Senior Software Engineer

About the role

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Billing team you’ll be responsible for ensuring that Sentry is well paid for the services that we provide. We’re a small team with a lot of scope and tons of room for ownership and growth.

Our team owns the end to end experience that guarantees we can get paid for the services we provide. This starts from the beginning of the purchase journey including checkout flows, pricing plans, and payment processing via 3rd party services. We tally our customer’s usage (super high scale!), provide features to manage/visualize/notify quota usage, and internal platforms to support experimentation with pricing or promotions. Finally we ensure billing transparency by generating detailed usage reports and invoices.

We’re also closely involved in major strategic initiatives the company is pursuing: launching new product lines, federating billing across acquired platforms, etc.

In this role you will

• Work cross functionally to launch new products and incorporate new product lines into the Sentry suite (like Codecov)
• Make our billing platform better for our customers (with features like grace periods, quota warnings, and spike protection)
• Partner with our BizOps teams to grow our billing system alongside our business (international sales taxes, ACH payments, 3DS support, partner integrations)
• Drive new revenue by optimizing our checkout and upgrade experiences, experimenting with pricing packaging, and promotions
• Contribute to both the open source and proprietary Sentry applications in Python, ReactJS, Postgres, Kafka, Redis, etc

You’ll love this job if you

• Are a business focused engineer who likes understanding how financial aspects of a company works
• Like to come up with engineering solutions to big and complex business problems
• Understand the difference between fixed and floating point math
• Like working in a well-tested codebase

Qualifications

• 8+ years professional engineering experience
• Experience mentoring and directing teams in a fast-paced development environment
• You are comfortable developing on both the frontend and backend (we use Python, Django, React, and Typescript)
• Experience in building large scale user facing web applications
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and ability to articulate technical concepts clearly and succinctly
