Job Description
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 across our global hubs, 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
At Sentry, support is an engineering discipline. Our customers are developers building the future of software, and they deserve answers that go deeper than a knowledge base link. We are redefining the standard of technical support by combining deep human expertise with advanced AI agents. We need you to not just solve complex technical issues, but to help us improve the systems that help us scale that expertise to millions of developers.
Sentry Support Engineers don't just clear queues; they are orchestrators. You will engage with our users across GitHub, Discord, and our support systems, investigate complex technical issues while also acting as the product owner for our AI Agents.
We’re looking for someone who is passionate about both customer experience and the cutting edge of Agentic Operations.
IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL
Master the Sentry Ecosystem
- Become a Platform Expert: Develop deep authority on Sentry’s features to guide customers through complex debugging workflows
- Resolve Technical Inquiries: Answer inbound support requests with a focus on teaching and enabling developers, not just closing tickets
- Troubleshoot SDK Implementations: Go beyond the UI to help developers instrument Sentry’s SDKs within their specific codebases and frameworks
- Manage Bugs & Escalations: Triage and reproduce product bugs, serving as the bridge between customers and our Engineering teams
Pioneer AI-First Support
- Train our AI Agents: Manage the performance of our support bots (Triage, Billing, and Technical), ensuring they provide accurate, high-quality assistance
- Curate "AI-Ready" Knowledge: Write and structure documentation specifically optimized for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), ensuring our AI can easily find and use the right information
- Design Human-in-the-Loop Flows: Define the logic for when an AI should hand off to a human, ensuring context is preserved so customers never have to repeat themselves
- Monitor & Refine: Review AI responses for accuracy or hallucinations, creating examples of "perfect answers" to continuously fine-tune the model’s performance
- Handle Complex "Edge Cases": Step in as the expert for gray-area technical issues where AI reaches its limit
- Drive Automation Strategy: Focus on solving problems at the source—building systems and content that resolve issues before a human ever needs to intervene
YOU’LL LOVE THIS JOB IF YOU
- Are Tenacious: You’ll thrive here if complex, “this makes no sense” tickets energize you — and you don’t stop until you’ve traced the issue, found the signal in the noise, and driven it to resolution
- Are a Developer Advocate: You have a passion for developer tools and want to guide the industry on how AI and Humans co-exist in a technical ecosystem
- Are Results-Driven: You aren't satisfied with "closing tickets"—you want to build a system that scales infinitely
- Are an AI Tinkerer: You can’t resist trying the latest AI tools, hacking together clever workflows, and asking “what if we automated this?”
QUALIFICATIONS
- 4+ years of experience in technical support or engineering, with a track record of solving high-complexity SaaS problems
- Strong Coding Foundations: Proficiency in Python, JavaScript, or Ruby. You should be comfortable reading SDK source code and reproducing bugs
- Modern Dev Stack Knowledge: Deep understanding of CI/CD, APIs, microservices, and observability/monitoring
- AI Literacy: Practical familiarity with the AI stack eg. you understand how RAG works.
- Exceptional Communication: You speak both “user” and “developer” fluently — simplifying complexity for customers and turning vision into build-ready specs
BONUS QUALIFICATIONS
- AI Ops Experience: Prior experience fine-tuning LLMs for production use
- Open Source Contributor: Active presence on GitHub or experience maintaining open-source repositories
