About Sentry
Software runs the world and the pace is faster than ever. Sentry helps developers fix errors and performance issues before users notice, so teams can spend less time firefighting and more time building.
Trusted by 200,000+ organizations, Sentry is today’s application monitoring standard and our team is building its AI-native future.
About the role
Software Engineering Interns at Sentry write real code on real projects that ship to production. No HackerRank. No fetch-the-coffee. Just you, a team that actually trusts you, and a codebase used by millions of developers every day, including the ones building the AI tools everyone's talking about.
In this role you will
Be matched with a Product or Infrastructure Engineering team based on what you're into and what you're good at
Own a project end-to-end, tech spec, scoping, implementation, testing, and shipping. The whole thing.
Write code that goes to production and matters to real users
Use AI tooling the way engineers actually use it, as part of the workflow, not a party trick
Get real feedback from engineers who care about craft, not just velocity
Contribute to open source every day (yes, really)
You’ll love this job if you
Want to be treated like an engineer, not "an intern"
Care about how software actually works
Are excited about where AI is taking software development and want to build in the middle of it
Want mentorship that's real, not scheduled
Like shipping things and seeing them used
Qualifications
Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program in Computer Science or a related field
Proficient in Python, JavaScript, or a similar dynamic language, picked up through internships, personal projects, or coursework
Solid grasp of algorithms and data structures fundamentals
Comfortable using GitHub: branching, pull requests, code review, the works
Experience collaborating on an engineering project with a team (class, open source, work, it counts)
Can pick up a new language or framework quickly and run with it
At least one previous internship or equivalent hands-on experience
Available to start May 2027 and able to relocate to San Francisco for the duration of the internship (we'll help get you there and cover housing)
