Bad software is everywhere, and were tired of it. Sentry is on a mission to help developers write better software faster, so we can get back to enjoying technology.

Youll also collaborate with other teams at Sentry to make sure our solutions scale, and resolve actual customer problems, and integrate with existing Sentry products.
