Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBen Coe is a Senior Product Manager and former senior engineer with 15 years building developer tooling, CI/CD and scalable backend systems across startups and major platforms. He co-founded Attachments.me, scaled its email-processing systems to millions of items and exited via acquisition, then helped improve npm’s developer experience before a multi-year engineering stint at Google focused on Node.js, CI automation and release tooling. Now at Sentry, he blends product leadership with deep hands-on expertise in system design, test instrumentation and coverage (notably contributing to Istanbul/nyc and c8) and runtime improvements in Node.js. His open-source footprint spans yargs, Node core, Google Cloud client libraries and release-please, reflecting a knack for developer ergonomics and release automation. Comfortable toggling between code, infrastructure and product, he often surfaces practical fixes for brittle CI and cross-platform test pain points. Based in San Francisco, he pairs an M.Sc. in NLP with a track record of turning complex engineering challenges into usable, well-tested developer tools.
