Senior Software Engineer, Visibility

About Sentry

We’re so much more than error monitoring software. We’re also performance monitoring software. Our platform helps every developer diagnose, fix, and optimize the performance of their code. With Sentry, developers around the world save time, energy, and probably a few therapy sessions.

Sentry supports more than 30 coding languages, which means it probably supports yours. We also integrate with a whole bunch of useful tools (and a few necessary evils), including but definitely not limited to GitHub, Slack, and Jira.

Position

The Visibility team’s mission is to make Sentry the place to understand the health of your application, find and prioritize investments and resources, and uncover insights to improve your overall performance.

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer on the Visibility team in Toronto, Canada, you will shape the experience of how we visualize our customers tracing and performance data. You will collaborate with other teams throughout the company to ensure that our customers can get to important, actionable data easier than before. Presenting new ideas to our technical steering committee, establishing ownership of a feature set and growing your technical skills are just a few of the activities you can expect from this role.

In this role you will:

• Partner with our design team and define the best approach to visualize insights into our customer’s products
• Collaborate with your team to define API contracts for new features
• Build tests for your code to maintain a high standard of quality for Sentry
• Write documentation to support new features with our technical writing staff
• Seek out improvements to the platform and drive initiatives to implement those improvements 
• Review code and mentor less-experienced engineers

Your qualification

You'll love this job if you:

• Desire to be the change you seek in the world, improve Sentry and use Sentry to make Sentry better. You are the target customer for the software you build, and you can influence what makes it into the product
• Tackle application performance issues that arises when our largest customers push Sentry to its limits: identify bottlenecks and optimize our application to improve user experience 
• Lead and participate in engineering discussions and initiatives to help take the team to the next level
• Enjoy customizing their shell and editor to the point where you cannot use the defaults
• Relish the idea of making small improvements to a tool that magnify into days of saved time across our customer base
