Data Engineering Intern

About Sentry

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, 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.

Data Engineering at Sentry builds and scales the infrastructure that powers our analytics, product insights, and operational decision-making. We design data pipelines, manage large-scale processing systems, and ensure that our teams can access reliable, high-quality data. We work closely with Business Intelligence, Product, and Engineering to provide the foundation for data-driven decisions.

• Write efficient Python and SQL code to process, transform, and analyze large datasets

• Partner with Data Engineering and Business Intelligence teams to ensure data quality, consistency, and availability across the company

• Support initiatives to improve the scalability, monitoring, and reliability of our data infrastructure

You’ll love this job if you

• You get excited about building systems that move and process large volumes of data efficiently

• You are curious about how raw data becomes insights and want to contribute to the foundation that makes analytics possible

• You are a self-starter who enjoys ownership, problem-solving, and learning new technologies

• You are energized by working in a dynamic environment where priorities evolve as the company grows

Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree, graduating in 2027 or later, in computer science, data engineering, or a related technical discipline, with a 3.0 minimum GPA or equivalent
