Head of Developer Experience

Developer experience at Sentry spans four areas: the integration and developer platform, docs, community, and DevRel. The DevEx team is responsible for how developers first encounter Sentry, how they learn to use it, and how they build on top of it — from SDK configuration docs to the Discord community to the integrations ecosystem. This role owns all of it.

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

Requirements

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

Nice to have

Observability, monitoring, or developer tooling background is a plus
