Issue Workflow is Sentry's primary product surface. Our issue platform processes billions events daily and turns them into actionable insights that help millions of developers fix bugs faster.
What you'll do
Drive technical strategy and roadmap. Partner with engineering leadership,: product, and design to shape the multi-quarter technical vision for Issue Workflow platform. Make strategic calls about architectural direction, technology choices, and technical debt. Ensure the team is building a strong foundation to scale with Sentry's growth.
Solve complex performance and scalability challenges.
Champion product quality and user experience. Build features that don't just: work—they delight. You understand that milliseconds matter in the developer experience. You sweat the details of interfaces, error messages, loading states, and edge cases. You instrument everything so the team can measure and improve.
Mentor and elevate others . You've helped engineers grow their skills. You: celebrate wins and learn from failures alongside your teammates.
Are a distributed systems engineer who understands the realities of: high-scale architectures. You know about eventual consistency, partitioning strategies, caching layers, and query optimization. You've debugged enough systems at scale that you now know to design for failure and build systems that degrade gracefully.
Are product-minded and understand that great engineering serves users. You: collaborate effectively with Product and Design, offering technical perspectives that shape better products. You can explain technical constraints in user-centric terms. You get excited about making developers' lives better, not just solving technical puzzles.
