Software Engineer, Intern (Summer 2027)

About Sentry

Software runs the world and the pace is faster than ever. Sentry helps developers fix errors and performance issues before users notice, so teams can spend less time firefighting and more time building.

Trusted by 200,000+ organizations, Sentry is today’s application monitoring standard and our team is building its AI-native future.

About the role

Software Engineering Interns at Sentry write real code on real projects that ship to production. No HackerRank. No fetch-the-coffee. Just you, a team that actually trusts you, and a codebase used by millions of developers every day, including the ones building the AI tools everyone's talking about.

In this role you will

• Be matched with a Product or Infrastructure Engineering team based on what you're into and what you're good at
• Own a project end-to-end, tech spec, scoping, implementation, testing, and shipping. The whole thing.
• Write code that goes to production and matters to real users
• Use AI tooling the way engineers actually use it, as part of the workflow, not a party trick
• Get real feedback from engineers who care about craft, not just velocity
• Contribute to open source every day (yes, really)

You’ll love this job if you

• Want to be treated like an engineer, not "an intern"
• Care about how software actually works
• Are excited about where AI is taking software development and want to build in the middle of it
• Want mentorship that's real, not scheduled
• Like shipping things and seeing them used

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program in Computer Science or a related field
• Proficient in Python, JavaScript, or a similar dynamic language, picked up through internships, personal projects, or coursework
• Solid grasp of algorithms and data structures fundamentals
• Comfortable using GitHub: branching, pull requests, code review, the works
• Experience collaborating on an engineering project with a team (class, open source, work, it counts)
• Can pick up a new language or framework quickly and run with it
• At least one previous internship or equivalent hands-on experience
• Available to start May 2027 and able to relocate to San Francisco for the duration of the internship (we'll help get you there and cover housing)

The base salary range (or hourly wage range, if applicable) that Sentry reasonably expects to pay for this position is $53.13 per hour. A successful candidate will be eligible to participate in Sentry’s employee benefit and perks programs applicable to the candidate’s position (including medical, dental and vision insurance coverage as well as temporary relocation support).
