About Sentry
Bad software is everywhere, and we’re tired of it. 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, the company builds performance and error monitoring tools used by companies like Disney, Microsoft, and Atlassian. Sentry embraces a hybrid work model across its global hubs, with Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays set as in-office anchor days to encourage meaningful collaboration.
About This Role
The Mobile SDK team builds the next generation of observability tools for developers — processing over a billion events every single day. Sentry is hiring a technical Engineering Manager to lead one of the Mobile SDK teams (either Apple or Android). This role sits at the intersection of technical leadership, product sense, and team development. You will own the technical direction, team health, and product quality of a major open-source SDK used by thousands of developers. This role reports to the Senior Engineering Manager, Mobile SDKs.
Responsibilities
- Lead, mentor, coach, and sponsor a team of 4–6 engineers — set a high bar, manage performance, create career growth opportunities, and recruit/onboard new team members.
- Own technical direction and roadmap for your SDK team, ensuring scalable, reliable, high-quality SDKs in collaboration with stakeholders.
- Stay hands-on: review code, contribute to architecture discussions, and unblock engineers on hard problems.
- Drive execution: scope work, allocate resources, set milestones, remove blockers, and keep the team moving.
- Continuously improve engineering processes and leverage AI tools and workflows to increase team speed and effectiveness.
- Track meaningful metrics to detect issues early, monitor team and SDK health, and keep delivery on track.
- Communicate clearly in all directions — represent your team to leadership, align with product and engineering partners, and navigate difficult conversations.
You'll Love This Role If You
- Are a product-minded leader who cares about elegant APIs and developer experience as much as building great teams.
- Have a strong engineering background and want to stay close to code.
- Thrive in cross-functional environments and collaborate across disciplines.
- Enjoy fostering career growth for teammates.
Qualifications
- 5+ years professional experience as a Software Engineer with strong focus on mobile platforms (iOS and/or Android), ideally in SDK development or developer tooling.
- 2+ years of engineering management experience.
- Technical fluency: comfortable reviewing code, driving architecture decisions, earning the trust of your team, and leveraging AI tools in engineering workflows.
- Experience owning a significant product area end-to-end: scoping, resourcing, milestone setting, shipping, and iterating.
- Excellent written and spoken communication skills for a variety of audiences.
- You live in the Vienna area or are willing to relocate for this opportunity.
- Ideally, experience with both Apple and Android platforms and cross-platform frameworks (React Native, Flutter).
