About The Position

Sentry.io provides a suite of services to diagnose health problems in their customer's applications. These tools are mission-critical to companies who want to respond effectively in fast-paced markets. We make the development and deployment of these tools a safe and enjoyable experience, by maintaining a succinct and helpful continuous integration environment and an informative deployment pipeline. As an engineer on the Infrastructure Engineering team, you’ll help deliver on our mission: We build the infrastructure that powers Sentry's growth and enables engineering teams to move fast with confidence. In this role, you’ll design, build, and maintain internal software and platform capabilities that reduce the cognitive load of infrastructure and developer tooling. You’ll create reliable, repeatable abstractions that help engineering teams ship quickly while embedding durability, security, and operational excellence into how services are built and run. This work requires strong engineering judgment: choosing dependable technologies, building for scale early, and delivering solutions that support many teams—not just one. You’ll focus on pragmatic systems that improve reliability and ownership across the organization, and you’ll drive adoption through excellent documentation, thoughtful APIs, and developer experience that fits seamlessly into daily workflows. Ultimately, you’ll empower engineering teams to thrive in a “you-build-it-you-run-it” culture—helping them deploy, operate, and evolve services with confidence while minimizing operational overhead.
