About the role

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Session Replay team, you’ll join a cross-functional team of engineers responsible for the functionality that lets Web and Mobile developers rewind and replay their users journey leading up to a bug. In this high-impact role, you’ll be building new capabilities that help developers understand the context in which their applications errors. Replays are connected to other context collected by Sentry, like errors, traces, user feedback, and feature flags to give developers all of the tools they need to debug a problem in one place.

In this role you will

• Build and maintain features for Session Replay, User Feedback and adjacent product areas using Python, Django and Rust.

• Lead high value initiatives and implement high quality features driving engineering excellence

• Work with product management and the larger engineering organization to define, implement and ship new features

• Maintain and expand functionality on backend services used by millions of developers

You’ll love this job if you

• Are a product-minded software engineer. You regard Product and Design as your peers, and you seek collaboration to create innovative workflows

• Relish the idea of making small improvements to a tool that magnifies into days of saved time across our customer base

• Take pride in building features that don't just work, but are also delightful to use

• Enjoy working with an open-source community that showcases your skills

Qualifications

• 8+ years professional engineering experience with a strong focus on backend and scalable systems

• Proficiency working with our tech stack (Python, Django, Kafka, ClickHouse, Postgres)

• Experience in rapidly iterating on proof-of-concept implementations to bring new product ideas to life

• Familiarity with Rust or other system-level programming language is a plus
