Posted May 18Engineering Manager, Machine Learning
at Sentry
San Francisco, United StatesHybrid
Requirements
- ABOUT THE ROLE AI and machine learning are reshaping how developers debug, monitor, and ship software, and Sentry is uniquely positioned to lead that shift.
- We sit on a novel and massive dataset of real production errors, spans, and logs from tens of thousands of engineering organizations — the kind of signal that makes ML genuinely useful, whether it's a clustering model that groups related issues, a ranking system that surfaces the right alert at the right time, or an agent that proposes a fix.
- We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and grow our Machine Learning Engineering team.
- This team owns the full spectrum of ML at Sentry: classical techniques like clustering, ranking, anomaly detection, and embeddings that quietly power core product surfaces today, alongside the LLM-based and agentic systems shaping where the product is headed.
- You'll partner closely with product, design, and engineering leaders to decide where ML belongs in our products, what kind of ML actually fits the problem, and how we translate that work into experiences millions of developers rely on every day.
- IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL - Set technical direction across the team's full ML surface area — from classical models for clustering, ranking, and anomaly detection to LLM-based and agentic systems — and make sharp calls about which approach fits each problem - Define how the team evaluates and monitors ML systems in production, from offline metrics to online experimentation to model and agent observability - Stay hands-on enough to review code and model designs, contribute to architecture discussions, and
- QUALIFICATIONS - 8+ years of professional engineering experience, with significant time spent building and shipping machine learning systems in production - 3+ years of engineering management experience, ideally leading ML, AI, or data-focused teams - Familiarity with deploying and operating ML models at scale, including evaluation, monitoring, and iteration in production - Strong judgment in ambiguous, fast-moving environments - Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable working across
Benefits
- With more than $217 million in funding and 100,000+ organizations that believe we’re on to something, we're building performance and error monitoring tools that help companies like Disney, Microsoft, and Atlassian spend less time fixing bugs and more time building products.
- The base salary range (or hourly wage range, if applicable) that Sentry reasonably expects to pay for this position is $220,000 to $280,000.
- A successful candidate's actual base salary (or hourly wage) amount will be determined by a variety of relevant factors including, without limitation, the candidate's work location, education, work and other relevant experience, skills, and job-related knowledge.
- A successful candidate will be 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). See Sentry
Additional details
- ABOUT SENTRY Bad software is everywhere, and we’re tired of it.
- Sentry is on a mission to help developers write better software faster so we can get back to enjoying technology.
- Sentry embraces a hybrid work model across our global hubs, with Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays set as in-office anchor days to encourage meaningful collaboration.
- If you like to selfishly build things that make your digital life better, come help us build the next generation of software monitoring tools.
- We're interested in people who are excited about this opportunity and eager to grow.
