Senior Developer Experience Engineer

Sentry helps developers fix errors and performance issues before users notice, so teams can spend less time firefighting and more time building. Trusted by 200,000+ organizations, Sentry is today’s application monitoring standard and our team is building its AI-native future.

The Developer Experience team is growing in San Francisco. This is a hybrid role out of our main headquarters and must be based there. We’re looking for a hands-on builder with strong opinions on great developer docs. Developer Experience at Sentry lives in the intersection of shipping really cool products and getting developers set up to use them. You’ll partner with Product and Engineering to test and ship the latest features, solve problems for our biggest customers, and have a good eye for what good docs looks like.

• Build content that gets people excited to build their software alongside Sentry

• Are an educator, a builder, and a human router
• Are a “meh… not bad” writer who understands how to tell a useful and relevant story in 30 words as well as weave together questions to panelists for 30 minutes
• Get excited when you hear that your job is to do ⅓ of each: Educating through useful and timely content + building community through live and virtual gatherings + Being customer-to-product influence
• Listen as much as you talk

• 5+ years as a developer and 3+ years in an advocacy or educational role such as developer relations/evangelism, creating technical content, leading a community of developers via forums or events
