About the role

Engineering organizations use Sentry to triage and debug production software issues and they want Sentry to be integrated with their internal tools or other SaaS apps (e.g. GitHub, Jira, Slack, etc). The Ecosystem team enables their use-cases by maintaining a suite of business-critical core integrations, and providing an integration platform for new apps to build against.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to lead the team.

In this role you will

• Build and maintain features/integrations with other SaaS services using Django (Python) and React (TypeScript) in our open-source codebase.
• Build and maintain API tooling and related services, and advocate for engineers across the company to adopt them in their teams.
• Design and implement scalable interfaces that can be reused within broad categories of SaaS apps (e.g. communication apps like Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams).
• Work closely with the Engineering Manager to help the team prioritize between parallel work streams.
• Propose innovative product features to enhance Sentry’s integration capabilities with other SaaS apps.
• Create engineering initiatives to empower the team to continually achieve higher standards of operational excellence.
• Build tests and set up monitoring for your work to maintain a high engineering standard for Sentry.
• Foster growth and raise the team’s technical aptitude through code review and mentorship.

You’ll love this job if you

• You are a product-minded software engineer. You regard Product and Design as your peers, and you seek collaboration to create a great product experience.
• You have good intuitions to recognize a great developer experience on the API layer and product layer, and you strive to make sure you are shipping features that raises that bar for us.
• You operate with a high level of ownership over the outcomes of your work, and you expect the same from your team.
• You have excellent organization skills and you can articulate priorities to the team. You understand the challenge of shipping new features while maintaining existing functionality, and you have found the balance between them in previous roles.
• You want to be the change you seek in the world of developer tooling. You recognize that you are the target user for Sentry, and you want to have an influence on the things that make it into the product.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• 2+ years of experience in leading software engineering teams to execute on projects in parallel.
• Bachelors Degree in Computer Science, or related field, and/or relevant experience.
• Strong experience with Django/Python (or similar frameworks and languages).
• Working experience with React/Typescript (or similar frameworks and languages) to be self-sufficient on simple changes.
