Job Description
New grads at Sentry write real code on real projects that ship to production.

In this role you will
- Work across Product or Infrastructure Engineering, depending on team match

- Own the full software development lifecycle, design, development, testing, and operating in production
- Communicate effectively with engineers on your team, engineers on other teams, and stakeholders like product managers
- Act on feedback, coaching, and mentorship from your manager and teammates

- Want to actively use the product you’re building (we dogfood Sentry every day)
- Want to start your career at a fast-paced startup, not spend it ramping slowly at a big one
- Want to join a modern software development team that iterates and ships code rapidly

- Want your work to have a direct impact on how developers find and fix bugs, at massive scale
