About the role

What You'll Do

  • Audit Sentry’s internal developer systems and make them API-ready for AI agents. Prioritize and drive exposing those systems programmatically, and build the connections that allow agents to operate on them end-to-end.
  • Build the harness tooling, context systems, and feedback loops that help agents generate high-quality, repository-aware pull requests, including automated pre-review checks and PR quality measurement tailored to Sentry’s codebase.
  • Automate high-volume, low-priority engineering work: security dependency upgrades, minor bug fixes, and routine maintenance, so engineers can focus on higher-value work.
  • Design and build internal tools that make engineering more effective: productivity dashboards, AI-assisted issue triage, CI/CD optimizations, and tooling that reduces toil.
  • Identify and remove organizational friction. Use data and direct observation to find where engineering is slowing down, recommend solutions to senior leadership, and build cross-team buy-in for changes.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Experience building tools or workflows that improve how developers or AI agents work. This could be CI/CD or dev infra experience, or it could be AI harness tooling, AI-first coding workflows, or public contributions in this space.
  • Strong software and system design fundamentals.
  • Genuine curiosity and hands-on experience with AI coding tools and agents. Prior machine learning experience isn’t required.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting to senior technical leadership.
  • A track record of driving cross-team technical initiatives to completion.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with large-scale distributed systems or monolith decomposition.
  • Prior work on developer experience or engineering productivity programs.
  • Familiarity with code review tooling, static analysis, or automated PR pipelines.

Compensation

Base salary range: $240,000 - $300,000. Eligible for incentive compensation, equity grants, paid time off, and group health insurance coverage.
