Company mission
To empower developer teams to build their best possible software, more quickly and easily.
Role
Who you are
- Get energized by technically complex, cross-functional work and find deep satisfaction in making execution smoother and more predictable at scale
- Have a strong point of view and aren't afraid to bring it to a room full of senior engineers and leaders
- Love turning ambiguity into operating clarity: strong rhythms, sharp plans, measurable outcomes
- Have a genuine appreciation for platform and infrastructure challenges — you understand why reliability, scalability, and security aren't just operational concerns, they're strategic ones
- 8+ years of Technical Program Management experience at a high-growth technology company, with direct exposure to platform, infrastructure, SRE, or security engineering organizations
- Proven ability to lead complex, cross-functional programs spanning engineering, product, and business functions in a matrixed organization
- Experience defining or improving incident management, on-call processes, or operational reliability programs
- Strong analytical instincts: you build systems to track delivery health and use data to drive decisions
- Demonstrated ability to build structure and operating cadence in environments where neither existed, creating processes that teams adopt and sustain
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; you can produce high-signal, low-overhead reporting artifacts for senior and executive audiences, and go deep with engineers with equal confidence
What the job involves
- The Platform org at Sentry is the engine that everything else runs on, spanning developer platform, core infrastructure underpinning the product, SRE, security, and IT
- It's a broad, technically complex, and deeply consequential organization
- We're looking for a Staff Technical Program Manager who can operate at the intersection of technical depth and strategic execution: someone who thrives in complexity, builds trust with senior engineering leaders, and has a gift for turning ambiguity into clarity and momentum
- You'll report to the Head of Technical Program Management and work closely with the VP of Platform Engineering, their staff, and partner teams across Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD)
- This is a high-visibility role with real influence
- You'll work directly with the CTO and senior leaders, shape how the Platform org operates, and help Sentry scale through one of its most important chapters
- Drive strategic execution. Partner with the VP of Platform Engineering and senior EPD leaders to translate priorities into clear, measurable plans. Own sequencing, milestones, and key decisions, and make sure leadership always has reliable visibility into progress and tradeoffs
- Build data-driven delivery health. Establish the metrics and dashboards that reflect delivery confidence, risk, and engineering health across the Platform org. Keep planning and reporting high-signal and lightweight, focused on outcomes rather than activity
- Manage capacity, dependencies, and risk. Create visibility into resourcing, cross-team dependencies, and constraints so leaders can align investment to the highest-impact priorities. Surface risks early, drive tradeoffs when priorities compete, and keep complex initiatives on track
Our take
Defective software leads to dissatisfied users, disruptions and potential financial losses for companies. Sentry has created application monitoring and error tracking software to help developers fix errors faster, easier and more cost effectively.
More than 1 million developers and 70,000 organizations worldwide, including the likes of Microsoft, Disney, Atlassian, Cloudflare and Slack, have used Sentry to monitor their code health. And the company is well-positioned for significant growth as there is an emerging need for solutions that address holistic application health. As more companies focus on digital to engage with their customers, the reliability of their applications is essential.
The global bug-tracking software market is expected to reach over $600 million by the end of 2026 with an annual growth rate of almost 10%. Further, the company opened another office in Denver in early 2023, expanding its regional presence, as it continues to broaden its market presence.
