What you'll do
At Sentry, our Mobile SDK team builds the next generation of observability tools for developers worldwide — processing over a billion events every single day. We're looking for a technical Engineering Manager to lead one of our Mobile SDK teams, either Apple or Android.
This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of technical leadership, product sense, and team development and will help us elevate both the system and the people who build it. You will own the technical direction, team health, and product quality of a major open-source SDK used by thousands of developers. This role reports to the Senior Engineering Manager Mobile SDKs.
Lead, mentor, coach, and sponsor a team of 4–6 engineers — setting a high bar, managing performance, creating real opportunities for career growth, as well as recruiting and onboarding new team members
Own the technical direction and roadmap for your SDK team, ensuring we build scalable, reliable, and high-quality SDKs in close collaboration with your manager and stakeholders across the company.
Stay hands-on — reviewing code, contributing to architecture discussions, and unblocking engineers on the hardest problems
Drive execution by scoping work, allocating resources, setting milestones, removing blockers, and keeping the team moving
Level up how your team works — continuously improving engineering processes and leveraging AI tools and workflows to make the team faster and more effective
Track the metrics that matter, using data to detect issues early, monitor team and SDK health, and keep delivery on track
Communicate clearly in all directions — representing your team to leadership, aligning with product and engineering partners, and navigating difficult conversations with candor and care
YOU’LL LOVE THIS ROLE IF YOU
Are a product-minded leader who gets excited about elegant APIs and developer experience as much as building great teams
Have a strong engineering background that you use to inform and validate the team's technical decisions. You're comfortable in code and want to stay close to it
Thrive in cross-functional environments, collaborating with individuals across many disciplines to deliver the best solutions possible
Love to foster career growth of those around you, finding opportunities for team members to excel
Requirements
5+ years of professional experience as a Software Engineer, with a strong focus on mobile platforms (iOS and/or Android), ideally in SDK development or developer tooling
2+ years of engineering management experience
Technical fluency — comfortable reviewing code, driving architecture decisions, earning the trust of your team, and leveraging AI tools in engineering workflows
Experience owning a significant product area end-to-end — scoping work, allocating resources, setting milestones, shipping, and iterating over time
Excellent written and spoken communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts, tradeoffs, and team progress clearly to a variety of audiences
You live in the Vienna area or are willing to relocate for this incredible opportunity
Ideally, you have experience with both Apple and Android platforms and cross-platform (React Native, Flutter)
