About Sentry

Bad software is everywhere, and we’re tired of it. Sentry is on a mission to help developers write better software faster so we can get back to enjoying technology.

With more than $217 million in funding and 100,000+ organizations that believe we’re on to something, we're building performance and error monitoring tools that help companies like Disney, Microsoft, and Atlassian spend less time fixing bugs and more time building products.

Sentry embraces a hybrid work model, with Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays set as in-office anchor days to encourage meaningful collaboration. If you like to selfishly build things that make your digital life better, come help us build the next generation of software monitoring tools.

Sentry.io provides a suite of tools that help developers monitor and improve the health of their applications. These tools are mission-critical for teams that need to move quickly and respond effectively in dynamic environments. We aim to make the development and deployment of these tools reliable, safe, and even enjoyable through a thoughtful CI environment and a transparent, informative deployment pipeline.

As a Senior Platform Engineer on the Infrastructure team, you'll design, build, and maintain internal software systems that power our development workflows. Your work will focus on abstracting away infrastructure complexity, enabling faster development cycles, embedding reliability and security into our platform, and making it easier for product teams to ship confidently. You’ll design scalable, future-proof systems and play a key role in driving adoption through well-written documentation, training, and support.
