About the role

  • 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.
  • Sentry embraces a hybrid work model, with Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays set as in-office anchor days to encourage meaningful collaboration.
  • About the role: Sentry provides a suite of services to help developers identify and resolve issues in their applications. These tools are mission-critical for companies that need to move quickly without sacrificing stability. We strive to make the development and deployment of these tools safe, efficient, and even enjoyable by maintaining a fast, reliable continuous integration environment and a clear, informative deployment pipeline.
  • As a member of the Developer Infrastructure team, you’ll be responsible for improving the delivery process and overall developer experience at Sentry. You’ll support a growing engineering organization by balancing factors like process stability, artifact reliability, developer efficiency, and effective communication. You’ll also help new engineers ramp up quickly, guiding them to their first production deployment and equipping them to contribute with confidence.
  • If the idea of crafting tools for other engineers excites you, we’d love to meet you.
  • In this role, you will:
  • Optimize and scale Sentry’s delivery process, ensuring engineers can ship high-quality code quickly and confidently.
  • Learn from our retrospectives and create tooling and process change to help developers avoid outages in the future.
  • Develop deployment processes and tools to ensure our software gets to customers safely and efficiently.
  • Improve onboarding by automating setup tasks, introducing engineers to key tools and processes, and accelerating their first successful deployment.
  • Define and monitor key delivery metrics, and respond to any major degradation or anomalies in service.
  • You’ll thrive in this role if you:
  • Enjoy customizing your tools to improve your workflow.
  • Believe that automating repetitive tasks improves both speed and consistency.
  • Are excited to collaborate directly with engineers and gather feedback to improve their experience.
  • Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of experience as a software engineer or in a similar role.
  • Strong proficiency in Python.
  • Experience using Docker in production environments and for local development.
  • Familiarity with continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) systems.
  • A track record of customizing or building developer tooling.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Not sure if you meet 100% of the qualifications? We encourage you to apply anyway. We're interested in people who are excited about this opportunity and eager to grow.
  • The base salary range (or hourly wage range, if applicable) that Sentry reasonably expects to pay for this position is $180,000 to $280,000. A successful candidate’s actual base salary ... 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).
