Job Description

Software Engineer - New Grad

At Sentra we embarked on an exciting journey to build a one-of-a-kind company memory to help growing startups overcome scaling challenges. At Sentra , we've developed a true AI teammate that understands an organization's context, goals, and culture - offering both ICs and leaders unprecedented transparency into what's happening across the company and strategic alignment.

Sentra is backed by a16z and Together Fund , working with leaders from the top tech companies in the valley. Our goal? To never let a company lose itself as it gets bigger.

What you’ll do

  • Build and ship production features across the stack: frontend, backend, or both, depending on your interests and strengths

  • Design and implement scalable systems that power core product experiences

  • Iterate and ship code with AI coding tools (cursor, claude code, etc)

  • Design and ship beautiful, high-performance user experiences for Sentra’s desktop and web app

  • Own features end-to-end: from scoping → implementation → iteration and improvement

  • Operate in a fast-paced, early-stage environment with real ownership and outsized impact

  • Learn quickly, take initiative, and grow alongside the product and company

What we’re looking for

  • Recent graduate or early-career engineer with strong fundamentals in computer science and software engineering

  • Interest in frontend, backend, or full-stack development (we’re open to all three)

  • Ability to work independently, learn quickly, and move fast in an ambiguous, early-stage environment (we are a startup)

Backend / Full-Stack:

  • Experience with Python and building APIs

  • Familiarity with SQL databases and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS)

  • Interest in scalable systems and platform engineering

  • Bonus: exposure to LLMs, agentic frameworks, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)

Frontend / Full-Stack:

  • Experience building modern web UIs with React and TypeScript

  • Familiarity with component-based architecture, state management, and performance best practices

  • Strong product and visual sensibility (layout, spacing, typography, interaction states)

  • Experience with modern frontend tooling (e.g., Vite, Tailwind, testing frameworks)

  • Interest in simplifying complex workflows and data into interfaces that feel intuitive

What we offer

  • Competitive salary and equity

  • Free meals on in-office days

  • UberEats credits

  • Health insurance coverage (medical, dental, and vision)

  • Equinox and other fitness/wellness memberships

  • Transportation stipend

  • Flexible time off
