Sentry's Support Engineers play a crucial role in bridging the gap between support and engineering by compiling common issues and feature requests, working on them with more experienced engineers, and engaging with users to provide results. They contribute to engineering projects, such as improving the Audit Log, which requires collaboration with mentors and other engineers through pair programming sessions. This mentorship fosters personal and career growth, allowing Support Engineers to build on existing skills while gaining insight into the engineering process at Sentry. The work of a Support Engineer involves helping users self-diagnose issues, building processes and systems that aid both customers and internal teams, and providing detailed insight to customers without escalating issues to additional teams.
