Engineering Manager, Infrastructure

Responsibilities

• Lead a team of engineers building the internal control platforms that every engineering team at Sentry relies on to operate services safely.
• Drive the evolution of Infrastructure Engineering's platform, including configuration management, traffic routing and environment controls.
• Own the team's technical direction, contributing to key decisions on API architecture, internal tooling design, and automation frameworks.
• Nurture and grow engineers at different levels, providing support through coaching, mentorship, and career development.
• Foster an inclusive, high-performing team culture focused on ownership, learning, and delivery.
• Partner with Production Engineering, SRE, and Developer Infrastructure to make sure operational tooling stays consistent and well-scoped across the org.
• Own the reliability, adoption, and roadmap of the team's tools while building a culture of technical excellence and pragmatic decision making.

Requirements

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, ideally with a focus on internal tooling, infrastructure automation, platform engineering, or distributed systems.
• 4+ years of engineering management experience, including growing and managing teams of engineers.
• Experience as a Tech Lead or Engineering Manager leading the architecture and long-term evolution of internal control platforms or similar systems.
• Strong backend or full-stack engineering background, with solid Python skills.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, Terraform, Python, and a systems mindset for abstracting complex infrastructure for others to use.
• 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 priorities across infra, platform, and product teams.

Nice-to-Haves

• Passionate about building tools that make operating complex systems simple for other engineers.
• Enjoy solving infrastructure problems around configuration, routing, and automation, and turning them into clean, self-service abstractions.
• Believe in using proven technologies and committing to a single, reliable choice rather than chasing novelty.
• Think in terms of building for scale and cost effectiveness from day one, and for the needs of many teams rather than one.
• Value cross-functional collaboration and thrive in hybrid, in-person settings with engineers across functions, levels, and geographies.
• Take pride in building strong, healthy teams and enabling them to lead high-impact, multi-year initiatives.
• Want to be part of a thoughtful, highly technical team that cares about long-term system health and operational simplicity.
