Sentry is an application monitoring platform trusted by 200,000+ organizations. The Infrastructure Engineering team builds the internal control platforms, configuration systems, traffic routing, and automation that enable product engineers across the company to operate services safely at scale.
As Engineering Manager for Infrastructure Engineering, you will lead a team of engineers responsible for the internal tools and platforms that every engineering team at Sentry depends on daily. Your responsibilities include:
- Leading a team building internal control platforms, configuration management systems, traffic routing, and environment controls
- Driving the technical evolution of Infrastructure Engineering's platform, including API architecture, internal tooling design, and automation frameworks
- Owning the team's technical direction and contributing to key architectural decisions
- Growing engineers at different levels through coaching, mentorship, and career development
- Building an inclusive, high-performing team culture focused on ownership, learning, and delivery
- Partnering with Production Engineering, SRE, and Developer Infrastructure teams to ensure consistency and proper scoping of operational tooling
- Owning reliability, adoption, and roadmap of the team's tools while fostering technical excellence and pragmatic decision-making
You should be passionate about building tools that simplify operating complex systems for other engineers. You excel at solving infrastructure problems around configuration, routing, and automation, turning them into clean, self-service abstractions. You prefer proven technologies and reliable choices over novelty, think in terms of scale and cost-effectiveness from day one, and value cross-functional collaboration.
Required qualifications: 10+ years of software engineering experience (ideally in internal tooling, infrastructure automation, platform engineering, or distributed systems); 4+ years of engineering management experience managing teams; experience as Tech Lead or Engineering Manager leading architecture and evolution of internal control platforms; strong backend or full-stack engineering background with solid Python skills; familiarity with Kubernetes, Terraform, Python, and systems thinking; strong technical communication and cross-team collaboration skills; proven track record delivering multi-year engineering initiatives.
