If you like to selfishly build things that make your digital life better, come help us build the next generation of software monitoring tools.

About the Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, Ingest, on our client infrastructure team, you'll join a cross-functional group of Software Engineers that is responsible for the client-facing operation of Sentry. This includes building and maintaining our event ingestion and processing pipeline, most notably Relay. This means you will be involved in the design and evolution of both external and internal services, as well as create new mission-critical software at Sentry.

• Collaborate with Infrastructure and Operations teams to build solutions that scale (we process over a billion events every day.)
• Write unit and integration tests that ensure the correctness of your work, as well as strong documentation to help educate both peers and customers.

You'll love this job if you:

• Take challenges that you don't see every day, daily.
• Care about writing highly performant, high-quality code.
• Want to build a product by developers for developers.
• Get excited about joining a modern software development team that iterates and ships code rapidly.
