About the role

New grads at Sentry write real code on real projects that ship to production. Engineers here get to solve a genuine range of technical problems: building fast, delightful UIs for navigating millions of errors and traces, and architecting solutions that ingest, store, and index terabytes of data every single day. As a Software Engineer, New Grad, you'll be coached by a diverse team of engineers, and you'll have a direct hand in a codebase that's complex, growing, and shipping constantly.

In this role you will

• Work across Product or Infrastructure Engineering, depending on team match
• Build with the stack your team uses: TypeScript, React, Python, and Django on the product side; Python, Rust, Kafka, ClickHouse, and Kubernetes on the infra side
• 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

You'll love this job if you

• 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 to help build Seer, Sentry's AI agent that root-causes bugs, writes fixes, and reviews PRs before they break prod
• Want your work to have a direct impact on how developers find and fix bugs, at massive scale

Qualifications

• B.S. or higher in Computer Science (or similar degree program)
• At least 1 previous internship or equivalent practical experience
• Implementation skills with one or more general-purpose programming languages, e.g. Python, JavaScript, Java, etc.
• Good knowledge of algorithms, data structures, and object-oriented design principles
• Experience working with version control and unit testing
