Sentry (sentry.io) | senior software engineer, Rust | Vienna, Austria OR Remote (EU) | https://sentry.io/careers/4635809/

As a Senior Software Engineer on our client infrastructure team, you'll join a cross-functional group of Software Engineers that is responsible for the client-facing operation of Sentry. This includes building and maintaining our event ingestion and processing pipeline, most notably Relay (https://github.com/getsentry/relay). This means you will be involved in the design and evolution of both external and internal services, as well as create new mission-critical software at Sentry.

If you like system programming, know Rust (or another systems programming language) and want to work on mission-critical high-volume services, this is the role for you. And your contributions are open source!

We have no Nim usage in the company. One of our engineers nominated it as something they find personally interesting, and we wanted to give at least a little bit to every project that our employees nominated.

By contrast, we use Rust quite heavily, including our core ingest component: https://github.com/getsentry/relay.

That's why there's such a discrepancy in this case.
