Software Engineer, Search & Storage

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

As a Software Engineer, you'll lead efforts to bring Sentry into a new age of data visibility. You’ll do this by expanding the capabilities of our search infrastructure, developing new solutions based on our state of the art storage and increasing the performance and integrity of Sentry’s core data services.
