About the role

Staff Software Engineer leading engineering culture while developing financial tracking systems for Sentry. Architecting software to process billions of events efficiently with high reliability and accuracy.

Responsibilities

Architect and build the next generation of Sentry’s usage tracking pipeline, processing hundreds of billions of events daily with low latency and financial-grade accuracy.
