Senior Software Engineer

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.

About The Role
As a Senior Software Engineer, Native, on our client infrastructure (SDK) 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 SDK libraries, extending our existing native integrations, and building new integrations for Gaming Consoles. 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.

If you want to build and improve product features that empower software development teams to do their best work, all while writing open source code, this could be the role for you.

• Work in the Game Dev Experience (GDX) team to improve and evolve our native, game engine and console products
• Puzzle over unique challenges in the fields of compilers, debugging, operating system internals, low-level optimization, and distributed systems
• Use a variety of programming languages, systems, and technologies to own and solve problems related to mission critical software of Sentry (C and C++ — but also Rust, Python, .NET and JavaScript)
• 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 pride in building features that don't just work, but are also delightful to use
• Like to take challenges that you don't see every day, daily
• Care about writing highly performant code
• Build a product by developers for developers
• Join a modern software development team that iterates and ships code rapidly
• Contribute to open source full-time — our product is entirely Open Source
• Work with collaborative, thoughtful engineers who push themselves and others to do better

Qualifications

• 5+ years relevant experience
• Experience in writing high performance native server, desktop-applications or libraries
• Experience in programming languages such as C and C++
• Bonus points for experience with Game engines (Unreal, Unity, Godot) or Gaming Consoles (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch) and other programming languages (Rust, .NET)
• Good written and spoken English communication skills
• Live in the Vienna, Austria area or are willing to relocate
