Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure

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 across our global hubs, 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

Sentry.io provides a suite of services to diagnose health problems in their customer's applications. These tools are mission-critical to companies who want to respond effectively in fast-paced markets. We make the development and deployment of these tools a safe and enjoyable experience, by maintaining a succinct and helpful continuous integration environment and an informative deployment pipeline.

As an Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll help deliver on our mission: We build the infrastructure that powers Sentry’s growth and enables engineering teams to move fast with confidence.

In this role, you’ll design, build, and maintain internal software and platform capabilities that reduce the cognitive load of infrastructure and developer tooling. You’ll create reliable, repeatable abstractions that help engineering teams ship quickly while embedding durability, security, and operational excellence into how services are built and run.

This work requires strong engineering judgment: choosing dependable technologies, building for scale early, and delivering solutions that support many teams—not just one. You’ll focus on pragmatic systems that improve reliability and ownership across the organization, and you’ll drive adoption through excellent documentation, thoughtful APIs, and developer experience that fits seamlessly into daily workflows.

Ultimately, you’ll empower engineering teams to thrive in a “you-build-it-you-run-it” culture—helping them deploy, operate, and evolve services with confidence while minimizing operational overhead.

In This Role, You Will

• Design systems that scale with company growth, balancing reliability, performance, and cost.

• Build platform services and interfaces that enable self-service workflows for engineering teams.

• Collaborate with other engineering teams to enhance solutions tailored to their needs.

• Provide comprehensive documentation, training, and support for effective adoption tools.

• Continuously assess and enhance capabilities based on user feedback and emerging technologies.

• Monitor and troubleshoot issues to maintain solution availability.

You’ll Love This Job If You

• Love building things that make all of engineering better.

• Enjoy taking complex infrastructure problems and turning them into simple, reliable workflows.

• Care deeply about reliability, consistency, and reducing operational burden.

• Get energized by collaborating directly with your internal customers and iterating based on feedback.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer or similar role.

• Strong proficiency with Python; experience with Rust is a plus.

• Expertise in designing and building scalable systems and APIs and distributed systems.

• Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and their SDKs/APIs.

• Proficiency with containerization and orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).

• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.

• Knowledge of distributed systems design.
