Sentry is an application monitoring platform trusted by 200,000+ organizations. The company helps developers fix errors and performance issues before users notice them, enabling teams to spend less time firefighting and more time building.
The Billing team sits at the intersection of product, finance, and infrastructure, responsible for ensuring every observable event (errors, logs, traces, tokens) gets accurately measured, priced, and billed. This work directly impacts company revenue and customer trust, requiring distributed systems expertise, financial accuracy, and deep understanding of product usage patterns.

- Communicate team progress, challenges, and strategic direction to senior leadership and stakeholders; represent the team's work internally and externally
You should be a product and platform-minded leader who enjoys distributed systems and software architecture problems, regarding Product and Design as peers. You have high agency, own your outcomes, and can define where Billing needs to be in 6-12 months. You leverage your technical background to inform team decisions, thrive in cross-functional environments, and foster career growth for team members.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience working on a customer-facing product, ideally within developer tools or high-traffic product surfaces
