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. 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

Business Operations works across all teams at Sentry to drive and enable the growth of our company. We lead mission critical — cross-functional efforts, deliver objective analysis and insights, incubate new ideas, and execute on strategic initiatives. We stay focused on aligning the highest-level company priorities with effective day-to-day operations, and help evolve early stage ideas into future-growth initiatives.

As an intern on the Business Intelligence team, we’re looking for someone who thrives in uncertainty and is excited to help drive data-driven decisions. You might work on a variety of data projects, from running analysis to supporting the setup of dashboards. Whatever the focus, you'll contribute to key projects that make an impact at Sentry.

In this role you will

  • Partner with stakeholder teams on detailed analysis, identifying trends, patterns, and insights informing key business decisions
  • Partner with existing members of Business Intelligence and Data Engineering on projects that will shape how we develop our BI layer and scale our BI reporting
  • Simplify and automate reporting; build solutions to have maximum scale and self-service ability by stakeholders
  • Collaborate with different teams (such as Product, Sales, and Finance) to support their data needs and help identify key insights

You’ll love this job if you

  • Feel passionate about making sense out of numbers and sharing them with a broader audience
  • Are a self sufficient do-er: someone who enjoys ownership and can proactively and effectively work cross-functionally to make progress
  • Are comfortable with the pace and dynamic environment of our actively growing business
  • Have flexibility in both thinking and working: when the current path is blocked, you find a way through or around it

Qualifications

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree, graduating in 2026 or later, in fields such as business analytics, statistics, data science, or a related quantitative discipline with a focus on data, with a 3.0 minimum GPA or equivalent
  • Experience with modern analytics tools such as Looker, Tableau, etc.
  • Experience with SQL and relational databases including queries
  • Understanding of data visualization principles to help simplify complex data and communicate key insights effectively.
  • The ideal candidate has the ability to communicate clearly and professionally, with the competence to educate and collaborate with non-technical to superbly-technical audience

The base salary range (or hourly wage range, if applicable) that Sentry reasonably expects to pay for this position is $38/hr. A successful candidate’s actual base salary (or hourly wage) amount will be determined by a variety of relevant factors including, without limitation, the candidate’s work location, education, work and other relevant experience, skills, and job-related knowledge. A successful candidate will be eligible to participate in Sentry’s employee benefit plans/programs applicable to the candidate’s position (including incentive compensation, equity grants, paid time off, and group health insurance coverage).
