About the role
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.
About The Role Sentry is seeking a highly technical, developer-focused Senior Product Designer to join our team in Toronto. Your designs will help developers ship higher quality and more performant apps with confidence. You’ll collaborate closely with a senior team of product managers, engineers, and designers to create product experiences that set us apart.
This role is highly technical and requires a deep understanding of common developer workflows. Developers turned designers, take note: if you've got domain experience and can talk frontend and backend, from application down to the function, this may be the role for you.
We’re a small but mighty team with experience at Gusto, Square, GitHub, and more. We’re serious about solving tough problems, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
In this role you will
- Have a huge impact by designing core improvements to the largest and most popular parts of Sentry.
- Collaborate closely with a tight-knit group of designers that meet weekly to share work, thoughts, opinions and general rantings.
- Contribute to our component library and design documentation.
- Help developers across the globe be more efficient by maximizing signal and limiting noise.
- Be instrumental in creating a consistent look and feel throughout our products.
- Help define systems to enable our design and frontend teams to be more efficient and collaborative.
You’ll love this job if you
- Love making the lives of engineers and fellow designers easier.
- Enjoy working cross-functionally and building out features alongside developers and product teams.
- Respect the value of design constraints but enjoy pushing their limits.
- Are a strong advocate for UX, UI and visual design.
- Are passionate about open source and wouldn't mind more green boxes on your contribution graph.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of product design experience, or a portfolio that demonstrates equivalent expertise**(a link to a portfolio or relevant work is required)**.
- Frontend experience with HTML/CSS and an understanding of web design principles.
- Strong visual design skills and attention to detail.
- Experience conducting user interviews and interpreting findings.
- Expert with Figma or other modern design tools.
- Ability to simplify complex workflows into intuitive experiences.
- Bonus: Familiarity with JavaScript frameworks like React or templating engines.
- Bonus: Active GitHub profile and/or open-source contributions.
- Bonus: Experience with SVG, especially for data visualization.
- Bonus: Experience using version control (e.g., Git).
- You’ve designed and built tools as part of a small team.
- You understand developer workflows—and what frustrates them.
- You struggle to decide whether you're more of an engineer or a designer on LinkedIn.
The base salary range Sentry reasonably expects to pay for this role is $155,000 to $210,000. Final compensation will depend on factors including location, skills, experience, and role alignment.
You’ll also be eligible for incentive compensation, equity, paid time off, and benefits including group health insurance. Learn more at Sentry Benefits.
