Software Engineer - Internship

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.
