About Sentry

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 90,000 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. 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

Sentry is used by enterprise-level customers to empower their large engineering organizations to better triage and debug production software issues. Those customers have needs that go beyond smaller customers: accounts with 1000+ users and projects, sensitive data privacy/security needs, international data storage regulations and strong requirements around auditing and access control.

As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer on the Enterprise team, you will ensure that Sentry will work well for our enterprise-level customers. We built a suite of features to help admins onboard their company, manage their teams' workflow, and see the value that their engineering organization is getting from Sentry. You will work on product-focused projects that will be useful for these customers (e.g. project health analysis, detecting bad canary releases) alongside PMs and designers.

In this role you will

Scope, plan, and own the backend implementation for features or tools that will make Sentry better for all of our largest customers in our open-source codebase
Design and build intuitive and robust APIs used by frontend engineers and/or customers
Own the engineering quality for the team’s critical services, especially the APIs that are used for provisioning at scale
Have opportunities to work on high-impact projects that touch the entire stack: from multi-region deployments; across the entire event ingestion pipeline; delving into search and storage systems; and surfacing that data to our customers with our backend and frontend codebases (did we mention that they are open-source?)
Collaborate with stakeholders across the company including engineering, product, sales, and marketing to launch new features
Review code and mentor less-experienced engineers to help them grow
Build tests for your code to maintain a high standard of quality for Sentry
Set up monitoring and alerting to ensure application health and uptime
Write documentation to support new features with our technical writing staff
