Engineering Manager, Analytics Platform

Details

Sentry is on a mission to help developers write better software faster. With more than $217 million in funding and 100,000+ organizations using Sentry, we build performance and error monitoring tools that help companies spend less time fixing bugs and more time building products.

Sentry embraces a hybrid work model, with Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays set as in-office anchor days to encourage meaningful collaboration. The Events Analytics Platform (EAP) team powers how Sentry's event data (errors, transactions, spans, profiles, replays, and metrics) is stored, queried, and analyzed. The EAP team enables efficient search and debugging across massive volumes of data and is central to Sentry's long-term strategy to unify telemetry and context for developers.

Responsibilities

• Grow and develop a team of engineers with high expectations for ownership and impact.
• Set the technical and strategic direction for the team, balancing short-term stability with long-term architectural evolution.
• Drive development of core EAP features to support complex analytical query, dynamic routing logic for different fidelity levels, data movement in a cellularized architecture, storage and compute separation, and modern patterns for analytical storage.
• Guide the unification of all event data into EAP and enable fast and complex cross-event querying at scale.
• Partner closely with cross-functional teams including Product Engineering, Streaming, Production Engineering, Security, and Compliance.
• Lead the team through incidents, postmortems, and scaling challenges while fostering operational excellence.
• Build a healthy and collaborative team culture rooted in growth, accountability, and inclusion.

Requirements

• 10+ years of industry experience in software engineering.
• 4+ years of people management experience, including career development and performance management.
• Strong technical background in data platforms, storage systems, or analytical backends (for example ClickHouse, Pinot, or Druid).
• Experience with distributed systems, query optimization, and scaling data-intensive workloads.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate technical concepts to diverse audiences.
• Proficiency with Python, Rust, or a similar programming language is a plus.
• Familiarity with observability, developer tools, or event-driven systems is a plus.

Benefits

• Base salary range: $220,000 to $260,000 (actual amount depends on location, experience, skills, and other factors).
• Eligible to participate in Sentry's employee benefit plans/programs applicable to the position, including incentive compensation, equity grants, paid time off, and group health insurance coverage.
