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.

You will be planning and implementing the switch from our organically grown ingestion pipeline to one that is ready for a much larger Sentry.

If the idea of making a pipeline scale to millions of events a second brings a smile to your face, this could be the job for you.
In this role you will
- Improve the design of our ingestion pipeline and storage systems, ensuring that every engineer is able to build on top of it efficiently for new projects
- Learn from our retrospectives to improve our systems to help developers avoid outages in the future
- Help us break up a legacy Django monolith into smaller, dedicated services
- Understand how to make developers make the right decisions to ship fast but stable on a shared platform
- Have experience with distributed systems, but are looking for exposure to higher scale. We process hundreds of thousands of events/second — scaling on the storage team isn’t just “put a cache in front of it”
- Have a vigilant eye for the mixing of infrastructure and business logic concerns. We try to push business logic out of our team’s code and into the product
- Want opportunities to improve processes and the status quo. This team is created out of an operational need addressing some long accumulated tech debt and legacy code base
- 8+ years of relevant software engineering experience
- Proven track record of successfully scaling a platform, particularly in transitioning from a legacy monolith to a more adaptable service-oriented architecture
- Excellent written and oral communication skills and ability to articulate technical concepts clearly and succinctly
- Strong knowledge of replicated and/or distributed systems
- You have experience with some or all of the following systems we leverage:
- Disk-driven Storage Systems: PostgreSQL, ClickHouse
- Memory-driven Storage Systems: Memcached, Redis
- Streaming Platforms: Kafka, RabbitMQ
- Experience with Python or a similar dynamic programming language
- Experience with Rust, Go or a similar compiled programming language
