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 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
The Product Foundation team is divided into two specialized pods: Alerts and Ecosystem. The Alerts pod is responsible for Sentry's core alerting functionality, ensuring users are promptly notified about critical issues in their applications. The Ecosystem pod owns Sentry’s integrations with other SaaS tools, enhancing custom workflows for our users.
Additionally, the team maintains the foundational components of Sentry, including critical features like authentication, organization settings and configuration, and other essential building blocks of a SaaS product.
We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to join the team.
In this role you will
- Build and maintain features/integrations with other SaaS services using React (TypeScript) and 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?).
- Build tests and set up monitoring for your work to maintain a high engineering standard for Sentry.
- Foster growth and raise the team’s technical aptitude through code review and mentorship.
- Collaborate with technical writing staff to create user-focused documentation that supports new product features.
You’ll love this job if you
- You are a product-minded software engineer. You regard Product and Design as your peers, and you seek collaboration to create innovative workflows.
- You want to delve deeper than the application layer to understand the systems and services powering the APIs that you are using.
- You 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.
- You relish the idea of making small improvements to a tool that magnifies into days of saved time across our customer base.
- You want to be the change you seek in the world of developer tooling. You recognize that you are the target user for Sentry, and you want to have an influence on the things that make it into the product.
Qualifications
- 6+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- Bachelors Degree in Computer Science, or related field, and/or relevant experience.
- Strong experience with React/Typescript (or similar frameworks and languages).
- Working experience with Django/Python (or similar frameworks and languages) to be self-sufficient on simple changes.
The base salary range (or hourly wage range, if applicable) that Sentry reasonably expects to pay for this position is $175,000 to $199,000 CAD. A successful candidate’s actual base salary (or hourly wage) amount will be determined by a variety of relevant factors including, without limitation, the candidate’s work location, education, work and other relevant experience, skills, and job-related knowledge. A successful candidate will be eligible to participate in Sentry’s employee benefit plans/programs applicable to the candidate’s position (including incentive compensation, equity grants, paid time off, and group health insurance coverage).
