Engineering Manager, Growth

Software runs the world and the pace is faster than ever. Sentry helps developers fix errors and performance issues before users notice so teams can spend less time firefighting and more time building.

Trusted by 200000 organizations Sentry is todays application monitoring standard and our team is building its AI-native future.

Sentry is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Growth team (internally called Value Discovery) and help expand our product-led business by helping customers discover and get the most out of our platform.

At Sentry we do growth with an explicit bias for customer value. Our experiments are rooted in strong product sense and empathy for developers not conversion pressure. We never surprise developers with new charges or push features they dont a binary tradeoff between doing good by the customer or good by the business the customer always wins.

Youll collaborate closely with several areas of the business including Product BizOps Data Design and GTM to identify the moments in a developers workflow where Sentry can deliver more value make that value easier to find and support that your approach works with data.

Youll lead a team of engineers set its priorities and be accountable for the metrics it moves. This is a new role and the roadmap is yours to define and execute in partnership with design and data teams.

• Lead work across Sentrys self-serve funnel signup and onboarding first-run activation moments in-product trial and upgrade paths and pricing and billing surfaces in partnership with the Billing team largely in our Python/Django and TypeScript/React codebase

• Evolve our experimentation foundations in close partnership with our Data team flagging instrumentation and readouts are real but far from finished

• Run a fast disciplined experimentation loop where hypotheses are argued before theyre built

• Hold conversion and activation alongside churn support volume and 90-day retention and report all of them including the experiments that come back flat

• Grow the engineers on your team including the underrated skill of doing excellent work on something that might be deleted next week

• Believe Growth done well is a form of customer service not a conversion engine

• Would rather ship one well-argued hypothesis than five cheap tests and can tell the difference before the results come in

• Love digging into data to find insights but form your best hypotheses from empathizing with customers

• Enjoy the challenge of understanding developer workflows deeply enough to know where and when a change creates value

• Want to build the measurement foundation rather than inherit one and have opinions about what a team should/shouldnt bother instrumenting

• Are comfortable being the person who says the result doesnt hold up

• 3 years managing engineers including time owning a metric-driven team on top of a strong engineering background

• Technically credible with senior engineers our EMs engage substantively in architecture and technical decisions and every EM passes a technical assessment at a senior IC bar

• Strong product sense you identify where a change will create the most value not just where a metric can be moved

• Experience helping users get the most out of a complex product

• Working fluency with experimentation frameworks feature flags A/B testing and analytics instrumentation

• Able to talk to users credibly about their workflows tooling and pain points with genuine opinions about the developer tools youve used

• Bonus: youve worked on growth at a developer tools company built experimentation infrastructure from a low starting point or run experiments at volumes where significance wasnt guaranteed
