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 member of the Developer Productivity Team, you will be responsible for the delivery process and the overall developer experience. You will be supporting a growing engineering team while balancing factors such as process stability, artifact veracity, human interaction time and communication methodologies. You will also be helping new engineers get to their first production deployment quickly and be well-informed enough to repeat the process.

• Get excited by collaborating directly with your customers
