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 build things that make your digital life better, come help us develop the next generation of software monitoring tools.

About the role

This includes building and maintaining our SDKs used to send events to the Sentry backend. You will also be involved in designing and evolving the APIs used to ingest events into the backend.

In this role you will

• Collaborate with Infrastructure and SRE teams to build scalable solutions (we ingest over a billion events daily)
• Work on the Next.js SDK, among others, used by thousands of Next.js developers
• Plan, implement, and ship your code end-to-end—including unit and integration tests, and comprehensive documentation to educate peers and customers
• Assist Customer Operations in resolving live customer issues caused by SDK bugs in production

You’ll love this job if you

• Take pride in building features that are not only functional but also delightful to use
• Want to build a product by developers, for developers
• Enjoy working in a modern software development team that iterates and ships code rapidly
• Are excited about contributing to open source full-time—our product is entirely open source
• Value working with collaborative, thoughtful engineers who push themselves and others
• Love interacting with users—via GitHub or in-person at conferences

Qualifications

• 5+ years as a Software Engineer or related role (e.g., web developer, SDK engineer)
• Experience with Next.js
• Bonus: experience in open source committees or maintaining open source libraries
• Strong written and spoken English communication skills
• Reside in Toronto, Canada, or willing to relocate

The base salary range for this position is CAD $185,000 to $211,000. Actual compensation will depend on various factors, including experience, skills, and location. Successful candidates will be eligible for benefits including incentive compensation, equity, paid time off, and health insurance. See Sentry Benefits for more details.
