Engineering Manager, Profiling - Sentry (sentry.io)｜Meet.jobs

About the Role

The Profiling team creates tools that help developers improve the performance of their code. We measure how long code takes to execute in production, revealing hot spots that could be optimized to reduce infrastructure costs and deliver a higher quality experience for end users. Our goal is to make profiling easy to use for all developers, not just the experts.

As the Engineering Manager of the Profiling team, you’ll lead a distributed team of engineers delivering on every aspect of building a profiling product: data collection via our SDKs, ingestion and processing pipelines, and visualizations. You’ll also collaborate with other teams at Sentry to make sure our solutions scale, and resolve actual customer problems, and integrate with existing Sentry products.

This is a critical role for Sentry and requires a high degree of technical context on profiling and the overall performance monitoring domain.

In this role you will

• Grow and develop a distributed team of talented and motivated engineers with high expectations around individual ownership and impact
• Set technical direction for the team, anticipating strategic and scaling-related challenges
• Drive execution by determining the shortest path to our goals, removing blockers for your team, and delivering value to our customers at a rapid pace
• Collaborate with the product management function to develop a long term roadmap based on both strong personal intuition and internal/external feedback
• Actively contribute to software architecture and design discussions
• Talk to Sentry’s customers to understand how they use our product and how we can alleviate their pain points
• Foster a healthy and collaborative culture that embodies our values

You’ll love this job if you

• Are passionate about the performance monitoring product space and have strong opinions on how these tools can help developers build better software
• Enjoy guiding a highly experienced team of engineers to realize their fullest potential
• Thrive in cross-functional environments, collaborating with individuals across many disciplines to deliver the best solutions possible
• Have an eye for good product design and usability

Qualifications

• 5+ years experience as a software engineer and 3+ years experience managing a fully or partially distributed engineering team
• Experience using profiling and performance monitoring tools to optimize software (must-have), and preferably have experience building such tools
• Familiarity with C, C++, Rust, Go, or other systems programming languages
• Familiarity with architectural patterns for building scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems
• Experience with scoping work, performing resource allocation, and establishing engineering milestones and delivery dates
• Experience growing technical teams through direct hiring and a strong sense of how to optimize a growing technical team for success
• A strong understanding of lean product development; you validate ideas quickly and adjust as you learn
• Excellent written and oral communication skills and an ability to articulate technical concepts clearly and succinctly
