About the position
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.
Responsibilities
- 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.
Requirements
- 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.
Nice-to-haves
- Familiarity with JavaScript frameworks like React or templating engines.
- Active GitHub profile and/or open-source contributions.
- Experience with SVG, especially for data visualization.
- 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.
Benefits

- Incentive compensation.
- Equity.
- Paid time off.
- Group health insurance.
