Role overview

The Platform org at Sentry spans developer platform, core infrastructure underpinning the product, SRE, security, and IT. It's a broad, technically complex, and deeply consequential organization. Sentry is hiring a Staff Technical Program Manager who operates at the intersection of technical depth and strategic execution. This person will report to the Head of Technical Program Management and work closely with the VP of Platform Engineering, their staff, and partner teams across Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD). The role is high-visibility and will involve working directly with the CTO and senior leaders to shape how the Platform org operates and help Sentry scale.

Responsibilities

• Drive strategic execution: partner with the VP of Platform Engineering and senior EPD leaders to translate priorities into clear, measurable plans; own sequencing, milestones, and key decisions; ensure leadership has reliable visibility into progress and tradeoffs.
• Build data-driven delivery health: establish metrics and dashboards that reflect delivery confidence, risk, and engineering health across the Platform org; keep planning and reporting high-signal and lightweight, focused on outcomes.
• Manage capacity, dependencies, and risk: create visibility into resourcing, cross-team dependencies, and constraints so leaders can align investment to the highest-impact priorities; surface risks early and drive tradeoffs when priorities compete; keep complex initiatives on track.

Requirements

• 8+ years of Technical Program Management experience at a high-growth technology company, with direct exposure to platform, infrastructure, SRE, or security engineering organizations.
• Proven ability to lead complex, cross-functional programs spanning engineering, product, and business functions in a matrixed organization.
• Experience defining or improving incident management, on-call processes, or operational reliability programs.
• Strong analytical instincts: ability to build systems to track delivery health and use data to drive decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to build structure and operating cadence in environments where neither existed, creating processes that teams adopt and sustain.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; able to produce high-signal, low-overhead reporting artifacts for senior and executive audiences, and go deep with engineers with equal confidence.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary range: $200,000 to $240,000 per year.
• Eligible to participate in Sentry’s employee benefit plans/programs applicable to the candidate’s position, including incentive compensation, equity grants, paid time off, and group health insurance coverage.
