About the role

Role focused on owning AI-assisted coding within Sentry’s Platform Engineering organization, building systems and workflows for AI coding agents to contribute to the codebase, with emphasis on internal developer systems accessibility, context/execution tooling, automated PR evaluations, and recurring automation.

Responsibilities

  • Set priorities for AI-assisted development at Sentry, using engineer feedback and workflow data to identify where agents would provide the most value.
  • Make internal developer systems accessible through APIs and build integrations enabling agents to complete workflows across those systems.
  • Build context systems and agent execution tooling, including tool access, permissions, checkpoints, retries, and logging.
  • Develop automated checks, evaluations, and feedback loops to improve the correctness, maintainability, and review readiness of AI-generated pull requests.
  • Automate recurring work such as security dependency upgrades, minor bug fixes, and routine maintenance.
  • Improve supporting developer workflows, including issue triage and CI/CD, where they limit agent effectiveness or create repetitive work for engineers.
  • Lead changes across engineering teams, build agreement on priorities, and measure whether the tools reduce manual work and improve delivery.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience, including hands-on ownership of production systems.
  • Experience building developer tools, infrastructure, or automation used by engineering teams, such as CI/CD systems, internal APIs, code review tooling, or agent workflows.
  • Hands-on experience using AI coding tools and agents, with an understanding of how context, tool access, and validation affect their output. Prior machine learning experience is not required.
  • Strong software engineering and system design fundamentals, including experience building reliable integrations across systems.
  • A track record of leading cross-team technical initiatives from problem definition through implementation and adoption.
  • Clear written and verbal communication, including explaining technical decisions and recommendations to senior engineering leaders.
