About the role
As a Software Engineer on Sentry’s Issues team, you’ll join a cross-functional team of engineers responsible for our most used product experience. This is a high-impact role; Errors and Issues are the main entry point for users to Sentry. We build and maintain features including: issue detection and search, error grouping, and issue workflows as well as status updates and many of their downstream effects. In this role you will also help define the future direction of a product that is loved by millions of developers worldwide.
Collaborating directly with other teams throughout the company, presenting to our backend technical steering committee, establishing ownership of a feature set and growing your technical skills are just a few of the other activities you can expect from this role.
In this role you will
- Build and maintain features/integrations with other SaaS services using Django (Python) in our open-source codebase.
- Have opportunities to work on high-impact projects that touch the entire stack: understanding the event ingestion pipeline; delving into search and storage systems; and surfacing that data to our customers on our backend and frontend codebases (did we mention that almost all of them are open-source?).
- Work closely with product management and the team to define, implement and ship new features.
- Build tests and set up monitoring for your work to maintain a high engineering standard for Sentry.
- Collaborate with technical writing staff to create user-focused documentation that supports new product features.
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 roll up your sleeves to dive into another team’s codebase to unblock yourself, making good, maintainable changes and earning the recognition of your counterparts.
- Relish the idea of making small improvements to a tool that magnifies into days of saved time across our customer base.
Qualifications
- 2+ years professional engineering experience.
- 1+ year of experience with Python and Django or similar web framework.
- Familiarity with Rust or other system-level programming language is a plus.
- Familiarity with TypeScript or JavaScript is a plus.
