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 across our global hubs, 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

This is a founding Technical Account Executive hybrid role in a strategic region. You’ll be the first sales hire on the ground, with the opportunity to help define our regional strategy, establish our go-to-market motion, and build Sentry’s presence from the ground up.

You won’t be starting from scratch. The region already includes high-impact, globally recognized customers such as Canva, Coles Supermarkets, Air New Zealand, and Leonardo.Ai, providing a strong foundation and immediate opportunities for meaningful expansion, standardization, and long-term partnership. You’ll own and grow relationships with engineering leaders and platform teams at these companies while helping turn early traction into a repeatable, scalable motion.

This role requires a high degree of autonomy, ownership, and self-direction. You’ll operate as a trusted advisor to customers, a strategic partner internally, and a builder who enjoys shaping processes, influencing product feedback, and creating momentum where none existed before. As the region grows, this role offers a clear path to leading and scaling the regional team.

In this role you will

Qualifications

• Experience: 5+ years selling SaaS/B2B solutions with a track record of exceeding quota and delivering technical value. (Has combined AE/SE, presales, solutions engineering, or developer-facing experience).

• Hands-On Skills: Experience building or demoing technical solutions, writing example integrations, or working directly with engineering teams.

• Communication: Excellent at presenting, storytelling, and translating complex technical ideas for varied audiences.

• Team Player: Loves collaborating across Product, Marketing, Customer Success, and Support to move prospects and customers forward
