About the Role

We're looking for a Technical Lead to join the Coverage team at Sentry. In this role, you'll drive the architectural vision and execution of our backend systems, ensuring a seamless developer experience. You'll work closely with our engineering, product, and design teams to deliver innovative solutions that meet the needs of our customers. Sentry's Coverage team is responsible for much of the data ingestion, processing, storage, and external notification pipelines for the Codecov product. The Coverage team's work is a mixture of internally and externally facing initiatives that are typically highly technical in nature.

• Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and support to the engineering team, ensuring code quality and prioritized tasks
• Foster the adoption of best practices, design patterns, and cutting-edge technologies to keep our systems competitive and innovative
• Engage with cross-functional teams, advocating for engineering needs and promoting a strong engineering culture

You'll love this job if you

• Have deep empathy for developers and a passion for helping to alleviate their pain points
• Thrive in cross-functional environments, partnering with team members from diverse backgrounds to deliver the best solutions possible
• Have strong technical leadership skills, with an ability to guide and influence a team towards common goals

Qualifications

• 10+ years of product development experience, including at least 3 years of providing technical leadership to an engineering team through mentorship, task delegation, and code reviews
• Experience in designing, extending, and maintaining high-volume, mission-critical systems with a focus on performance and reliability
• Demonstrated success in contributing to a high-performing software engineering organization, valuing quality work and attention to detail
• Proficiency with Python, Django, Rust, and PostgreSQL is preferred, but not required
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
