Full Job Description

ABOUT SENTRY Software runs the world and the pace is faster than ever. Sentry helps developers fix errors and performance issues before users notice, so teams can spend less time firefighting and more time building. Trusted by 100,000+ organizations, Sentry is today’s application monitoring standard and our team is building its AI-native future. ABOUT THE ROLE Developer experience at Sentry spans four areas: the integration and developer platform, docs, community, and DevRel. The DevEx team is responsible for how developers first encounter Sentry, how they learn to use it, and how they build on top of it — from SDK configuration docs to the Discord community to the integrations ecosystem. This role owns all of it. We recently had our Head of DevEx depart, and we're looking for a senior leader to step in with real ownership and real scope. You'll sit in Marketing, partner closely with EPD, and have direct influence over both the product surface (the integration platform) and the team responsible for developer education, docs, and community. IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL - Own strategy and execution for Sentry's integration ecosystem and developer platform APIs — working closely with EPD to define the developer-facing surface and ensure building on Sentry is a genuinely good experience - Lead the documentation function across SDK configuration docs, API reference, and tutorials — the places where developer activation actually happens or doesn't - Connect docs to the product experience: logged-in state, contextual guidance, health checks, and surfacing adoption gaps in-context, in partnership with EPD and the Docs platform team - Own Sentry's developer community across Discord, social, and events, and build the team and processes that turn engagement into measurable outcomes: signups, adoption, support deflection - Build and deliver the content and education programs — workshops, deep dives, fireside chats — that teach developers tracing, debugging, and how to actually use Sen
