About this role

Are you ready to redefine the future of JavaScript development? Are you a seasoned JavaScript expert who gets a thrill from tackling complex challenges across the entire JavaScript ecosystem? Do you believe that AI can be a powerful partner in crafting elegant, high-impact code? If you're ready to leave the mundane behind and join a team that's shaping the tools used by millions of developers globally, we've got an opportunity for you at Sentry.

This isn't your typical Senior Software Engineer position. As a key member of our growing JavaScript SDK team, you'll be at the forefront of innovation, working on everything from our cutting‑edge SDKs for the React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, Hono, NestJS, and beyond. You won't just be maintaining code; you'll be pushing the boundaries of what's possible in developer tooling across the full spectrum of the modern JavaScript framework landscape.

In this role you will

Join our JavaScript SDK team and get ready to build the future. You'll be at the forefront, working on:

• A Universe of JavaScript Challenges: Dive deep into our extensive suite of JavaScript SDKs, with a broad focus on framework support spanning the modern JS ecosystem — from frontend frameworks like React, Vue, and their meta-frameworks Next.js and Nuxt, to server‑side and edge runtimes like NestJS and Hono. Your work will directly empower millions of developers to build better, more reliable software, regardless of their framework of choice

• End‑to‑End Ownership: We believe in giving our engineers the autonomy to see their vision through. You'll have the freedom to plan, implement, and ship your code, from writing robust unit and integration tests to crafting crystal‑clear documentation that educates both our team and our customers.

• The AI‑Powered Developer Experience: We're committed to leveraging the latest advancements to work smarter, not harder. You'll utilize AI tools to supercharge your productivity and focus on what truly matters: solving complex problems and delivering exceptional value

• A Voice in the Open‑Source Community: We're passionate about open source — it's in our DNA. You'll have the chance to collaborate with influential organizations and committees such as TC39 and the OpenTelemetry SIG, representing Sentry and helping to steer the future of JavaScript standards.

• Direct Impact and Connection: Say goodbye to layers of bureaucracy. You'll be on the front lines, assisting our Customer Operations team to squash critical bugs and interacting directly with our vibrant user base on GitHub and at industry conferences

You'll love this role if you

• Are a craftsperson who takes immense pride in building features that are not only functional but a delight to use.

• Are a developer at heart, driven to create exceptional tools for your peers

• Thrive in a modern, fast‑paced environment where rapid iteration and shipping code are celebrated

• Are excited about contributing to a globally recognized open‑source project full‑time

• Flourish in a collaborative setting, surrounded by thoughtful engineers who inspire each other to new heights

Qualifications

• At least 5 years of experience as a Software Engineer, web developer, or a similar role

• Deep expertise in developing web applications, libraries, or SDKs using TypeScript/JavaScript

• Hands‑on experience with two or more modern JavaScript frameworks — such as React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, NestJS, or Hono — and a strong understanding of the differences in their rendering models, lifecycles, and runtime environments

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English

• You're based in San Francisco (Bay Area) or are excited about the prospect of relocating to this thriving tech hub

Bonus points for:

• Familiarity with edge runtimes, server components, or hybrid rendering patterns across multiple frameworks

• A history of contributing to or maintaining open‑source libraries

• Experience engaging with open‑source committees or working groups

If you're ready to make your mark on the developer world, work with cutting‑edge technology, and be a part of a company that's as invested in your growth as you are, we encourage you to apply.
