Sentry's Coverage team is responsible for much of the data ingestion, processing, storage, and external notification pipelines for the Codecov product. The Coverage team's work is a mixture of internally and externally facing initiatives that are typically highly technical in nature.

- Foster the adoption of best practices, design patterns, and cutting-edge technologies to keep our systems competitive and innovative
- Engage with cross-functional teams, advocating for engineering needs and promoting a strong engineering culture
You'll love this job if you
- Have deep empathy for developers and a passion for helping to alleviate their pain points
- Thrive in cross-functional environments, partnering with team members from diverse backgrounds to deliver the best solutions possible
- Have strong technical leadership skills, with an ability to guide and influence a team towards common goals
Qualifications
-
- 7+ years of software development experience in designing, extending, and maintaining high-volume, mission-critical systems with a focus on performance and reliability
- 2 years minimum in a senior role, guiding junior engineers through mentorship, task delegation, and conducting code reviews
- Demonstrated success in contributing to a high-performing software engineering organization, valuing quality work and attention to detail
- Proficiency with Python, Django, Rust, and PostgreSQL is preferred, but not required
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
