About the role
Sentry's Infrastructure Engineering team is what makes operating Sentry simple, safe, and seamless for every other engineering team in the company. They build the internal control platforms, configuration systems, traffic routing, and automation that let product engineers operate services safely at scale without needing deep infrastructure expertise themselves.
As the Engineering Manager for Infrastructure Engineering, you'll lead a team of engineers building the tools that power Sentry's growth: internal admin and change management tools, configuration automation, and the routing layer that underlies Sentry's architecture. You'll be responsible for technical vision, team health, system reliability, and partnership with engineering teams across the company who depend on your team's tools every day.
You'll work closely with leaders across Infrastructure, Platform, and Production Engineering to shape how Sentry scales its operational model as the company grows.

Lead a team of engineers building the internal control platforms that every engineering team at Sentry relies on to operate services safely.
Drive the evolution of Infrastructure Engineering's platform, including configuration management, traffic routing and environment controls

Nurture and grow engineers at different levels, providing support through coaching, mentorship, and career development.
Foster an inclusive, high-performing team culture focused on ownership, learning, and delivery.
Partner with Production Engineering, SRE, and Developer Infrastructure to make sure operational tooling stays consistent and well-scoped across the org.
Own the reliability, adoption, and roadmap of the team's tools while building a culture of technical excellence and pragmatic decision making.
You'll love this job if you
Are passionate about building tools that make operating complex systems simple for other engineers.
Enjoy solving infrastructure problems around configuration, routing, and automation, and turning them into clean, self-service abstractions.
Believe in using proven technologies and committing to a single, reliable choice rather than chasing novelty.
Think in terms of building for scale and cost effectiveness from day one, and for the needs of many teams rather than one.
Value cross-functional collaboration and thrive in hybrid, in-person settings with engineers across functions, levels, and geographies.
Take pride in building strong, healthy teams and enabling them to lead high-impact, multi-year initiatives.
Want to be part of a thoughtful, highly technical team that cares about long-term system health and operational simplicity.
