Full Job Description

ABOUT SENTRY Bad software is everywhere, and we’re tired of it. Sentry is on a mission to help developers write better software faster so we can get back to enjoying technology. With more than $217 million in funding and 100,000+ organizations that believe we’re on to something, we're building performance and error monitoring tools that help companies like Disney, Microsoft, and Atlassian spend less time fixing bugs and more time building products. Sentry embraces a hybrid work model across our global hubs, with Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays set as in-office anchor days to encourage meaningful collaboration. If you like to selfishly build things that make your digital life better, come help us build the next generation of software monitoring tools. ABOUT THE ROLE AI and machine learning are reshaping how developers debug, monitor, and ship software, and Sentry is uniquely positioned to lead that shift. We sit on a novel and massive dataset of real production errors, spans, and logs from tens of thousands of engineering organizations — the kind of signal that makes ML genuinely useful, whether it's a clustering model that groups related issues, a ranking system that surfaces the right alert at the right time, or an agent that proposes a fix. We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and grow our Machine Learning Engineering team. This team owns the full spectrum of ML at Sentry: classical techniques like clustering, ranking, anomaly detection, and embeddings that quietly power core product surfaces today, alongside the LLM-based and agentic systems shaping where the product is headed. You'll partner closely with product, design, and engineering leaders to decide where ML belongs in our products, what kind of ML actually fits the problem, and how we translate that work into experiences millions of developers rely on every day. IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL - Set technical direction across the team's full ML surface area — from classical models for clustering, rankin
