About the role
- 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
Responsibilities
- Stay hands-on enough to review code and model designs, contribute to architecture discussions, and unblock engineers on complex ML problems
- Partner with product managers, designers, and engineering leaders across Sentry to identify the highest-impact opportunities for ML in our products
- Have a strong ML engineering background that you use to inform and validate the team's technical decisions, and you're comfortable staying close to the code
- Are excited to shape how AI and developer tools come together, and want to define how engineers and coding agents collaborate to find and fix problems
- Are driven by impact and want to lead a team working on high-stakes, high-visibility projects
- Love building things from the ground up - the ML team is still in its early chapters, and there's plenty of greenfield to shape
- Thrive in cross-functional environments and enjoy collaborating across product, design, and engineering to ship great work
- 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.
Requirements
- 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
- 8+ years of professional engineering experience, with significant time spent building and shipping machine learning systems in production
- Strong judgment in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
- Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable working across product, research, and engineering
- A research background in machine learning, statistics, or a related field (MS, PhD, or equivalent research experience) is a plus but not a requirement
Compensation
- 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.
