Senior Software Engineer (Android), SDK

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.

This is no ordinary engineering role. At Sentry, our Mobile SDK team creates the next generation of tools for developers worldwide, processing over a billion events every single day. We're looking for a talented Senior Android SDK Engineer to join our team of experts.

You'll dive deep into Android's most advanced technology, from powerful new APIs and Jetpack Compose to Android Framework fundamentals and going deep into bytecode if you dare to. If you love using cutting-edge tech to solve complex challenges, you've found your team.

As the owner of our Android SDK, you will guide its development from the core architecture to the final product experience. You'll pioneer exciting new features like Profiling, Session Replay and next-generation performance monitoring, all while mastering Android's latest innovations.

You will design robust, high-quality APIs built to handle massive scale, and you'll get to shape the overall vision for mobile at Sentry. Ultimately, you will be the go-to expert, helping our teams solve the most complex and interesting customer challenges.

We're looking for someone who is passionate about their craft and loves building elegant, intuitive tools that other developers are excited to use. You'll have the chance to contribute full-time to a major open-source project and see the immediate impact of your work in our fast-paced environment.

You will be surrounded by thoughtful, collaborative engineers who are dedicated to a culture of excellence, constantly pushing each other to learn, grow, and produce their best work.
