Software Engineer (Streaming Platform)

Join Sentry's Streaming Platform team as a Software Engineer. You'll work on building the next generation of infrastructure for our ingestion pipelines and real-time data processing systems. Your responsibilities will include designing, building, and operating components of our Streaming Platform, implementing resilient stream processing systems, and improving observability and monitoring for mission-critical real-time systems. You'll have the opportunity to work on challenges at the intersection of distributed systems, real-time data processing, and developer experience.

• Design, build, and operate components of the Streaming Platform, including Kafka, the streaming runtime, high-level APIs, and developer-facing abstractions.
• Implement resilient, high-throughput stream processing systems that handle unbounded datasets with strong correctness guarantees.
• Partner with product engineers to ensure our abstractions enable fast, reliable, and consistent ingestion pipelines.

• Experience building and operating systems in cloud environments such as Kubernetes, AWS, or GCP
• Nice to have: experience with streaming technologies such as Kafka, Flink, Spark Streaming, or similar tools
• Proficiency in a programming language such as Python, Rust, Go, or Java (we primarily use Python and Rust, but experience in similar languages is valuable)
• At least 2-3 years of software engineering experience, with background in distributed systems, data infrastructure, or real-time streaming
