineering standard for Sentry.
• Collaborate with technical writing staff to create user-focused documentation that supports new product features.

Requirements

• 2+ years professional engineering experience.
• 1+ year of experience with Python and Django or similar web framework.
• Familiarity with Rust or other system-level programming language is a plus.
• Familiarity with TypeScript or JavaScript is a plus.
