Job Description

The Sentry Story

Our Co-Founders David Cramer and Chris Jennings realized that developers are at the core of virtually every organization, building and managing the software that makes modern businesses tick. With the developers' workflow in mind, they started an open-source side project that has now turned into a well-loved product used by 1M+ developers.

It is our mission to empower software development teams to build better products, faster. Our application monitoring platform helps millions of developers discover, triage, and resolve software issues, so they can spend less time debugging and more time doing what they love... building software.

About the Role / Impact

The Product Engineering organization is responsible for nearly all of Sentry's user-facing product development. This scope includes (but is not limited to) our web-based dashboard for assessing issue impact, workflow tools for assignment and resolution, alerting mechanisms, our developer API and integration platform, authentication and identity, and more.

As Engineering Manager in Product Engineering, you’ll lead four to seven cross-functional engineers across multiple teams tasked with improving and expanding the Sentry product. You'll work closely with your team, product managers, designers, and other engineering teams to build features that provide value to our users and align with business goals. You'll inspire your teams to do their best work by cultivating a strong team identity, performing regular 1:1s and career coaching, planning aggressive-but-realistic milestones, and by keeping everyone accountable. You'll grow your teams both by leveling up engineers, as well as being responsible for hiring – regularly interviewing talented candidates, convincing them to join our mission to have Sentry in every developer's toolbox.

You'll be successful in this role if you have:

• 7+ years industry experience in software engineering, with considerable experience building full stack web applications
• 2+ years of people management experience
• A strong empathy for user experience; you care deeply about product experience and delivering real value to users
• Excellent written and oral communication skills and an ability to articulate technical concepts clearly and succinctly
• Experience with one or more parts of our stack (Python, Django, JavaScript, React, and/or PostgreSQL)
