Job description

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 Senior Software Engineer on the Traces & Explore Team at Sentry, you’ll join the group responsible for the continued growth of Sentry’s core tracing, debugging and application performance experience. The Traces team is focused on providing powerful views into tracing and performance telemetry with the goal of giving users a clear debugging workflow from problem identification through to remediation.

The Traces & Explore products are built upon the technology from other teams within Sentry providing opportunities to collaborate with other teams and explore the entirety of Sentry’s codebase and infrastructure.

In this role you will

• Build and maintain features for Explore , Trace View and adjacent product areas using Python, Django, React, TypeScript and Rust
• Develop an understanding of the entire Sentry stack and contribute to changes across the codebase
• Work closely with Product Management, Design and Engineering Leadership to define, implement and ship new features
• Raise technical expertise within the organization through collaboration, mentorship, pairing and code reviews

You’ll love this job if you

• Are a product-minded software engineer. You regard Product and Design as your peers, and you seek collaboration to create innovative workflows
• Are highly detail oriented but know how to make pragmatic tradeoffs to deliver impact quickly
• Are excited to leverage your diverse skillset and dive into another team’s codebase to unblock yourself, making good, maintainable changes and earning the trust and recognition of your peers
• Love to collaborate with peers, driving for alignment and leading technical initiatives that span multiple teams

Qualifications

• 8+ years professional engineering experience
• Experience owning the end-to-end delivery and long-term support of large product features
• Experience mentoring other engineers and leading groups of engineers in the technical execution of large projects
• Familiarity with Rust or other system-level programming language is a plus
• Experience designing, deploying and maintaining infrastructure is a plus
