The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
Lead work across Sentry's 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 they're 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
What they're looking for
- + 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 you've used
- Bonus: you've worked on growth at a developer tools company, built: experimentation infrastructure from a low starting point, or run experiments at volumes where significance wasn't guaranteed
