Head of Developer Experience
About the role
Sentry helps developers fix errors and performance issues before users notice, so teams can spend less time firefighting and more time building. Trusted by 200,000+ organizations, Sentry is today’s application monitoring standard and our team is building its AI-native future.
Responsibilities
Own strategy and execution for Sentry's integration ecosystem and developer platform APIs — working closely with EPD to define the developer-facing surface and ensure building on Sentry is a genuinely good experience
Lead the documentation function across SDK configuration docs, API reference, and tutorials — the places where developer activation actually happens or doesn't
Connect docs to the product experience: logged-in state, contextual guidance, health checks, and surfacing adoption gaps in-context, in partnership with EPD and the Docs platform team
Own Sentry's developer community across Discord, social, and events, and build the team and processes that turn engagement into measurable outcomes: signups, adoption, support deflection
Build and deliver the content and education programs — workshops, deep dives, fireside chats — that teach developers tracing, debugging, and how to actually use Sentry's full product surface
Build relationships with the builders, toolmakers, and platform partners who extend Sentry's reach
Qualifications
7+ years in developer relations, developer experience, or a closely related technical role, with at least 3 years managing people
Experience owning or deeply influencing a developer platform, integration ecosystem, or SDK surface
Track record of building developer communities that drive measurable product outcomes
Strong technical writing instincts and demonstrated experience raising the bar on documentation quality
Observability, monitoring, or developer tooling background is a plus
