Engineering Manager, Developer Infrastructure

Sentry•San Francisco, CA

3d•$220,000 - $300,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Sentry's Developer Infrastructure team is one of the company's most critical force multipliers. Every engineer at Sentry depends on the tooling we build, including CI/CD systems, development environments, and golden paths for software development, to ship high-quality software quickly and safely. As Sentry moves into a world where developers work alongside multiple coding agents in parallel, Dev Infra has a central role in shaping how that new development lifecycle works. As the Engineering Manager for Dev Infra, you'll lead a talented team of engineers building the platform that supports both developers and the agents working alongside them: reproducible cloud-based development environments, fast and trustworthy CI/CD pipelines, queryable development-lifecycle context, and the infrastructure for background agents. You'll be responsible for technical vision, team health, system reliability, and cross-functional partnership across the entire engineering org. You'll work closely with experienced engineers and leaders across Infrastructure, Platform, and Product to shape how every engineer at Sentry harnesses AI to build software. This role also presents a strong growth opportunity as we expect this leader to take on additional charters and teams over time as the Dev Infra organization expands.

Requirements

10+ years of software engineering experience, ideally with a focus on developer infrastructure, build/CI systems, platform engineering, or distributed systems
4+ years of engineering management experience, including growing and managing teams of engineers across multiple charters
Experience as a Tech Lead or Engineering Manager leading the architecture, development, and long-term evolution of developer-facing platforms (CI/CD systems, development environments, build infrastructure, or similar)
Familiarity with modern CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, or similar), cloud-based development environments, and container/VM orchestration
Working knowledge of AI-assisted development workflows and a point of view on how coding agents change developer infrastructure requirements
Strong technical communication skills and a track record of effective cross-team and leadership collaboration
Proven experience delivering and owning multi-year engineering initiatives in a leadership or technical leadership capacity
Comfortable working across org boundaries and aligning product, infra, and platform priorities
