Senior Product Designer job at Sentry

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 90,000 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. 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

As a Senior Product Designer for the Performance team, you'll be a driving force in leveling up our core Performance monitoring experience. Your designs will play a crucial role in helping developers spot problems that are not necessarily errors, but still negatively impact the user experience.

This design role is highly technical and requires an 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 are a small but mighty team of designers from companies such as PagerDuty, Gusto, Square, GitHub, and more. Sure, we're an elite squad of problem solvers and dot connectors, but we don't let that go to our heads.

In this role you will

Have a huge impact by designing core improvements to the largest and most popular parts of Sentry
Co-lead a team with Product Managers and Engineering Managers
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
Contribute to our component library and design documentation

You’ll love this job if you

Love making the lives of engineers and/or your 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 can trick us into believing so (a link to a portfolio or relevant work is required)
Frontend experience with HTML/CSS and an understanding of how to design for the web
Impeccable taste and knack for attention to detail
Experience with conducting user interviews and parsing results
Experience with Figma or other modern design tools
Experience with reducing complex concepts into approachable workflows
Bonus: Familiarity with Javascript frameworks like React or experience with templating engines
Bonus: An active GitHub profile and/or contributions to open source projects
Bonus: Experience with SVG, specifically for data visualization
Bonus: Experience with version control
You've designed and built tools apart of small teams in the past
You are familiar with the developer process and workflow, and what annoys them
Struggle with identifying as an Engineer or a Designer on your LinkedIn profile
