About The Role
The Engineering Operations team is responsible for the deployment, configuration, maintenance and monitoring of Sentry's hosted platform. We do this by leveraging automation tools to automatically spin up and scale services to meet the traffic demands of 1,000,000 developers.

- You've seen networks make and break hosted solutions, and have direct experience with growing and maintaining distributed systems.
