What the job involves
- As the Product Marketing Manager for Sentry's core platform, you will own the end-to-end go-to-market strategy to drive product awareness, adoption, and expansion.
- You will work cross-functionally to distill complex information into compelling and concise messaging and materials that resonate with the developer audience—showcasing a deep understanding of the product, target audience, and market landscape.
- You will also work closely with strategic integration and ecosystem partners to enhance product offerings and expand market reach.
- Your role extends beyond just promoting product features; by deeply understanding the user and market, you'll influence product development and shape our go-to-market strategy
- Craft and execute a creative product marketing strategy and shape the go-to-market motion for both
- From ecosystem partnerships to sales enablement, you’ll especially nerd out on our measurement-focused product areas and drive acquisition, adoption and activation strategies
- Drive revenue by understanding why. As the owner of the core product’s success, you’re able to influence product strategy with market insights to drive the business forward
- Be the voice of the customer. Understand the needs, pains, and dreams of new developers signing up for Sentry. And drive home how we differentiate from the competition to ensure their success with Sentry from sign up to sending their first event
- Get the word out. Plan and coordinate product launches across multiple channels with the primary goal of growing awareness and engagement
- Craft concise, benefits-driven messaging. Develop elegant value propositions for both developers and self-serve customers that don’t sound like everyone else. Being technically accurate, thinking through your audiences, being consistent, and validating through experimentation are key
- Write the rest of the story. Consider a launch Chapter 1. Continue the narrative and create new interest in Sentry by building and executing on value-based campaigns
- Creatively drive the funnel. Thoughtfully identify gaps in content and ways to keep demand metrics growing -- from awareness to expansion for the core product
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. The company is well positioned for significant growth. 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 2026 with an annual growth rate of almost 10%. Further, the company has also opened another office in Denver in early 2023, expanding its regional presence, and has announced additional functionality in its platform, all of which bodes well for Sentry's future.

Company values
- Pixels matter - We understand that the difference between a good product and a great one is in the finer details. We take extra care to get everything right, down to the last pixel
- Feedback is priceless - White lies help no one. We give each other constructive, respectful, and sincere feedback for the best collective outcome and most personal growth. (On our work, that is. We'll keep opinions on your floral-patterned pants to ourselves)
- Step by step - We don't expect to get things right the first time around. We do our best work by iterating: making small changes, measuring impact, and trying again (and again, and sometimes again)
- For every developer - Sentry is a tool for everyone who codes. We strive to create a product that's accessible (and indispensable) to developers at any level, at companies big, small, and everything beyond and in between
- Work in progress - We know that we don't know everything. Nothing here is set in stone. We're still filling roles and writing rules, as a team. In the meantime, we embrace individual ownership, autonomy, and accountability
- Value people - We respect one another. We understand that success comes from a variety of backgrounds, experiences, skills, and opinions — not in spite of it. Even if we disagree on the route, we still push forward to the end
