At Sentry, our customers are software developers. Solving their problems is complex, technical, and requires deep code literacy. We don't believe in 'managers who don't know the product.' We are looking for a Technical Support Manager who leads from the front lines. You will lead a team of high-performing Support Engineers, but you won't be managing from an ivory tower. You will be a 'Player-Coach' - spending a significant portion of your week in the queue, handling the most complex technical escalations, debugging code in open-source repos, chatting with engineers at Discord, and acting as the primary Subject Matter Expert (SME) for your team. You are a former engineer or high-level support architect who loves the technical hunt but is ready to force-multiply that passion by mentoring a team. You will drive success not just by tracking metrics, but by showing your team how to solve the unsolvable.
Job Responsibility:
Lead from the Front (Technical Execution): Be the Technical SME: Serve as the ultimate escalation point for complex questions regarding Sentry’s SDKs, trace propagation, and more
Active Queue Participation: Dedicate a portion of your week to answering inbound support requests, keeping your product knowledge sharp and setting the standard for quality
Triage & Debug: Triage, reproduce, and report complex product bugs. You will be expected to read source code to distinguish between a user error and a true platform bug before escalating to Engineering
Community Engagement: Engage directly with users in our public channels (Discord, GitHub) to solve problems and represent the Sentry brand technically
Manage & Mentor (Team Leadership): Develop the Team: Conduct code reviews on ticket responses, provide deep technical feedback, and mentor engineers on debugging strategies and software fundamentals
Drive Performance: Own your team’s core metrics (CSAT, Response Time, Resolution Time) and workload balancing
Shape the Knowledge Base: Not only write articles yourself but curate the team's output to ensure our internal guides and customer-facing docs are technically accurate and up-to-date
Incident Command: Participate in the on-call rotation for high-severity issues and act as the Incident Commander for support during critical outages.
Requirements:
8+ years of total experience in technical support, software engineering, or sales engineering
2+ years of people management or team lead experience, with a track record of hiring and mentoring technical talent
Deep Technical Proficiency: You must be able to read and debug code. Experience with Python, JavaScript, or other languages is required. You should be comfortable opening a browser console or a terminal to reproduce an issue
Modern Stack Knowledge: Strong understanding of the modern dev landscape (CI/CD, APIs, Microservices, Frontend vs. Backend, Observability)
Hands-On Philosophy: A willingness to roll up your sleeves and work tickets. If you are looking to move away from technical work entirely, this is not the role for you.
Nice to have:
Previous experience working as a Software Engineer or in a DevOps role
Active contributions to Open Source projects (please share your GitHub!)
Experience implementing Support tools or workflows (Zendesk, JIRA, Linear).
